The ATMP will help promote an integrated, sustainable and efficient transportation network for residents, businesses and commuters, as well as encourage active transportation and allow residents and visitors to travel in a safe and efficient manner. `Active Transportation' refers to any form of human-powered transportation, including walking, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding and moving with mobility devices. It's about getting to work or school, going shopping, running errands, visiting friends and family, or other trips by walking, biking or rolling. Through the implementation of the ATMP , Halton will work in partnership with its local municipalities to invest approximately $110 million to build 470 kilometres of new onroad infrastructure (i.e., bike lanes) and an additional 359 kilometres of new off-road infrastructure (i.e., sidewalks and multi-use trails) along Regional roads by the year 2031. The ATMP is designed to support policies and growth set out in the Halton Transportation Master Plan (TMP) -- the Road to Change, aimed at delivering a balanced and multi-modal transportation system serving all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians. The ATMP will provide Halton with a network of safe, well-connected and convenient routes, offer facilities that provide residents with a greater choice in how they travel and encourage physical activity. Our dedication to planning healthy and complete communities continues to be one of the reasons Halton is a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
