Origin
Summary
The purpose of this document is to report on the status of the Congestion Management Plan (2014-2018) and to request City Council's endorsement of an updated Congested Management Plan (2016-2020).
The Congestion Management Plan (2014-2018) which was unanimously adopted by City Council at its meeting of December 16-18, 2013, has resulted in improved management of traffic congestion on Toronto's streets and expressways. This has been achieved through the expanded use of existing and new technologies, operation enhancements as well as increased enforcement and information sharing.
In 2016, the Transportation Services Division will build on the successes of those activities initiated in 2014 and 2015, and plan for those activities to be undertaken within the next five years. In this respect, Transportation Services has updated, refined and enhanced the City of Toronto Congestion Management Plan (CMP) for the period of 2016 to 2020. Some the new initiatives in the CMP Update (2016-2020) include:
- Expanded traffic monitoring and management to mitigate congestion;
- Expanded communication of traveller information;
- 'Big Data' Traffic Management
- Connected / Autonomous Vehicle Preparedness
- Expanded Bicycle Network and New Bicycle Detection Technologies;
- More resilient systems infrastructure to ensure continuous operations; and
- Travel Demand Management
