The Ontario Traffic Council (OTC), formerly the Ontario Traffic Conference, was established in 1950 to improve traffic management in Ontario by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of those in the field of enforcement, engineering and education. Today, the organization is supported by its members across Ontario – regions, cities, towns, counties and industry businesses (consultants and vendors).
