About the OTC

The Ontario Traffic Conference was formed in 1950 by a small group of municipal officials, who saw the need for a co-ordinated effort to improve traffic management in Ontario, by drawing together the knowledge and expertise of those in the field of Enforcement, Engineering and Education.

The OTC mission statement is "To Develop and Promote Expertise Regarding Traffic Matters Affecting Ontario in Keeping with Current and future Transportation, Social and Environmental Goals through Engineering, Enforcement and Education".

The following are some of the specific aims of the OTC:
