Association Overview

Who We Are

The Ontario Traffic Control Contractors Association (OTCCA) is a not-for-profit association that was founded in 2018 to provide practical legal and bargaining support for its twenty plus member companies.

Additionally, the OTCCA provides in-depth traffic control safety training for member company workers, ensuring that they are kept up to date on best practices to keep themselves and the general public safer on roadways. At the heart of our goals is the principle that striving for excellence is in our core services to our member companies – advocacy, learning and engagement, and collective bargaining are critical to improving roadway and worker safety.
