Origin

(October 24, 2019) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The purpose of this report is to provide a status update for projects being undertaken as part of the Congestion Management Plan (the 'CMP'). The City of Toronto’s CMP objectives are to better manage congestion (e.g. reduce delays and the number of stops) and improve safety through innovations in policy, operations and technology that will maximize the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of the road network for all users while reducing the impacts on the environment.

 

The overall vision of the CMP is: Through innovation and technology maximize the safety, efficiency, reliability and sustainability of the transportation network for all users while reducing the impact on the environment.

 

To accomplish this vision, the CMP is comprised of a series of projects to be completed over a multi-year period (currently scheduled 2016-2020), covering nine key focus areas. As part of the program mandate, City Council has directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the status of the CMP on a regular basis.

 

This report provides a status overview for the various projects within the Congestion Management Plan. Attachment 1 summarizes these projects and their planned completion dates. Attachment 2 provides an overview of Congestion Management Plan accomplishments that have been delivered since the start of the program in 2014 (inclusive of those completed in the review period).

 

It should be noted that the projects described in this report do not represent the total number of projects within the CMP, as there are a number of projects that are not scheduled to start until future years (i.e. 2020 and 2021).
