How to explore it

Take a narrated tour

Four tours, about a minute each. The map flies with the voice, and every word appears on screen as a caption. Pause, skip or mute any time.

Scrub the morning

Drag the timeline from 5 a.m. to noon, or press Play, and each town's commuters set off in the hour they really leave.

Click any town

See who comes in, who goes out, where they go, how long it takes and how they travel. Gold streams arrive, blue streams leave.

Find your commute

Pick where you live and where you work to see how many people make the same trip.

Watch it live

Turn on the camera button to see live traffic cameras from Ontario 511, DriveBC, the City of Calgary and Québec 511 right on the map.

Read it as text

The table lists every municipality with every number. Sort any column; select a name to see it on the map.

Every municipality, side by side
