History
The Systems Planning Branch was formed within the Ontario Department of Transportation and Communications in 1971, continuing the some of the functions and activities formerly carried out by the Traffic and Transportation Planning Studies Office.
The branch formed part of the Planning Division, and was comprised of four offices: Area Transportation Systems, Urban Transportation Planning (later Municipal Planning), Systems Planning Services, and Systems Priority Development. In 1974 the latter two offices were combined into one called the Systems Analysis Office.
In a 1976 reorganization of the Planning Division into the Planning and Development Division, the functions of the Systems Planning Branch were continued by the Urban and Regional Transportation Planning Office.
