Plan Overview

In December of 2021, the City of Canton began the development of the Canton Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the first of its kind for the city. This Plan is intended to: 

• Develop a comprehensive city-wide transportation master plan to guide future transportation decision-making 
• Include analysis of demographic trends, travel patterns, and project alternatives to meet projected future demand
• Identify policies, programs, strategies, projects, costs, and funding sources needed  to assure that the city’s transportation system adequately serves the short, intermediate, and long-term travel needs
• Undertake an extensive public and stakeholder process to gather valuable input

Plan Timeline

Public and stakeholder outreach efforts occurred throughout the entirety of the planning process, even as the plan document was being produced. A year after its  initiation, the Canton TMP was adopted.
