Downtown Transportation Operations Study

The City of Toronto is currently undertaking a study of downtown transportation operations. The purpose of the DTOS is to identify and address congestion and traffic operations issues in downtown Toronto. The study will develop near–to–medium term improvements to the existing surface transportation network that will help to achieve safe and efficient transportation in the downtown.

The survey component is designed to collect information about road user behaviours. The DTOS is:

• Focused on transportation into, out of, and within the study area.
• Committed to helping all road users.
• Based on the existing surface transportation network.
• Intent on identifying near-term and medium-term solutions to operational issues.
