Clerk's Directory of Record for Record Series Management Tool (RSMT)

** This dataset is retired **

See "RSMT Directory of Records Readme" file

The City holds or has control of a wide number of general records and personal information banks. All of these records are controlled by municipal, provincial or federal legislation. The directory indicates which legislation the records are covered by (i.e. authority).

  
The directory is a list and detailed description of the general classes or types of records and personal information banks in the custody or control of the City.

The data was collected from a number of sources. Some of the data was from legacy systems of the former municipalities and is updated by Corporate Information Management Staff. This data is also a subset of the City's Records Classification System (RCS) classification scheme.

Bikeways

The Toronto bikeways dataset illustrates the existing cycling network across the city, including both shared and dedicated bikeways. A summary of the network status is available at toronto.ca/cyclingnetwork 

The Toronto bikeways dataset contains the following types of bikeways: cycle tracks, bicycle lanes (including buffered bike lanes and contra-flow bike lanes), neighbourhood routes with sharrows (including wayfinding sharrows), multi-use trails (including off-road and in-boulevard), as well as signed cycling routes. 

There are two fields that reference the bikeway type because some streets have different infrastructure on each side of the roadway. "INFRA-HIGH" refers to the highest classified cycling infrastructure type installed on this segment. "INFRA-LOW" refers to the lowest classified cycling infrastructure type. The hierarchy is based on the quality and comfort of the bikeway type, with routes that are shared with vehicles as the lowest comfort, and the greater the separation / dedicated space, the higher the comfort and classification.

For example, on a contra-flow bike lane route with sharrows in the other direction, the highest classified cycling infrastructure type on this street is the contra-flow bike lane, and the lower order infrastructure is the sharrows. If the street has the same type of cycling infrastructure on both sides, then the input is the same for both "INFRA-LOW" and "INFRA-HIGH". If there is a bikeway on only one side of a street, the bikeway type is listed under "INFRA-HIGH", and the "INFRA-LOW" field is blank.

The "SHAPE_LENGTH" field identifies the length of the segment, which is measured in centreline metres. 

Bikeways installed prior to 2001 are shown with an install year of 2001.

Count Yourself In Workforce Survey

The CYI Survey invites employees to voluntarily disclose how they self-identify based on questions related to Indigenous identity, Black identity, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation and if they identify as a person with a disability. The data displays the diversity within the workforce at the City of Toronto. 

The goal of the survey is to track progress towards realizing the City's Motto "Diversity Our Strength", and to continuously monitor and socialize diversity data across the City, in order to help inform decision-making and address gaps in representation across all levels at the City.

## About the Datasets
The following datasets were collected through the City's CYI Workforce survey between 2013 and 2024. The data has been reported in aggregate formats that do not allow for the identification of individual employees. 

#### First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Data

The City is working with an external working group of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) advisors to develop a framework for the collection and use of FNIM data. While this framework is in development, Indigenous data from CYI surveys conducted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 will not be made available until Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession (OCAP) and United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) principles have been applied.

However, Indigenous data from 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 is still available. 
For questions related to the implications or considerations of the framework’s development, please contact [dataequity@toronto.ca](mailto:dataequity@toronto.ca)

Free Floating Carshare Program

The City of Toronto’s Free-Floating Car-Share program was approved by Council, as a permanent program, in July 2020. The program has undergone various changes throughout its lifespan, adjusting to fit the needs of users, the participating organization/company, and to ensure a balanced program that does not negatively impact neighbourhoods with permit parking.

Currently, once a car-share company applies for a free-floating car-share permit, the car-share vehicle is allowed to be parked legally in a residential permit parking area/street in accordance with the following rules:

 

**Excluded Areas**

Streets and areas that are at 100 percent capacity or more for residential permit parking are excluded from the car-share company’s service area via geo-fencing within the respective car-share company's trip reservation system. A list of excluded streets/areas that are at 100 percent capacity or more for residential permit parking is provided by the City at the beginning of the permit period and updated every six months.

 

**Parking Limit**

A car-share vehicle must not be parked continuously in any one place for a period exceeding seventy-two (72) consecutive hours.

 

**Clustering of Car-Share Vehicles**

No more than two car-share vehicles from the same company are allowed to park on a street block (i.e., a street block is defined as that physical portion of the road between two consecutive intersections). The car-share company must move its vehicle(s) within two hours of becoming aware of its car-share vehicle(s) clustering or after receiving notification from the City or a resident.

The data on this page describes more details of the program’s implementation in the city, relating to its range and usage.

Travel Times - Bluetooth

The City of Toronto collects travel time data from Bluetooth and WiFi sensors on streets and highways across the City. Travel times are derived from individual point (i.e. single location) observations, generated when a vehicle or mobile device passes by a Bluetooth/WiFi sensor. Historical data (refreshed monthly) and a real-time feed are both available to the public.

Data is averaged into 5-minute snapshots based on a sample of detected vehicles. Availability of historical and real-time data are contingent on the installation date and on-going functionality of sensors on individual segments.

**Positive**: the insight was positive in tone

**Neutral**: the insight was neutral in tone

While the City continues to work on reducing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring the delivery of essential and critical City services, it is also working to prepare for Toronto’s recovery.
The City established the Toronto Office of Recovery and Rebuild (TORR) in April 2020 to:<br> 
<br> 
•	coordinate engagement and research<br> 
•	develop the City’s recovery strategies<br>

  * 24 participants attended
  * The public meeting included a presentation by City staff and the Lobbyist Registrar on the proposed amendments to the Lobbying By-law. There was also an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions and to provide feedback and comments on the proposed amendments.
