The Transportation Master Plan is a strategic document designed to define the policies, programs and infrastructure required to plan for future transportation needs.
Durham’s original plan was approved in 2003, but only outlines for growth until 2021.
Therefore, regional council has determined that the plan requires updating.
According a media release, the update addresses all modes of transportation including walking, cycling, transit, automobiles and goods and services, while enhancing safety, promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental impacts.
