Peel's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)

The development of the Peel Region Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) started in late 2002 as part of the Regional Official Plan Strategic Update (ROPSU).

This study:

• Named and addressed transportation challenges anticipated by the Region over the next 20-30 years.
• Resulted in the development of policies, strategies and a road improvement plan to address these challenges.
• Provided an overall vision and model that allowed all levels of government - as well as the private sector - address transportation challenges in Peel.

Long Range Transportation Plan studies

The LRTP was developed from the findings of these 4 studies (as well as previous Regional and area municipal transportation planning analyses):

• Transportation Demand Management
• Goods Movement Study in Peel
• Caledon Transportation Needs Study
• Transportation for Persons with Disabilities

Each these studies included research, analysis, study of best practices, and consultations with groups and organizations that could be affected by the plan.

Long Range Transportation Plan components

The main components of the LRTP include:

1. A Regional road network plan and Regional road improvements required by 2011, 2021 and 2031.
2. The Region's Transportation Vision, Goals, Objectives and Policies, which provide a framework for developing and coordinating future actions and programs to improve transportation in Peel.
3. A list of provincial highway and GO Transit improvements to meet future Regional needs.

The LRTP is the foundation for Regional Official Plan Amendment 16 (ROPA 16) which amends:

• The Regional Official Plan objectives and policies
• Schedule E (Major Street Network) (1 page, 731 KB)
• Schedule F (Right-of-way Requirements) (1 page, 671 KB)
• Schedule G (High Order Transit Network) (1 page, 623 KB)
