Help us help you! The Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) and surrounding areas are growing faster than ever. As our population grows, coordinated planning around future transportation needs is critical.
The Transportation Tomorrow Survey provides a wealth of valuable information to help us plan a better transportation system. That's why local and provincial agencies are working together to conduct this very important household travel study.
Thank you for your interest in the Transportation Tomorrow Survey. The survey administration period is now complete. Please feel free to contact the project team should you have any questions regarding your survey data.
The Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) is a confidential and voluntary travel survey on how Ontarians in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and surrounding areas use the transportation system. The TTS has been conducted every five years since 1986. The data collected helps local and regional governments, as well as the province and transit agencies, make transportation planning and investment decisions.
The TTS 2023 is jointly undertaken by 25 funding agencies including the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), Metrolinx, the TTC, and municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and surrounding areas.
An independent, Canadian research firm, R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd., has been contracted to administer the survey.

The goal of the survey is to understand where people are going and how they get there by collecting information on the trips made by each member of your household. The information you provide will be used to make informed transportation decisions on future planning and investment for roads, public transit, and other transportation facilities to make it easier to get where you need to go.
It is important that we gather information from residents from all walks of life who use any mode of transportation - including drivers, public transit users, cyclists, and pedestrians - regardless of how many trips they took. It is equally important that we hear from residents who might not have made any trips that day, as this data is essential to understanding travel patterns, especially in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on transportation.
Participants can choose to complete the survey online or by phone. The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your household and number of trips. It is extremely important all your data is entered completely and accurately.
You can participate in one of two easy ways:
Our survey interviewers may call selected households on weeknights between 5 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. We will only be calling households with a listed phone number from the white pages that was matched to the address we have on file.
The TTS team is dedicated to protecting the privacy of its participants. Your survey responses will be combined with others' responses before they are analyzed. Your contact information will only be used to contact you for follow up about the survey.
Your responses are being collected to help the Ministry of Transportation identify travel patterns in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and surrounding areas, in accordance with the Ministry's traffic planning and road safety mandate under provincial legislation. Responses must be collected first in identifiable form for survey validation purposes, but will then have all identifiers securely removed, and will not be held by the Ministry at any time in identifiable form.
Names, addresses, and phone numbers are destroyed at the conclusion of the survey's data collection phase and before responses are received by the Ministry or its funding partners. For more information please refer to the Privacy Statement.
