History
The Transportation Programs Division in the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications was formed in 1980. The division assumed the administration of the Transit Office, Aviation Office, and Municipal Roads Office from the Planning and Development Division. The newly created Rail Office and Marine and Pipeline Office were also placed under the division.
Throughout its existence this agency reported directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Provincial/Municipal Transportation. In 1981 the Transportation Programs Division ceased to exist, and the Assistant Deputy Minister became directly responsible for the Rail Office, Marine and Pipeline Office, and the Aviation Office. The Municipal Roads Office and the Transit Office were moved to the newly established Municipal Transportation Division.

The agency helped the Ministry of Transportation and Communications identify the province’s transportation needs. Where federal jurisdiction was involved, this division was responsible for ensuring that the province’s viewpoint was presented.
