The AcceleRide bus rapid transit initiative evolved from the recommendations of Brampton's Transportation & Transit Master Plan (TTMP), approved in October 2004. The TTMP defines a long-term, 30-year balanced transportation strategy for managing the implementation of a transportation network that meets the demands of projected population and employment growth, with an emphasis on enhancing the role of transit. An important element of the TTMP is a Strategic Transit Framework that proposes the implementation of high-order transit services along major corridors to sustainable travel demand management. This project was nominated for the 2004 TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.
