We would like to nominate the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for the 2011 TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award in recognition of the Ministry's work on the Ontario Transit-Supportive Guidelines. As cities across Canada grow larger and our population becomes more concentrated in urban areas, more opportunities for work, education, recreation and housing become available. However, these opportunities tend to be dispersed across communities, so in many cases individuals are travelling farther for work, school and to spend time with family and friends. As commuting distances increase, efficient, effective transit service becomes increasingly important.
