The TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award is given out to people, projects or activities that promote sustainable urban transportation and TAC's New Vision for Urban Transportation. In keeping with this vision, the Regional Municipality of Halton developed the Halton Transportation Master Plan: "The Region in Motion." The plan incorporated components of the New Vision for Urban Transportation, including an emphasis on more compact mixed-use urban form, less dependence on the single-occupant auto, and sustainable financing methods to implement the strategies in the plan. The purpose of the Halton Transportation Master Plan (HTMP) study was to develop a dynamic integrated transportation strategy that considered all modes of travel. The study provides the Region with the strategies, policies and tools needed to manage traffic safely, effectively and cost efficiently. This project was nominated for the 2004 TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.
