Transportation Master Plan: 2050 will provide the long-term vision for transportation in Winnipeg, and the methods and means to move our city and people into the future. Through a combination of technical research, data analysis, and public and stakeholder engagement, TMP2050 will help ensure our transportation system supports quality of life and economic vitality for years to come.
Background
The City of Winnipeg Charter requires that its municipal development plan be reviewed and re-adopted/replaced every five years. City Council is responsible for approving the plan, referred to OurWinnipeg, along with its subsidiary plans, policies, strategies, guidelines, programs, and actions.
The Transportation Master Plan (last updated in 2011) is one of these subsidiary plans. We are currently in the process of reviewing and updating it, and are undertaking a largescale, multi-component study that involves in-depth, evidence-based research and analysis, as well as extensive public and stakeholder engagement.
Transportation Master Plan: 2050 (TMP2050) will provide the long-term vision for transportation in Winnipeg, and the framework to move our city and people into the future. Through a combination of technical research, data analysis, and public and stakeholder engagement, TMP2050 will help ensure our transportation system supports quality of life and economic vitality for years to come.
The TMP2050 study will result in an action plan that includes recommendations on challenges and opportunities relating to existing and future: infrastructure; public rights-of-way; public services such as transit, parking, and traffic management; rules and regulations; and human behaviours.
The study will focus on eight areas we know are important to Winnipeggers:
Transportation and land-use: Reinforce the critical link between transportation and land use, and ensure the continued alignment of various City planning documents.
Environmental sustainability: Facilitate an understanding of the impact of the current transportation network on the ecosystem (land, water and air) and advance low carbon pathway mobility options such as walking, cycling, transit, rideshare, carpool, and electric vehicles as described in the Winnipeg Climate Action Plan.
Equity & inclusiveness: Apply an equity lens to address potential systemic barriers and inequities in transportation for vulnerable and under-served populations (i.e. – elderly, single parents, low-income families and users of mobility devices). Maximize accessibility and mobility on multi-modes for all users regardless of age, ability or income.
Economic development: Support development or redevelopment of major node areas with emphasis on efficient goods transportation for business and industry.
Strategic approach: Establish a framework with realistic and quantitative planning objectives for emerging technologies and business models such as the electrification of transportation, automated vehicles, shared mobility, and mobility services on demand.
Mode choice: Identify barriers to use and strategies to increase walking, cycling, transit, ridesharing and carpooling in an effort to reduce high levels of single-occupant automobile use.
Transportation demand: Identify a range of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) tools that include but are not limited to use of new transportation technologies, land development review and approvals, user pricing, and program incentives.
Transportation supply: Identify means to maximize multi-modal capacity of current infrastructure and improve level of service. The goal Is not about reducing travel times, rather about making sure that as many people as possible have freedom of mobility and can get to work, medical appointments, shopping, school, recreational and other activities safely and effectively.
To gather both anecdotal and technical information on these focus areas, the City of Winnipeg (City) is conducting a series of component studies that form the overarching TMP2050.
Core Framework Examine, define and summarize the current conditions of Winnipeg’s vast transportation network. Develop detailed reports of traffic patterns, trends, and forecasts that will determine the future state, and make recommendations on how to improve the overall network.
Goods Movement Focus specifically on how goods move within and through our city, whether by truck, rail, delivery vehicle or other means. Develop detailed database of urban goods movement within Winnipeg and the surrounding region. Facilitate modelling scenarios including within the downtown, the overall city and the surrounding region.
Regional Transportation Look at how the transportation network is impacted by a recent influx of daily traffic from outside the Perimeter. Develop scenarios about current and future impacts of commuting on the city’s transportation system, including potential for mode split. Facilitate an understanding of regional land use planning and transportation system planning.
Emerging Technologies & Future of Transportation Look at how technology is changing how people move around cities, and what role that could play in future planning. Investigate and explain developments and trends with autonomous vehicles, inter-vehicular communication, ride sharing, park and ride systems, active transportation, intelligent transportation systems, and electric vehicles. Detail potential impacts of technology, scenarios and opportunities for Winnipeg’s future transportation system.
Active Transportation Review and analyze progress made on walking and cycling objectives since the implementation of the 2015 Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy. Update the PCS and make recommendations to the active transportation component as part of the overall Transportation Master Plan.
Non-capital Intensive Transportation Options Undertake a detailed analysis of traffic demand management and operations, including: parking; transit planning and operations; ride sharing; vehicles for hire; goods delivery and management; and active transportation. Strategize short-term projects that could improve the transportation network without significant capital investment.
Each of these component studies will result in its own final report (with recommendations); these reports will each form a chapter of the final TMP2050 plan document. That document will ultimately address six strategic priorities set forth in OurWinnipeg (2011):

Thank you to everyone who took time to share feedback during Phase 1 of the Transportation Master Plan: 2050.
You helped the project team understand how Winnipeggers view the city’s transportation network, as well as how they use it, where they are challenged, and in what broad areas they would like to see improvements.
This feedback is critical to helping us understand the current state of the transportation network, as well as how to plan for a transportation system that is sustainable, equitable, and most of all, serves the people of Winnipeg.
Most notably, Phase 1 told us:
What Winnipeggers value most and where we have common ground
What motivates our transportation choices
What we are most concerned about
Top Values:
Safety
Reliability
Current use:
By car (driver or passenger) - 83% of Winnipeggers use always/often
On foot (or with mobility device) – 24% of Winnipeggers use always/often
By bus (including Winnipeg Transit Plus) – 11% of Winnipeggers use always/often
By bike – 6% of Winnipeggers use always/often
Barriers:
Transportation network maintenance
Safety outside a vehicle
Efficient use of time
A comprehensive explanation of results is available in the public engagement summaryand public engagement report. These are the ‘what we heard’ reports. The ‘what we did with what we heard’ sections will be provided in Phase 2.
This input, combined with findings from the technical process, is being used to create options and opportunities. The Current State Report and summary focuses on contextualizing the four key components of the city’s transportation network components as well as the outside factors that most influence how Winnipeggers use the network. It primarily looks at: roadways, goods movement, active transportation and transit. It also touches on emerging technologies and future spatial requirements for all roadway users.
Phase 2 public engagement is planned to launch in fall 2021. The project team will share strategies to reach Winnipeg’s long-term vision for transportation and your feedback will help us answer the question: How do we get where we’re going?

Thank you to everyone who has taken time to provide feedback! In Phase 1 (November 10 to December 11, 2020) we heard a lot of important feedback; receiving 767 online surveys; 414 pins on the online map; three completed discussion kits; heard from 157 Winnipeggers through 18 virtual meetings with our Neighbourhood Advisory Groups and Interest Specific Advisory Groups and talked with 60 participants at our online panel and discussion events.
This winter, the project team will review and a summary of the engagement process will be posted online. Phase 2 public engagement will start in Spring 2021 to gather feedback on strategies, tradeoffs, and evaluation of success.

We want you to help us shape the future of Winnipeg’s transportation network!
Public engagement on Transportation Master Plan 2050 (TMP2050) is now underway.
Our public engagement goals for this project are to:
Gather Winnipeggers’ opinions, perceptions, experiences and desires for the City’s transportation network.
Use this information to help identify the current state and future goals of transportation in Winnipeg.
Communicate how public input was used to help shape TMP2050.
Help Winnipeggers understand the resulting strategies within TMP2050. Ensure Winnipeggers recognize the need to balance the needs of many types of road users.
In Phase 1, we want to share how OurWinnipeg and the Climate Action Plan set the direction for transportation planning, and what other City strategies and policies have told us so far. We also want to learn more about how Winnipeggers use the transportation network and what they value to understand how transportation could support a better quality of life for residents.
We’re asking Winnipeggers to provide input across a number of platforms. Engagement opportunities include:
