For the first time in the provinces history the Manitoba government has undertaken an online public consultation on regulatory change.
Passed in June 2018 the Traffic and Transportation Modernization Act dissolves the Highway Traffic Board and Motor Transport Board and eliminates more than 65 hundred regulatory requirements. Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler says the changes give municipalities the freedom to set speed limits on their roads rather than having to go through the Highway Traffic Board, it modernizes application processes for access driveways and signs along provincial roadways and simplifies internal government procedures for highway declarations resulting in red tape reduction both in and outside of government. The new regulations go into effect on March 1st and you can provide your input until January 7th online by visiting reg.gov.mb.ca/home.
