Gravel Roads Liaison

The path to OGRA's new committee is paved with gravel!

OGRA is creating a Gravel Liaison Committee in response to municipalities requesting guidance on how best to manage/maintain their gravel road network.

This new committee will identify and recommend solutions for gravel roads related issues. The committee will facilitate the development of best practices, provide and develop educational materials and programs, as well as recommend updates to gravel road/aggregate related Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and Ontario Provincial Standard Drawings (OPSD).

Meetings will be quarterly in-person with a teleconference option.

Membership will include municipalities and subject matter experts.

• Municipal, 15 (Northwest x3, Northeast x3, Southeast x3, Central x3, and Southwest x3);
• Experts/Consultants, 2-3;
• Partner Associations, 1-2; and
• OGRA staff, 1.
