Road Talk

Ontario's Transportation Technology Transfer Digest

ROAD TALK is prepared and published quarterly, and is distributed provincially, nationally and internationally by the Division Services Office of the Provincial Highways Management Division, Ontario Ministry of Transportation. It provides easy-to-read reliable access to technology transfer information from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's Technology transfer Group. The Ontario Road Builders Association and the Ontario Good Roads Association also support the development of this news digest.

ROAD TALK focuses on highway infrastructure, particularly in the areas of design, construction, operations, safety, the environment, and maintenance. Each issue contains the latest developments from the Ministry of transportation's own researchers and scientists, as well as news from regional and district offices, and Ontario municipalities. The names and phone numbers of appropriate ministry persons to contact for further information are provided.

Communication with our readers is always encouraged. Use the Reader Response link to submit suggestions, ideas or comments for future issues, to request earlier issues, or to be added to the ROAD TALK recipient list.
