Summary

The Ministry of Transportation strives to be a world leader in moving people and goods safely, efficiently, and sustainably to support a globally-competitive economy and a high quality of life.

Ontario’s transportation network is vital to the province’s economy and quality of life. It connects us to the global marketplace, and to one another. It ensures that goods can get to market, commuters can travel between home and work, and that businesses will invest and operate in the province to their full potential.

The Ministry of Transportation’s policies, programs, and strategic investments – including maintenance, renewal and expansion – promote mobility, connectivity, and productivity, while supporting the province’s economic and climate change objectives. Major programs include planning for and investing in critical transportation infrastructure such as transit, highways, bridges, strategic corridors, and advancing driver and vehicle safety.

Policy and Planning - Vote 2702

The Policy and Planning Program is responsible for identifying the long-term, strategic interests of the province with respect to Ontario’s transportation systems, including transit. It also develops and implements policies, plans, programs and investments necessary to achieve that interest.

The program leads economic analysis and strategic research to support the sustainable and efficient movement of goods and people across Ontario’s multimodal transportation system. It supports Moving Ontario Forward, a key government initiative to improve transit, transportation and other critical infrastructure in Ontario, and is also responsible for managing the province’s relationship with Crown Agencies such as Metrolinx, which includes GO Transit and PRESTO.

The program also supports the province’s climate change objectives through policy and program-related initiatives, including supporting the adoption of electric vehicles and promoting cycling. It also supports innovation in the transportation sector through policy development and planning for emerging trends such as connected/automated vehicles, high speed rail, and the sharing economy.

Additionally, the program works to advance Ontario’s transportation priorities and interests through the development of transport-related environmental policy, and maintaining strong relationships with the federal government, other provinces, municipalities, and Indigenous communities.

Note: recoveries under Urban and Regional Transportation include recoveries of $523,500,800 in Capital Expense and $173,832,200 in Operating Expense from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account, which are based on forecasts of anticipated revenues and contingent upon a sufficient balance standing to the credit of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account.

Note: recoveries under Capital Expense for Urban and Regional Transportation include recoveries of $497,051,700 from the Trillium Trust, which are contingent upon a sufficient balance standing to the credit of the Trillium Trust.

Road User Safety Program - vote 2703

The Road User Safety Program develops and implements strategies to improve road safety and mobility through the promotion of responsible driving behaviour and motor vehicle safety.

Ontario has an excellent long-term road safety record and is consistently one of the safest road jurisdictions in North America. The Ministry of Transportation’s Road User Safety Program leads and actively participates with other jurisdictions in Canada and the United States in developing, promoting and evaluating road safety initiatives and best practices. The program works with many partners, including law enforcement agencies, community groups, safety organizations, the medical community, international researchers and research institutions, public health units, injury prevention practitioners, the insurance industry and the private sector, to reduce collisions, fatalities and injuries on our roads.

The key responsibilities of the program are to: set safety standards and develop policies, programs, legislation and regulations for road users, commercial carriers and motor vehicles; inspect, monitor and enforce compliance with those standards; manage and deliver driver improvement and commercial vehicle safety programs; conduct leading edge research to inform policy development and guide public education and road safety marketing campaigns; improve public awareness and promote road safety; manage revenue derived from driver and vehicle products and services; focus on the customer by creating faster, smarter, more efficient products and services; and manage and protect personal information and identity. It also supports the delivery of programs for other ministries.

The program establishes policies and standards and oversees the delivery of driver and vehicle licensing, registration and other services by our government and private sector partners.

Provincial Highways Management Program - vote 2704

The Provincial Highways Management Program oversees the provincial highway network and related transportation services (including year-round highway maintenance) and protects public investments in highway infrastructure. Program management strategies are developed and implemented to maximize the effectiveness of investments in this infrastructure.

The provincial highway network provides safe mobility for people and goods, and promotes economic, environmental and social sustainability. The program delivers these activities through internal resources, partnerships and private sector service providers.

Activities include environmental assessments, investment planning, engineering, design, property acquisition, asset rehabilitation and renewal, new construction, contract oversight, corridor management (such as managing development adjacent to highways), summer and winter maintenance (such as shoulder grading / snow and ice control) for the provincial highway network, and provision of traveller information services to the motoring public. The program is also responsible for remote airports in Ontario’s Far North, ferry services in locations across the province, First Nations roads funding, road improvements in unincorporated areas, highway service centres (ONroute), and the production of the Ontario Road Map.

Note: recoveries under Capital Expense for Engineering and Construction include recoveries of $24,900,000 from the Trillium Trust, which are contingent upon a sufficient balance standing to the credit of the Trillium Trust.

Note: recoveries under Capital Assets for Transportation Infrastructure Assets include recoveries of $14,800,000 from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account, which are based on forecasts of anticipated revenues and contingent upon a sufficient balance standing to the credit of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account.

Note: recoveries under Capital Asset for Transportation Infrastructure Assets include recoveries of $54,743,500 from the Trillium Trust, which are contingent upon a sufficient balance standing to the credit of the Trillium Trust.
