Transportation Master Plan
What is Moving Forward? |
Moving Forward is the Region of Waterloo's Transportation Master Plan (TMP) which was approved by Regional Council June 27, 2018. Moving Forward is a strategic plan which identifies the policies and projects that will meet the Region's long and short term transportation needs over the next 25 years. These include how and where to invest in Regional road improvements, traffic controls, public transit services, and cycling and walking facilities. It also includes strategies to manage both ongoing travel demands, and the necessary accommodations required by evolving transportation technologies. Moving Forward also addresses transportation needs related to provincial highways within the Region, travel to and from the Region, emerging transportation trends, and passenger rail service.

As the Cities continue to update their TMP’s in the future, they will also be based on Moving Forward.
