A mobility system is directly linked to quality of life and creating places and spaces that function more effectively and safely for everyone. The Transportation / Mobility Master Plan is working towards a future where everyone has safe, healthy, affordable and accessible mobility options to get where they need to go.

The Townships Objective is to develop a Comprehensive Transportation/Mobility Plan to identify alternative transit opportunities within the community and any capital requirements needed. The plan will investigate transportation nodes for higher residential density and safety strategies to promote complete, low-carbon, and climate-resilient communities while expanding transit connectivity to nearby cities.
