Transportation Master Plan

A blueprint for future transportation improvements in Oakville with an emphasis on building a more walkable, cycleable and transit-friendly community.

A Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is a document that creates a long-term vision for a community. A TMP provides recommendations for guidelines, policies, programs and infrastructure improvements.

Oakville’s current TMP looks at all modes of transportation including public transit, active transportation and ride-sharing along with strategic roadway improvements to ensure the safe, convenient and efficient movement of people and goods.

Updates underway in 2025

The Town is undertaking a new study which will serve as an update to the 2018 Transportation Master Plan and 2017 Active Transportation Master Plan. The process will use the Urban Mobility and Transportation Study as lens to develop a new plan to accommodate growth to 2051. The TMP will be completed in 2025.

The updated TMP will focus on building walkable, cycle and transit friendly neighbourhoods integrated with accessible transportation choices for all residents. The TMP will recommend a comprehensive, updated set of guidelines to enhance the Town’s transportation system to address the needs of all stakeholders and establish a path forward for all modes of transportation to support Oakville’s vision to be a vibrant and livable community for all.
