      Historique

      During the 2000s, the Ministry of Transportation began to re-engage in municipal and regional transit issues from which it had pulled back in the 1990s. The Transit Policy Branch was established during the 2007-2008 fiscal year. The branch initially consisted of four sections: the Provincial Transit Policy Office, Regional Transit Policy Office, Transit Infrastructure Policy Office, and Transit Procurement Office. In 2011-2012, the Transit Procurement Office was removed from the branch and transferred to Metrolinx. In 2013-2014, the Provincial Transit Policy Office became the Municipal Transit Policy Office, and the Regional Transit Policy Office became the GTHA Transit Policy Office. The structure remained the same until 2015-2016, when the Transit Programs Office was added. By March of 2019, a simpler structure with a smaller staff complement was in place, consisting of two offices: the Provincial Transit Policy Office and the Transit Infrastructure Policy Office. The Transit Programs Office was moved to become part of the Strategic Investments and Programs Branch.

      Fonctions et activités

      The Transit Policy Branch, in consultation with Metrolinx, municipalities, and other stakeholders, develops policies and strategies to optimize transit in Ontario. Areas of focus include transit planning policy, economic analysis, regional transit integration, municipal transit, and multi-modal transportation. The branch also works with Metrolinx, partner ministries, and other levels of government to develop and implement policies and strategies which support the delivery of provincially funded transit projects, including an emphasis on transit funding and cost-sharing.

      The Branch was also responsible during certain years for providing administration and oversight of transfer payment agreements as well as managing the ministry's relationship with Metrolinx, and providing overall business planning and budget support. These responsibilities were carried out by the Transit Programs Office.
