Halton Region Developer TDM Guidelines: Halton Region, ON. Currently leading a study to identify a process through
which developers can be encouraged or mandated to implement TDM programs and install TDM-­‐supportive

mandate developer participation in TDM. Significant emphasis is being placed on involvement from Region staff and
local municipalities within the region. Outreach efforts have included interviews, workshops and a survey.
Recommendations are being developed based on best practices, stakeholder input, available resources, current
processes and development realities. The final recommendations will outline a process through which developers can
be encouraged to implement TDM strategies and/or TDM-­‐supportive infrastructure. Options being considered include
mandates and incentives. The final plan will also identify the level of support that should be provided to developers to
