In 1996 responsibility for intergovernmental and municipal policy was transferred to the newly created Municipal and Intergovernmental Policy Branch and Corporate Policy merged with the Communications Branch to form the Corporate Policy and Communications Branch.

The Corporate Policy Branch was responsible for fostering the development of strategic directions for implementation across the Ministry and providing policy advice and support on corporate-wide initiatives to the Minister, Deputy Miinister and members of the Ministry of Tranportation's (MTP's) Senior Executive. It provided overall liaison with Cabinet Office, central agencies and other ministries on Ministry and government policy matters and provided policy related advice and information to other ministries and outside groups.

The Branch coordinated inter-governmental relationships between Ontario and other provinces, neighbouring states and the federal government on transportation-related issues and policies and promoted research and development and partnerships to facilitate new transportation projects.

The Branch was responsibile for special corporate-wide projects, such as the Ministry of Transportation's involvement with the Environmental Bill of Rights and Ontario Round Table on the Environment and Economy.
