Notice of Study Completion for the 2024 Transportation Master Plan

Purpose

Oxford County has initiated a 2024 update of its current 2019 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TMP is a long-term strategic transportation planning document that lays out the County’s vision and goals for its transportation system over the next 20 years. The TMP will consider population and employment growth in the County, accommodation of future transportation conditions while also considering sustainable and multi-modal transportation solutions, and specific needs of the County including people and goods movement along with agricultural mobility.

Scope

Key objectives of the 2024 TMP update include:

• assessment of existing and future transportation network conditions and performance with consideration of travel demands and patterns.
• identification of transportation system needs and development of policies to address them; and,
• the of a safe, effective, and financially viable integrated transportation system implementation plan that maximizes the use of existing County infrastructure and promotes regional connectivity.

Final Draft 2024 Transportation Master Plan available for review 

The Final Draft 2024 Transportation Master Plan goes before Oxford County Council on October 11, 2023. At Council's request, on July 12, 2023, the draft plan was posted for an additional 75-day informal comment before moving to the final approval stage.

Under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for Master Plans, this last stage includes a final 30-day public review period before the document is accepted as the final 2024 Transportation Master Plan.

The draft plan lays out Oxford County’s strategic roadmap for multi-modal transportation infrastructure and services through to 2046. Through various studies, research, data collections, and two extensive public consultation phases started in 2022, the draft plan puts forward strategies to address existing and future needs for:

• the County’s road network;
• active transportation, for instance cycling and pedestrian routes;
• goods movement, such as rail freight, trucking, etc.;
• people movement, e.g., commuting infrastructure; and,
• transportation system sustainability and new technologies, such as electric or autonomous vehicles.

Although it considers a more than 20-year window for action, the master plan is intended to be revisited and updated on a five-year schedule.
