The Town of Milton has officially finalized its updated Transportation Master Plan (TMP), a long-term strategy that sets the course for how residents and goods will move around the community through to 2051.
The comprehensive plan addresses transportation needs across walking, biking, driving, and transit, ensuring Milton’s infrastructure keeps pace with its rapid growth.
Originally endorsed by Town Council in December, the TMP Update underwent a 30-day public review period that concluded on January 31st. Community feedback was carefully reviewed, leading to adjustments before the final version was published online.
“The TMP Update creates a vision for our transportation future that is proactive, accessible, sustainable, and inclusive of all modes of travel,” says Jill Hogan, Commissioner of Development Services. “Thank you to everyone who contributed insights to this important plan.”
Among its key recommendations, the TMP outlines priorities like upgrading infrastructure, improving intersections and rural roads, supporting two-way all-day GO service expansion, and implementing smart parking and carpooling incentives. The plan also calls for the development of a road safety strategy and policies aimed at reducing single-occupant vehicle use.
“As Milton evolves, we want to work with our partners to help people and goods move efficiently,” adds Mayor Gord Krantz. “This vision will help us make collaborative decisions that support urban and rural areas to meet the future needs of our growing community.”
The Town will refine and prioritize specific projects and studies through its annual budget process, keeping sustainability and accessibility at the core of its transportation future.
