Transportation Network

Connecting People and Places

The Municipality of Clarington transportation network supports the movement of goods and people and sustains Clarington communities in coordination with regional and provincial transportation systems and initiatives. Our social and economic wellbeing depend on the good management of these integrated networks to provide a wide range of mobility choices that respect the needs of all community members.

The Municipality has completed Clarington's first Transportation Master Plan (CTMP) in coordination with the Clarington Official Plan review. Together, these documents will set the course for renewal and development of Clarington's transportation network over the next twenty years and beyond.

Goods movement

The Municipality of Clarington is nestled against the eastern fringe of the Greater Toronto Area and offers prime access to some of eastern Ontario's richest agricultural lands, recreational resources, a thriving energy sector supported by innovative resources in science and technology and Canada's largest market of over 6 million people.

The majority of Clarington's population is just over an hour away from Toronto's Pearson International Airport, Toronto Island Airport, Oshawa Municipal Airport and the future Pickering Airport that support corporate air travel, federal customs services and integration with intermodal transportation facilities served by:

• Highway 401
• CN and CP mainline rail service
• Access to three deep-water ports
• Future Highway 407 development
• Future extension of GO rail service to Bowmanville.

The Municipality of Clarington actively pursues integration of its transportation network with these resources and advocates with the Region of Durham and the Ministry of Transportation on behalf of residents, local business and institutions.
