Origin Following successful applications to the Community Transportation Grant and Ontario Gas Tax funding programs, the Five Year Transportation Needs Assessment and Growth and Sustainability Plan project was initiated with the goal of creating a community transportation network that effectively serves Muskoka, with a focus on vulnerable residents. To that end and to ensure the available funding is spent efficiently, an external consultant was retained to assess transportation needs and challenges and to recommend solutions. The project is now at the point where the consultant is seeking additional feedback from stakeholders and the Community and Planning Services (CPS) Committee on potential transportation options before finalizing their report and recommendations. Background information can be found in Report CPS-11-2019-7, and a summary of transportation funding sources currently being received by The District Municipality of Muskoka (the District) is included in Appendix “I”. Background Funding in the amount of $674,382 was secured through a Community Transportation Grant from the Ministry of Transportation. Total funding for community transportation initiatives also includes Provincial Gas Tax Funds and District contributions. The Community Transportation Grant is to be flowed from 2019-2023, and the other funding sources may vary annually depending on a variety of factors but are anticipated to be approximately $110,600 per year.
