The Mobility Squad dataset lists all interventions carried out by Montreal's proactive traffic management unit since its establishment in June 2018. It is updated bimonthly by the Government and Municipalities of Québec. The data aims to ensure traffic fluidity and limit unauthorized obstacles by collaborating with the Urban Mobility Management Center, police, and boroughs.
