Technical Manuals

Previously distributed by outside publishers, the MTO manuals are now available for downloading and/or printing from the Library catalogue free of charge. Manuals can be accessed searching by title, author or subject. If you wish to see a full list of titles available, enter "technical manual" in the subject search field.

Publications, available in PDF form are attached to the catalogue record. Attachments are identified with a paperclip icon. Click on the icon to open the document-viewing box. Some large publications have been attached in two or more sections to assist in downloading.

The Ontario Provincial Standards, Traffic Volumes and CDED can be accessed in their own databases.

MTO's Designated Sources for Material (DSM) is now accessible from The Road Authority website.

Research Reports

In addition to the technical manuals, over 1,600 MTO research publications are also available for downloading and or printing.
