ͻOver the next decade, the combined workforce demand in our region will be an estimated

The WOWC has also been advocating over the past year on the need for the Province of Ontario

in addition to providing additional supports for homelessness. To that end, the 2023 Ontario
Budget confirms an additional $202 million each year for the Homelessness Prevention Program
and the Indigenous Supportive Housing Program.
ͻThis investment will help a growing number of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness,

Media Release
The Western hƓƷğƩźƚ ğƩķĻƓƭ /ğǒĭǒƭ ΛWOWC) joined Good
Roads (originally known as the Ontario Good Roads Association) in calling on the Province of
Ontario to work collaboratively with municipalities across rural Ontario to make roads safer, as
well as improve risk management, community connectivity, and economic development.
Given that the 15 members of the WOWC represent approximately 300 communities across
rural Southwestern Ontario, the Caucus recently supported Dƚƚķ wƚğķƭ Plan to Build Safer
Rural Roads and Address Municipal Liability, specifically the request to work in conjunction with
the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to design and administer a program to provide
municipalities with access to a pool of funding to enhance road safety and to repair and
upgrade targeted sections of rural roads deemed unsafe.
Good Roads has also indicated its preparedness to fund pilot projects to demonstrate the
benefits of this initiative, noting that hƓƷğƩźƚƭ ƩǒƩğƌ Ʃƚğķƭ ğƩĻ ķźƭƦƩƚƦƚƩƷźƚƓğƷĻƌǤ ķğƓŭĻƩƚǒƭ
and a source of significant liability for rural municipalities Α and that there are cost-effective,
cutting-edge roadway safety tools that can be used to prevent injuries and save lives.
ͻSimply put, rural roads are more dangerous than other roads. In 2019, there were 428 traffic
fatalities on municipal roads, of which 205 occurred in rural municipalities. The unfortunate
reality is that with only 13.3% of the provincial population, rural Ontario accounted for 48% of
traffic fatalities on municipal roadsͲͼ explains Scott Butler, Executive Director of Good Roads.
ͻMany rural, remote, and northern municipalities are responsible for maintaining extensive
road networks on a smaller population/tax base. As a result, these roads tend to be older, in
poorer condition, and incorporate basic road safety infrastructure.ͼ

roads can be made less dangerous. Potential interventions include replacing legacy assets
(wooden posts with guardrails), installing absent road fixtures (guiderail, signs, lighting, and
road paint), or upgrading to more modern assets with innovative safety functions (guardrails,
guiderails, and crash cushions).
ͻŷĻ h/ ǒƓķĻƩƭƷğƓķƭ ƷŷğƷ ƷŷĻƩĻ are multiple benefits to a program such as this, notably,
