Getting from Here to There, Part 3: The Hotspots in Need of Urgent Action
March 2017 | Julien Bonin
As the third report on the Getting from Here to There series, this piece identifies gaps in the transportation network in the regions of Northern Ontario and provides policy recommendations.
- The road network has numerous gaps, which worsen as the distance from urban areas increases. Such gaps make the network vulnerable to delays and disruptions.
- The Motorcoach service is restricted to the road network and is subject to its conditions and disruptions. Road disruptions or closures, therefore, also result in a disruption of the motorcoach service.
