The Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study is a joint study between the Region of Peel, Halton Region, City of Brampton, Town of Caledon, and the Town of Halton Hills. The study has been initiated to identify the long-term (2021 and 2031) transportation network required to support provincial and inter-municipal planning goals, and to serve future transportation demands within the Study Area (see map below).

Specific goals and objectives of the Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study are to:

• Support current and future municipal planning objectives by providing transportation capacity to accommodate future travel demands generated by planned growth in west Brampton and Halton Hills.
• Develop a coordinated interconnected roadway network system along the Halton/Peel boundary.
• Identify opportunities for transportation mode choices, including public transit, carpooling/vanpooling, and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes across the study area.
• Identify solutions to serve long-distance truck traffic travelling in the study area between Halton Region and Peel Region.
• Identify improvements that will serve inter-regional traffic including longer-distance, cross-boundary traffic from Halton Region (and areas west of Halton Region), travelling through west Brampton and southwest Caledon to destinations to the south and east in Peel Region, York Region, and Toronto.
• Review potential to improve connections with the existing Provincial 400-series highway network and possible future Provincial transportation facilities including the GTA West Corridor Planning and Environmental Assessment Study in support of the Province’s growth objectives as set out in the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
• Explore opportunities to reduce dependency on the automobile through Travel Demand Management (TDM)/transit supportive measures.

This Notice first issued on April 11, 2007

This notice signals the commencement of the Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study. This joint study will be carried out through an open public process in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process (MEA, 2000) which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act, so that the study results can serve as direct input to any subsequent EA studies that may be deemed appropriate. The Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study will define problems and opportunities, consider and evaluate alternative solutions, and identify an optimum transportation system along the Halton/Peel boundary.

A key component of the study will be consultation with both stakeholders and the general public through stakeholder group workshops and public information centres (PICs). These will be held at key points during the study and will provide opportunities for input into the study and the presentation of study findings to date, by the Steering Committee.
