OPS Standards and Associated Documents

The OPS organization produces a comprehensive set of standards for use by infrastructure Owners throughout Ontario. MTO manages the publishing of these standards which are usually updated in April and November. The use of OPS standards is not mandatory. Each infrastructure Owner determines which standards they will use (if any), and when they will implement and/or cancel them for use.

This means that MTO does not always use the most "Current" version of a particular standard therefore users may need to refer to "Archived Documents" . The standards that are applicable to a particular MTO construction project are listed in the associated Tender Documents, and the specific standards that are applicable for the design of MTO transportation facilities are listed as "Active" in the ministry's Contract Preparation System (CPS). Users without access to CPS can obtain lists of "Active" standards from the CDED Manual.
