TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTINGAs concerns area municipalities and boroughs, the Ville-Marie Borough, which comprises downtown Montréal, is the maindestination of Greater Montréal commuters; in 2006, one commuter in five (19%), or 290,000 people in all, worked in thisborough. Next came the Saint-Laurent Borough, the daily destination of 103,000 commuters. In the Montréal agglomeration,the workplaces of more than 30,000 commuters were in six other boroughs in the centre of the island and in the municipalityof Dorval. Outside of Montréal Island, 30,000 to 50,000 commuters travelled to jobs in Chomedey and Pont-Viau–Laval-des-Rapides in Laval and in the Borough of Vieux-Longueuil in Longueuil.Distribution of commuters by place of work, 200642Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population2006, special compilation. Calculations bythe CMM, 2010.Other area municipalities and boroughs, although accounting for fewer jobs, can nonetheless be qualified as clusters of workplacesbecause of the high number of jobs in comparison with the number of workers who live there; this is the case for Pointe-Claire,Mont-Royal, Boucherville and the Anjou and Lachine boroughs, among others.Municipalities, boroughs and sectors (Laval) with more commuters working than commuters residing, 2006Municipality/borough (for the cities of Montréaland Longueuil)/sector (for Laval)Place of work Residence Difference(A) (B) (A)‐(B)Ville-Marie Borough 289,885 33,020 256,865Saint-Laurent Borough 103,120 31,595 71,525Dorval 38,680 7,840 30,840Pont-Viau–Laval-des-Rapides sector 44,765 29,765 15,000Pointe-Claire 27,090 12,385 14,705Mont-Royal 18,220 7,170 11,050Anjou Borough 27,320 16,820 10,500Boucherville 24,885 17,610 7,275Lachine Borough 24,750 17,910 6,840Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population 2006, special compilation.

Trend towards employment deconcentration, but downtown Montréal still exertinga definite pullThe number of commuter trips to work rose substantially between 2001 and 2006, from 1.41 million to 1.48 million, representinga growth rate of 5%.The types of trips that increased most rapidly during that time were those made inside the outlying municipalities (+8%) andbetween one outlying municipality and another (+15%). Commuter trips within and to the central city – i.e., the city of Montréal– grew less quickly than all commuter trips as a whole.Thus, while there has been a certain deconcentration of commuter trips in the area, with a considerable increase in trips outsidethe central city, despite the relatively small growth in commuter trips within and to the city of Montréal, commuter trips madespecifically to downtown Montréal actually increased 5%, keeping pace with the rate for all area commuter trips as a whole.Commuter trips from the North and South Shores to downtown rose 15% and 14%, respectively, between 2001 and 2006.Commuter trips by origin and destination,Greater Montréal, 2001 and 2006Commuter trips to downtown Montréal by place ofresidence, Greater Montréal, 2001 and 2006TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTINGAll commuter trips1.481.415%All commuter tripsto downtown289,885276,9705%Within the central city0.550.542%Montréal agglomerationto downtown189,335182,1854%From the suburbanmunicipalities to thecentral city0.340.333%Longueuil agglomerationto downtown38,60038,940-1%Within asuburban municipality0.170.168%Lavalto downtown19,02518,2904%From one suburbanmunicipality to anotherFrom thecentral city to asuburban municipality0.320.280.110.111%15%200620010.0 0.3 0.6 0.9 1.2 1.5(Millions of trips)Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population, 2001 and 2006, special compilation.Calculations by the CMM, 2010.North Shoreto downtownSouth Shoreto downtown18,16015,79524,77021,76515%14%200620010 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population, 2001 and 2006, special compilation.Calculations by the CMM, 2010.43
