“Since 2019, advancing a connected and accessible transportation network has been an important part of the work to build a Brampton where residents have more safe, affordable and sustainable ways to get around. This recognition of the Brampton Mobility Plan reflects the value of taking a long-term, Complete Streets approach—one that considers pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers as we plan for our city’s continued growth. This is an important step forward, and there is still much more work to do to connect our communities and give residents more choice in how they move around Brampton.”– Rowena Santos, Regional Councillor, Wards 1 & 5,Chair, Community Services & Legislative Services, City of Brampton
The PlanON Awards are the highest honour presented by OPPI and recognize exceptional achievements by planning professionals and teams across Ontario. The Brampton Mobility Plan was one of six projects selected to receive a 2026 Vision Award of Merit.
Endorsed by Brampton City Council in September 2025, the Brampton Mobility Plan is the City’s long-term Transportation Master Plan and provides a blueprint for transportation investment. As Brampton continues to grow, the plan identifies the infrastructure, services and operational improvements needed to move more people and goods safely and efficiently while supporting a more sustainable transportation system.
Guided by the City’s Complete Streets approach, the plan looks beyond moving vehicles to consider how Brampton’s streets can better serve everyone, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers. By planning transportation and land use together, the City is working to increase the overall capacity of its transportation network and provide residents with more options for how they move around Brampton.
Planning for Brampton’s growth
The Brampton Mobility Plan responds to the city’s projected population growth with a long-term approach focused on seven guiding principles:
- Enhancing mobility and travel options for people and goods
- Improving environmental sustainability
- Integrating transportation and land use planning
- Advancing multi-modal transportation equity
- Protecting public health and safety
- Leveraging technology
- Emphasizing community engagement and collaboration
Developed through extensive public engagement and technical analysis, the plan builds on Brampton Plan and the Brampton 2040 Vision. The award also recognizes the work of City of Brampton transportation planning staff and project team members who helped develop the plan.
