Message from the Director Steve Fantin
We continue to engage and listen to the community, taking into consideration their experiences on our road network and specifically in their neighborhoods. Through our corridor reviews on Huntington Road and Martin Grove Road, we are integrating community feedback along with our data to form recommendations that can be applied to the road network to accommodate all modes of transportation and mobility. The Fleet Services team has collaborated with our internal stakeholders to procure new vehicles and reduce downtime, which enables us to maintain our service levels, and enhance the City’s brand in our community. In parallel with this, the team continues to acquire “green” vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas and do our part in protecting the environment. Lastly, our Roads Operations team continues to provide Service Excellence by keeping our roads safe and clean through all the seasons and by providing timely, professional and solution-oriented responses to our residents. I could not be prouder of the team’s accomplishments this past year, and I look forward to another exciting year of positive change and growth in 2025! Steve Fantin Director, Transportation and Fleet Management Services
Looking back, 2024 has been another remarkable year of growth and positive change as we continue to support the community’s needs. The success with Transportation and Fleet Management Services was not accomplished in isolation, but in collaboration with both the entire Public Works team and the various internal partners across the City. This truly demonstrates how powerful we are when work together and act as one! Equally important is our connection to the community, as we continue to not only deliver best in class service, but we strive to be responsive to resident questions and engage them for their feedback as we introduce changes. Road safety is paramount and at the centre of our business, ensuring residents can travel safely in our community. In support of this, as part of our MoveSmart Strategy, a toolbox of traffic calming measures has been introduced, which allows us to implement a range of safety tools that are designed to meet location-specific needs. These measures will be complemented through the implementation of the City’s Automated Speed Enforcement Program in early 2025. These are all game changers, and the combination of these measures will help promote safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists and all roads users across the city.
