The mandate of the Ontario Good Roads Association is to represent the infrastructure interests of municipalities through advocacy, consultation, training and the delivery of identified services.

This mandate translates into five main business objectives:
• To advocate for sustainable funding for municipal infrastructure.
• To advocate the collective interests of our members through policy analysis, legislative review and consultation.
• To provide affordable and accessible education and training services.
• To promote leadership with regard to infrastructure asset management.
• To develop plans, programs and partnerships for the delivery of services that meet the needs of our members.
