The Transportation Master Plan is a comprehensive strategic plan that will support how people will travel in Richmond Hill over the next 30 years. The TMP establishes the City’s goals for all types of travel within the community, for current and future residents, whether they walk, bike, drive or take public transit. Its focus is on improving active modes of transportation and building better connections within the city through road improvements, new sidewalks, trails, cycling facilities, traffic signals and crossings.

The TMP was developed following the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment master planning process and with input from the community through extensive public consultation. Thank you to all those who participated and provided feedback.

The City plans to invest in increasing accessible, safe and sustainable transportation infrastructure within Richmond Hill, to accommodate the evolving needs of travelers and emerging technologies over the next 30 years. These include:

• Expanding and enhancing the active transportation (e.g. walking and cycling) and off-road trail network
• Planning for better publics roads that improve safety, connections from neighbourhoods, and ease of travel
• Advocating for Regional and Provincial transit and infrastructure investments in Richmond Hill
• Developing policies, strategies and programs that promote safe and sustainable modes of travel to meet changing demands

This notice of completion places the Transportation Master Plan on public record for a 30-day review period beginning December 13, 2023. For more information and to view the Transportation Master Plan, visit RichmondHill.ca/MovingRH.
