Phase 1: Needs and Opportunities

Lanark County is developing a new Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to guide the County’s future transportation system, direct investment, address changes and challenges, and support safe, efficient and equitable mobility.

During this first phase of the TMP study, we are developing our understanding of transportation needs, issues and opportunities in the County. In later phases, we will share a draft plan that responds to the needs and issues that you will have helped identify.

This questionaire will be available June 15 to July 12, 2026.
