Transportation Master Plan Typical Approach Mississauga Approach Typical Class EA approach to a City-wide TMP is not practical for a built-out municipality that needs to retro-fit the road network to be multi-modal • 2031 Time Horizon Analysis • 2031 Time Horizon • Vision, Goals, Principles • Provides the basis for how transportation funding is spent • Multi-modal approach to issues • Uses Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Guidelines • Best practices, policies, and programs • Uses traditional strategic transportation modeling tools • Micro-simulation and detailed analysis
2031 Network Conditions Driving Factors 2031 Percentage Increase In GTHA Population Growth • Significant growth surrounding Mississauga • Increase in 905-to-905 travel patterns • Increasing traffic outside the traditional morning and evening rush hour periods
Transportation In the GTHA If Current Trends Continue……… • Average time spent commuting will increase from 82 minutes to 109 minutes • Travel time by car from Hamilton to Downtown Toronto will take approximately 3 hours • Annual cost of congestion to the GTHA economy will increase from $2.7 billion to $7.2 billion Source: Ontario Ministry of Transportation GGH Transportation Model, Metrolinx “The Big Move”
