Transportation Master Plan Update

Moving in the right direction
Ottawa has grown into a city of one million residents. Over the next 25 years, that number is expected to grow to more than 1.4 million. With that kind of growth, we need to revisit how people, vehicles and goods move through our city.
As we update the Transportation Master Plan, we have important decisions to make as individuals and as a city. While some might be easy, others will require more thought. We need to have thoughtful and meaningful discussions to ensure Ottawa becomes the most liveable mid-sized city in North America.
Transportation decisions affect all of Ottawa’s residents and businesses. No matter if you walk, drive, cycle, bus, take the light rail transit or scoot, whether you ship products or have them delivered, or whether you own or share a car, how people and goods move through the city affects you. All the choices we make moving forward will require some give and take. Tell us what’s important to you and how our transportation system can move us in the right direction for decades to come.
Stay involved!

Click here to play video Transportation Master Plan Update – Phase 2 The City of Ottawa is updating the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to review the ways in which people, vehicles and goods move through our city – and how this can be achieved responsibly and sustainably for all. Closely tied to the TMP Update is Ottawa’s Active Transportation Plan, a new plan that will combine the Ottawa Pedestrian Plan and the Ottawa Cycling Plan into one and guide the policies and actions for the development of the city’s pedestrian and cycling network. Starting the week of September 21 and until October 23, 2020, the public is invited to fill out an online questionnaire as part of the Phase 2 of public engagement for the TMP Update. For this phase of engagement, the public is invited to provide input on: the Active Transportation Plan; what a fair and equitable transportation system looks like; and, new technologies that could change the way we move around the city.
