Data is collected each year, according to the lake-by-lake cycle. Information includes: * sediment chemistry * approximately 80 index and reference stations throughout the Great Lakes basin

All of the Mineral Tenure Data for the NWT

## General guidelines 1. The dataset contains trip origin, destination, commodity group, average daily trips, commodity weight and value. 2. The data represents activity by medium and heavy trucks only. 3. The origin and destination data is aggregated by counties in Ontario and province or state outside of Ontario. 4. The commodities are grouped into 32 groups and empty trucks. 5. The Commercial Vehicle Survey targets travel on provincial facilities. Therefore, coverage of intra-urban trips is incomplete, and should not be interpreted as representative. 6. Trip activity within the Greater Toronto Area municipalities is not representative. 7. The average trip distance is 440 km. Caution must be exercised with short distance trip activities. 8. All Origin-destination pairs with average trip activity of less than one trip per day have been suppressed. ## Field descriptions **Origin zone** : Trip Origin Zone Number - Zone aggregation is counties in Ontario and province/state for others 35XX - Ontario counties 70XX - U.S. States XX00-XX00 (except 3500) - Canadian Provinces **Origin name** : Trip Origin Name - county or province/state name **Destination zone** : Trip Destination Zone Number - Zone aggregation is counties in Ontario and province/state for others. Same numbering system as origins **Destination name** : Trip Destination Name - county or province/state name **Commodity group code** : Unique commodity group numeric code **Commodity group:** Descriptive name of the commodity group **Daily trips** : Average daily truck trips **Commodity weight** : Average daily commodity weight in kilograms (KG) **Commodity value** : Average daily value of the commodity in dollars ($) *[km]: kilometre

All bridges in Ontario are inspected every 2 years using the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM) format. The weighted condition of all elements is summarized in the Bridge Condition Index (BCI). More details about the BCI can be found on [the Bridge Safety page](http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/highway-bridges/ontario-bridges.shtml) on the Ministry of Transportation website. Bridges that were recently constructed or recently transferred to the Ministry of Transportation may not have been inspected in OSIM format yet. *[OSIM]: Ontario Structure Inspection Manual *[BCI]: Bridge Condition Index

The Cordon Count Data (CCD) includes directional traffic counts at selected sites to understand how vehicles and people move across the region. Traffic data includes the number of vehicles as well as the number of passengers transported by different vehicle types and the transit system. The interval of CCD collection varies 2-3 years across agencies. CCD provides data for three time periods: 13 hours, AM peak periods, and PM peak periods. Summary data are provided for these three time periods for different screen lines, and directions. *[CCD]: Cordon Count Data

The Ontario Digital Surface Model (DSM) (Lidar-Derived) Land Information Ontario dataset is a raster product that provides a representation of both surface and ground features derived from a classified lidar point cloud. A DSM is the highest reflective surface of features captured by the sensor. This surface is also referred to as the first reflective surface. The DSM may include: * treetops * rooftops and tops of towers * telephone poles * other natural or artificial features * ground surface if there is no vegetative ground cover The DSM data is available in 1 km by 1 km non-overlapping tiles grouped into packages for download. This dataset is a compilation of lidar data from multiple acquisition projects, so specifications, parameters and sensors may vary by project. This data is for geospatial tech specialists, and is used by government, municipalities, conservation authorities and the private sector for land use planning and environmental analysis.

Data tracking historical truck travel speeds from the road network performance project. The travel speeds, Travel Time Index (TTI), Delay Index (DI) and Buffer Time Index (BTI) were calculated with GPS data collected by GPS fleet tracking units. This data is used by the Ministry of Transportation to monitor truck speed and performance on major roadways within Ontario. *[GPS]: Global Positioning System

The data is used to create reference and thematic maps The Special Needs Strategy was launched in February 2014 to improve services for children and youth with special needs and their families. Its three key areas include: * identifying kids' needs earlier and connecting them to the right help sooner * coordinating service planning * making the delivery of rehabilitation services seamless

The data identifies First Nation treaties and other agreements, such as land purchases by the Crown. This file was used to create a reference map illustrating the 46 treaties and other agreements signed between 1781 and 1930.

Data on physical conditions in Ontario’s lakes and streams: * For lakes this includes measurements such as temperature, dissolved oxygen levels and water transparency, ice dates, as well as sampling location details. * For streams this includes measurements such as stream flow discharge from monitoring stations in south-central Ontario. Meteorological conditions for climate stations close to monitored lakes in south-central Ontario, includes measurements such as air temperature, humidity, precipitation and wind speed. This data set includes information on sampling locations and physical conditions in lakes and streams across Ontario, as well as meteorological and lake ice-cover conditions from monitoring stations in south-central Ontario. Data were collected since 1976, as part of routine monitoring of water quality of inland waters and for scientific and research purposes.
