Halton is a region of the Greater Toronto Area, home to about 550,000 people in 2016. As its bedroom communities for Toronto workers expand, it has one of the highest population growth rates in the country. Despite the growth in residential development, agriculture and protected lands along the Niagara Escarpment are still the predominant land uses in the region. Burlington and Oakville are largely urban and suburban, while the towns of Milton and Halton Hills are more rural.
GO Transit operates commuter rail and bus services in the region, while Oakville, Burlington and Milton each have their own municipal transit systems.
