Summary

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) leads and manages the province’s multi-modal transportation network to provide safe, integrated, efficient, user-focused, equitable, and future-ready mobility services for the people of Ontario.

The ministry develops transportation infrastructure, policies, and programs to move people and goods safely, efficiently, and sustainably across Ontario so that all people and businesses can easily access the places, opportunities, and services that help them thrive. Through these initiatives — including maintenance, renewal, expansion and other strategic investments — MTO helps improve quality-of-life, build a healthy economy, and drive important social outcomes across Ontario.

To fulfil its mandate, the ministry works in partnership with its customers and users, agencies, other ministries, Indigenous communities, municipalities, neighbouring jurisdictions, the federal government, and other stakeholders.

Operations — Vote 2707

The Operations Program protects and maximizes public investments in transportation infrastructure through effective operations and maintenance, corridor management, and emergency management, providing for an efficient, resilient, and sustainable transportation network. The program also manages a variety of services, such as sharing traveler information, permitting for over-dimensional loads, and leading special initiatives such as the Tow Zone Program. It also oversees services at remote northern airports, ferries and highway service centres across the province.

In addition, the program manages long-term concession agreements with the 407 ETR, and provides funding for the operation of local roads in unincorporated areas, roads designated as connecting links to provincial highways, and roads in many First Nations communities. This includes working closely with local partners, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders to ensure Ontario’s transportation infrastructure meets the needs of the public.
