History
The Highway Program Development Branch was established within the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications in 1980, replacing the Priority Development Branch. It also seems to have absorbed the functions of the Provincial Roads Planning Office.
The branch consisted of two offices - Highway Program Planning and Highway Program Administration - and reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Provincial Highways.
In 1982, the Highway Program Development Branch was replaced by the Transportation Capital Branch.
