Joint Regional Transportation Agency

Planning a safe, equitable, and resilient regional transportation system for Halifax and surrounding communities.

Regional Transportation Plan

A map shows the study area for the regional transportation plan. It includes most of HRM, all of East Hants, all of West Hants, Chester, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Bridgewater, Wolfville, Kentville, Truro, Stewiacke, Millbrook First Nation, Sipekne'katik First Nation, Glooscap First nation, Windsor, Acadia First Nation, and Annapolis Valley First Nation

Our communities are growing, and we need a transportation system that supports growth and improves connections.

That’s why the JRTA is developing a Regional Transportation plan.

The plan will establish a coordinated long-term vision for a regional transportation system that makes sustainable growth and development possible and improves the safe and efficient movement of people and goods into, out of, and throughout Halifax and surrounding communities.
