The City of Brampton is updating the current 2015 Transportation Master Plan. The revised Mobility Plan will guide City investment in transportation infrastructure over the coming years. The Plan will move the City towards the 2040 Vision to be “a mosaic of safe, integrated transportation choices and new modes, contributing to civic sustainability, and emphasizing walking, cycling, and transit.”
Did You Know?
- Transportation trips in Brampton nearly doubled from 1996 to 2015 from 480,000 to 880,000,
- Travel to and from work represents 64.8% of all travel trips in the City,
- 78% of Brampton’s transportation trips end in either Brampton or Mississauga. Only 22% travel outside of Peel Region!
- For work only trips 62% end in either Brampton or Mississauga while only 38% travel to areas outside of Peel Region.
- Currently 86% of travel trips are made by personal vehicle, (car, SUV, pick-up, etc), while only 14% use walking, cycling or transit.
- 48% (426,000) of these trips are short trips of less than 5 kilometers. Only 13% of these short trips are made by active modes.
- Only 1% of trips between 3 and 5 kilometers are made by active modes.
- A 5km bike ride takes less than 20 minutes.
- Shifting even a portion of these short trips to active modes could take about 100,000 cars off the roads in Brampton each day. Imagine what that would do for pollution and traffic congestion!

- Improve environmental sustainability,
