History
The Planning Division continued the highway planning function of the former Planning Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways, but with a wider mandate over other modes of transportation. During its existence the division consisted of the Systems Planning Branch, the Environmental and Operation Planning Branch (later renamed Project Planning Branch), the General Aviation Office (1972- 1973), and the Economic Policy Office (1974-1976).
The Executive Director of the Planning Division reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Planning, Research and Communications in fiscal year 1971-1973; the Assistant Deputy Minister of Planning, Research and Development in fiscal year 1973-1974; the Assistant Deputy Minister of Planning and Design in fiscal year 1974-1975; and to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Planning and Research in fiscal year 1975-1976.
In 1976, the Division was replaced with the Planning and Development Division.
