Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP)

The Municipal Performance Measurement Program was introduced for the 2000 reporting year. Under this program, municipalities are required to collect specific data on nine core service areas that includes water, wastewater, solid-waste management, land-use planning, local-government administration, roads, transit, fire and police.

The municipality submits this data to the province and reports the results to their taxpayers either through direct mail, the property tax bill, ads in local newspapers or posted on their web site. The data collected will measure the efficiency (cost) and effectiveness (quality) of local service delivery and will allow the municipality to compare their own performances from year to year and in relation to other municipalities. There are certain factors though, such as population, geography, age of infrastructure and accounting practices that influence the reported results and cause in the data from municipality to municipality.
