The County of Elgin is developing a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to shape the future of its transportation network. Stay informed and help shape the creation of a multi-modal system that efficiently moves people and goods using various transportation methods.

The TMP will span 30 years while focusing on vehicular infrastructure, active transportation (cycling), and transit options while coordinating with the ongoing Elgin County Official Plan update.

The study began in 2021, with the original Phase 1 report being completed in 2022, identifying needs and opportunities.

However, significant regional developments led to a pause until their impacts were better understood. The study resumed in the fall of 2024 with the TMP Phase 2 & 3 Draft Report - Multimodal Network Development and Public Information Centre (PIC) 2 - Static Information Boards for public engagement.

The following video provides an overview of the TMP project:

The Transportation Master Plan has now moved to the final phase, Phase 4: Prepare Transportation Master Plan.

The TMP Final Draft Summary Report was adopted by County Council on December 11, 2025. A final 30-day review period (as per the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process) will be open from December 12, 2025 - January 16, 2026.

After reviewing the TMP Final Draft Summary Report, if you have any comments and/or questions about the recommendations, please do so below through the "Ask a Question/Provide a Comment" section.

We value your input as we continue to move the TMP along to help achieve the County’s transportation vision and goals through the horizon year of 2054.
