5. FUTURE CONDITIONS To generate future travel demands, the four stages of the model as described in Section 4 of this report were applied using future population, employment and road network as inputs. 5.1. Future Population and Employment Future populations were provided by Greater Sudbury. This included a population of approximately 175,000, identified as a high in-migration scenario. The rational for modeling the high in-migration scenario was that it would have the greatest impact on the transportation system. This population level had been reached previously and it was proposed that this population could be reached again. Year 2001 employment figures were developed using 2001 POR-POW data at the Census Tract level. Employment for each Census Tract was allocated to the traffic zones within each Census Tract. This allocation was augmented by employment data contained in the 1992 Transportation Study and information provided by Greater Sudbury. Percentage increases in population for the former municipalities between the Year 2001 and Year 2021 were used as a basis to project the 2021 employment for each of the former municipalities. For example, based on the percent increase in population shown in Table 5.1.1, the 2001 employment figures for all the traffic zones in Valley East were increased by 14%.

The employment for the affected traffic zones was updated and the final 2021 employment by former municipalities used in the assessment along with the 2001 employment is shown in Table 5.1.2.
