The NGTA is a planning study that is examining options to expand the capacity of the transportation system in future years between the Niagara Gateway and the Greater Toronto Area. It is part of the provinces interest in proactively and responsibly planning for future growth and economic prosperity in southern Ontario and the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) area. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) initiated Phase 1 of the NGTA study in December 2006, following approval of the EA Terms of Reference by the Minister of the Environment. Phase 1 of the study will look at all modal options to add capacity to the transportation systems that links Niagara to the GTA. This includes examining the role that each mode can play in the future transportation strategy for the area (e.g., rail, road, transit and marine).
