The Region of Peel's plan for sustainable transportation is moving forward thanks to an investment of more than $1.5 million from the Government of Canada and the Regional Municipality of Peel. Announced by Minister Fraser and Nando Iannicca, Peel Regional Chair this project will support Peel Region's 2051 Transportation Master Plan.
As part of Peel Region's 2051 Transportation Master Plan, sustainable transportation planning will identify gaps and barriers in the Region's active transportation network and recommend infrastructure solutions that support future growth to 2051. Building on Peel's current goal to shift 50% of travel to sustainable modes such as walking, cycling, and taking transit, the plan for sustainable transportation will play a key role in providing multi-modal travel options to residents, and building healthy communities in Peel.
Funding announced today contributes to Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by supporting planning and engagement activities that will help expand networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges.
