      History

      The Program Analysis Office was formed in 1971 at the creation of the Ontario Department of Transportation and Communications, from the merging of the Program Analysis Section of the Ontario Department of Highways and the Office of the Program Co-ordinator of the Ontario Department of Transport. The office formed a part of the Economics Branch, until 1972, when it became part of the Economics Planning Branch. By 1973, however, the office was reporting directly to the Finance and Data Processing Division.

      In 1977, the Program Analysis Office was replaced with the Forecasting Office.
