Transport Action Ontario wrote a letter to the Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Innovation stating that we believe that Ontario is facing a serious mobility crisis that seriously undermines private and public initiatives aimed at sustaining and growing Ontario’s industrial base. We urged the Ministry and the Ontario Jobs and Prosperity Council to work with other provincial ministries and other levels of government to focus on our province’s mobility crisis, especially in the areas of public transportation.

In July, 2012, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation released a consultation document on a proposed multimodal goods movement strategy for Ontario. It provided the context for action on goods movement in Ontario, a summary of the various transportation modes, system-wide strengths and challenges, and proposed 20 year vision and objectives. It posed several questions for respondents to answer.
Transport Action Ontario submitted comments to the Ministry in September, 2012, focussing largely on the opportunities for rail. The comments can be read here:
