  6. Municipal/Regional Partnerships • Partnerships ensure local governments retain independence combined with cost and co-ordination advantages on regional infrastructure issues that extend beyond boundaries and capacities. • Key aspect of partnership: Opportunity for municipalities to jointly address demands on resources, infrastructure and finances. • Principal reason for regional approaches to infrastructure and shared services: Economies of scale.

  7. Interdepartmental/Intergovernmental Coordination • Local Government coordinates support for Capital Region to: • share information • highlight areas of policy alignment • identify resources for projects • Most recent project: Capital Region Transportation Master Plan which will inform future recommendations on regional approaches to infrastructure and service sharing.

  8. Capital Region Transportation Master Plan • The PMCR and the Province of Manitoba are developing a Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan for the Manitoba Capital Region. • Goal: To develop a transportation master plan that will identify transportation service and infrastructure needs that are consistent with the transportation priorities identified by the PMCR and the Province. • The provincial and municipal governments in the Capital Region are working together to coordinate priorities, leverage resources and eliminate duplicate efforts for transportation services in the region. • The plan will identify transportation challenges and opportunities in the Capital Region and will complement the City of Winnipeg’s Transportation Master Plan.
