Oxford County is in the process of updating the Transportation Master Plan and looking for feedback.

Anyone who lives in, works in, or visits Oxford County is invited to have a say on the 2024 Transportation Master Plan by visiting Speak Up, Oxford! at www.oxfordcounty.ca/speakup. The County also welcomes input from agencies, employers and other organizations with an interest in inter-regional transportation. You can offer feedback by:

• Using the interactive map of Oxford County to mark comments on roads, trails, commercial transportation routes and other areas;
• Filling out the short feedback form to select priorities from a list of options;
• Sending a comment or email; or,
• Taking part in the first Public Consultation Centre on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. This event is an online public meeting. Registration and login details are at www.oxfordcounty.ca/2024tmp.

The Transportation Master Plan project team took part in Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show last week and will be at Ingersoll Town Council Chamber on Tuesday, September 20 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., and at Tillsonburg Ribfest on Friday, September 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Transportation Master Plan is a long-term strategic plan that lays out the County’s vision and goals for its transportation system over the next 20 years. It considers population and employment growth; evolving needs and pressures for municipal transportation systems; the needs of residents, businesses and agriculture; and opportunities presented through broader partnerships in the transportation sector.

The final recommendations and roadmap to be presented to Oxford County Council will be for a safe, effective and financially viable integrated transportation system implementation plan that maximizes the use of existing infrastructure while developing, promoting and integrating within regional networks.
