Traffic Services The Traffic Services department oversees the safe and efficient flow of both pedestrian and vehicle traffic throughout the City’s streets. The division is responsible for traffic operations and road safety, maintaining pavement markings, managing traffic signal operations and maintenance, maintaining streetlights, administering the school crossing guard program, co-ordinating utility and road permits, and leading special projects as part of the MoveSmart Strategy . The MoveSmart initiative focuses on enhancing transportation through four programs: 1. The Road Safety program aims to improve road safety by fostering collaboration among stakeholders, using data-driven approaches and raising public awareness. 2. The Sustainable Mobility program promotes active and sustainable transportation options, prioritizing safety and expanding pedestrian and cycling networks. 3. The Mobility Management program modernizes traffic signal systems to improve efficiency and ensure safe movement for all road users.
4. Lastly, the Traffic Data Management program emphasizes accurate, up-to-date traffic data to support evidence-based decision-making and ongoing system performance monitoring. As part of this effort, a total of 900 traffic data collection counts have been completed city-wide. Together, these programs connect people, places and communities.
