Abstract: Municipal official plans are useful for mainstreaming transportation objectives into local development planning and decision-making processes. Using a plan quality evaluation, this article assesses whether and how well transportation planning is integrated in municipal official plans of the 30 most populous municipalities in Canada. The results suggest this integration is weak, with a notable absence of rigorous data to inform transportation content in official plans, and poor monitoring and evaluation of transportation goals and policies. Furthermore, few plans provided details about how transportation-related policies would be implemented.
