Summary

The Ministry of Infrastructure leads the overall development of infrastructure policy and planning to strengthen Ontario's communities and economy. By modernizing the Province’s infrastructure, we are helping to deliver on our investments.

The ministry is responsible for developing, delivering and negotiating infrastructure programs, including on federal-provincial and municipal infrastructure programs and policies that support community infrastructure. MOI also develops regulations for asset management plans for municipalities. In addition, to support complete and vibrant communities, the ministry oversees the Transit-Oriented Communities program, leads the government’s plan to expand access to broadband and cellular connectivity across Ontario, and manages Unsolicited Proposals, a framework to receive and evaluate infrastructure proposals from the private sector.

As part of its agency oversight role, MOI has legislative responsibility for Infrastructure Ontario and Waterfront Toronto to ensure that their mandates are aligned with the province’s priorities. The ministry is also the steward of provincial asset management planning and develops tools and supports to track current infrastructure assets and planned investments across government. MOI also guides the province's infrastructure plan, and collects, standardizes, and analyzes data to support evidence-based infrastructure planning and decision-making.

Infrastructure Policy and Planning - vote 4003

The Infrastructure Policy and Planning (IPP) area leads overall policy and direction across government to modernize the Province's infrastructure and to deliver on its investments. This infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, highways, roads, bridges, transit, hospitals, colleges, schools, courthouses, correctional facilities and other government buildings.

IPP is the steward of provincial asset management planning, and develops tools and supports to track current infrastructure assets and planned investments across government. It also promotes provincial asset management best practices and advances infrastructure policy discussions with other ministries.

IPP manages the government's relationship with the federal and municipal governments on infrastructure investments by negotiating, implementing and administering funding programs to support community infrastructure.

In addition, to support complete and vibrant communities, the ministry oversees the Transit-Oriented Communities program, leads the government’s plan to expand access to broadband and cellular connectivity across Ontario, and manages Unsolicited Proposals, a framework to receive and evaluate infrastructure proposals from the private sector.

IPP develops, designs and oversees the delivery of municipal infrastructure policy and programs to ensure alignment with broader provincial infrastructure policy. It also develops regulations for asset management plans for municipalities to help them plan their infrastructure and to provide evidence to support provincial funding decisions.

As part of its agency oversight role, IPP works closely with Infrastructure Ontario and Waterfront Toronto to ensure that their mandates are aligned with the province’s priorities. It also develops policy and oversees programs for infrastructure financing, including public-private partnerships and the loan program.
