  • Transportation & Mapping Project
    TRANSPORTATION & MAPPING PROJECT As a part of its comprehensive strategy to promote and support the local workforce, Workforce WindsorEssex has conducted a series of reports which target employment barriers for unique populations (such as youth or newcomers) in concert with possible solutions. This report examines the impact of transportation barriers which may impact on persons who are unemployed or underemployed in Windsor-Essex. The objective of this brochure is to provide data regarding where the jobs are being posted throughout Windsor and Essex County, where those employers are located in relation to current public transit routes, and to explore existing or innovative community-led solutions which may help address transportation barriers to employment. Windsor and Essex County covers an area of 1,851 km² and encompasses nine municipalities. Among residents who do not have access to a vehicle, limitations of public transit both within municipalities in Essex County and as a regional transportation network, have been cited as a barrier to employment1. As a means to further explore the connection between the possible need for expanded municipal and regional transportation networks and enhanced opportunities for employment, Workforce WindsorEssex undertook a mapping exercise intended to layer job postings throughout the region by employer postal code, number of potential jobseekers in the region, and availability of public transportation. In the following maps, each clustered pie graph on the map represents job postings with the size of the pie graph depicting the volume of job postings for that 6-digit postal code and each piece of the pie graph representing an employer at that postal code.

The budget proposes a tax levy of $100.9 million dollars to provide funding for the daily business of Norfolk County, and its boards and agencies. A number of service level Options have been proposed for the Budget Committee’s consideration. These options outline creative ideas that support Norfolk County in moving forward strategically and efficiently with long-term financial sustainability in the forefront. If the budget is approved as presented, this will result in an average residential tax impact of 8.4%, which equates to an average monthly tax increase of $19.53 (based on an average household assessed value of $240,000). Discussion: Section 290 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 requires that each year local municipalities prepare and adopt estimates for the purposes of operating the municipality including amounts sufficient to pay all debts falling due within the year, and amounts required for any board, commission or other body. Preparing and adopting annual budget estimates determines Norfolk County’s revenue requirements that will need to be collected through taxation and user rates. The Levy Supported Operating Budget is the final of four annual budgets presented to the Budget Committee for review and adoption.
