The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is a collection of topographic data, that has been preprocessed for fast, seamless display at predefined scales. The topographic data includes constructed and natural features that make up Ontario’s landscape. The cache provides limited data from areas outside Ontario’s boundaries, such as the United States and adjacent provinces and territories. __Technical information__ Two versions of the Topographic Data Cache are available: 1. The traditional raster version is available for a variety of GIS applications and is updated annually. 2. The vector version is suitable for online web map applications as well as modern GIS software and is updated twice a year. Contributing data layers may have different maintenance and update cycles. Some cache layers have been processed in a way that makes it easier for them to be displayed in a mapping product. Other layers are unchanged from the authoritative data. The cartographic symbology used in the data cache is intentionally muted to allow users to showcase their data. The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is created from many source datasets, which are described in the Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache user guide. If you are interested in getting this authoritative data, you can download it from the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub). For instructions on getting a copy of either version of the cache for use in mapping applications, visit the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub).

This date set contains up-to date information regarding current and future roadwork occuring on provicnally owned and maintained highways, and is available to be viewed on [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca) under the "construction and roadwork" layer. This data set can also be viewed on the Ontario 511 text report page at https://511on.ca/list/roadwork.

Data collected between 2005 to 2007, 3% of sample collected in 2005, 51% in 2006 and 46% in 2007. This dataset contains a compilation of data collected from different sources. **VOG 06/** **VOG** **08 (Value of Goods)** : The data is derived from the information collected in the 2006 Ontario Commercial Vehicle Survey. This survey is a roadside intercept survey of truck drivers, which collects information about the trip, commodity and the vehicle. The survey primarily captures intercity trucking activity and under-represents truck flows in urban areas. The value of goods provided in this table is derived from the Commercial Vehicle Survey, but factored up to represent the overall trucking activity on the network segment for 2006 and 2008. **AADTT 2006 and ****AADTT** **2008:** The data is derived from the Ministry of Transportation's (MTO) inventory of annual traffic data for the Provincial Highways. The commercial volumes are first calculated using the AADT and the Commercial Percentage values for each traffic segment. These values are then adjusted to remove variations between segments caused by fluctuations in AADT. The volume given for each direction is one-half of the total value. MTO does not maintain volume by direction. For freeway segments with core/collector configuration, the total volume is divided into four equal portions and assigned to each stream. **Hourly Truck Volumes ( WD00-23 and WN00-23): ** These fields contain estimates of average hourly volumes for a typical weekday and weekend day. The estimates are based on observed hourly distribution at more than 100 directional Commercial Vehicle Survey sites across the province, **AADTT** and other information. **RD _NAME:** Name of the road **VOG** **06:** 2006 average daily value of goods assigned to road network link by directions. **VOG** **08:** 2008 average daily value of goods assigned to road network link by directions. **AADTT** **2006:** 2006 Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic; it is the truck volume assigned to road network link by directions. **AADTT** **2008:** 2008 Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic; it is the truck volume assigned to road network link by directions. **WD** **00-23:** 2008 Weekday ( **WD** ) hourly truck volume; 00 - 23 represents starting hour of the day (e.g. 12 represents 12 P.M. - 1 P.M.). **WN** **00-23:** 2008 Weekend ( **WN** ) hourly truck volume; 00 - 23 represents starting hour of the day (e.g. 12 represents 12 P.M. - 1 P.M.). *[ WD]: Week day *[VOG]: Value of Goods *[AADTT]: Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic *[WN]: Week end *[RD]: Road *[WD]: Week day *[MTO]: Ministry of Transportation *[AADT]: Annual Average Daily Traffic

This dataset includes all MPMO projects at various stages in the review process, including those that are currently undergoing review and those that have completed a review.

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

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. Keywords: water quality, meteorology, hydrology, wind, dissolved oxygen, environmental monitoring

High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are designated lanes that can only be used by vehicles carrying two or more people or other specifc types of vehicles, such as licensed taxis and motorcycles. For more information regarding HOV lanes, please visit [HOV](https://www.ontario.ca/page/high-occupancy-vehicle-hov-lanes). HOV lanes can also be viewed on a map, by visiting [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca), and can be found under the "service" layer.
