多伦多市区交通运营研究

IBI Group was retained by the 多伦多市 to complete a downtown transportation operations study to determine what short- and long-term solutions could benefit all of Toronto’s road users and fight traffic congestion. IBI’s transportation engineers set out to create a plan that would be focused on transportation into, 的, and within the study area; committed to helping all road users; confined to the existing surface transportation infrastructure; and intended to identify short-term and medium-term solutions to traffic issues.

利益相关者协商对研究投入至关重要, and the team used a variety of methods to engage the public. A study webpage was added to the 多伦多市 website, and an online survey and interactive issues mapping portal were developed to allow the public to identify locations with recurring traffic issues in the downtown core. 这项调查收到了近4000份回复. Individual meetings were held with all Ward Councillors, 关键偏差, 会场运营商, 和市政部门.

该研究推荐了17个潜在项目, 针对所有形式的地面运输, following four general themes: coordination and communication, 交通法规和管理, 交通循环, 智能交通系统. The study also produced a framework for the evaluation of proposed future transportation projects.

IBI’s report helped inform Mayor John Tory and the 多伦多市’s #getTOmoving campaign and traffic plan 2.0、重点关注六个关键要素:
