2 2 What is a Transportation Master Plan? Regina s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will be a comprehensive and multi-modal transportation policy and planning document to guide the city s policies and strategies for all modes - driving, transit, walking, and cycling - over the next 25 years. Why Now? Regina s last major Transportation Plan was developed in 1991 and primarily focused on the road network and transit. It was updated in 2001, but it is now time for a comprehensive new plan which is multimodal and reflects modern transportation planning best-practices and the renewed Connection to Design Regina The TMP is a key component towards the development of the City s new Official Community Plan, Design Regina. Both plans will shape how we experience and live in our city. Developing both plans concurrently provides a solid foundation for the future. vision for our city in Design Regina.

3 3 Building the Plan The Transportation Master Plan will be developed over the next year as part of a three stage approach: STAG ON - Baseline Analysis (Completed in 2011) Stage One of the TMP established baseline conditions of Regina s transportation system. It included technical analysis of existing transportation conditions, identification of issues and opportunities, and potential approaches to travel demand management for consideration in the TMP. STAG TWO - Plan Development (February 2012 to spring 2013) Stage Two is where transportation network strategies, policies, and alternatives will be developed, tested, and incorporated into the Transportation Master Plan. It will explore and test different growth options along with Design Regina and develop the policies and plans needed to support a sustainable, multi-modal Regina that supports the Design Regina Community Priorities and City Vision. STAG ThR - Plan Approval (Spring and Summer 2013) Stage Three will present the recommended plan and implementation strategies to guide decision making, including high level timelines and estimated costs. Public and stakeholder input on the recommended plan will be sought prior to City Council approval of the final plan.
