Nearly 50% of public infrastructure
assets across Ontario9s municipalities are
estimated to be in a state of disrepair,
while the municipal infrastructure
backlog was pegged at $52 billion.*
*Financial Accountability Office of Ontario, Municipal Infrastructure - A Review of Ontario's
Municipal Infrastructure and an Assessment of the State of Repair, August 17, 2021
Benefits of ensuring that public infrastructure is
maintained in a state of good repair over its life cycle:
improves safety and cost-effectiveness
decreases the risk of service disruption
reduces the costs associated with municipal
infrastructure over the long-term
RCCAO will continue to be the leading advocate for proper investment in state-ofgood-repair funding. We continue to call for focussed investment in new critical
infrastructure that addresses the housing crisis, alleviates gridlock, and adds
needed capacity to keep Ontarians and goods moving between communities.
