Conference - Transport Futures

Building on our seven previous learning events, global and local experts will compare how Canadian, American and European governments deliver road, transit and parking infrastructure in terms of efficiency, transparency and innovation. Issues and questions to be discussed include:

• Legislation: How does transport legislation enable or restrict innovative mobility planning? How does it fit with other pertinent statutes?
• Board & Budget Decisions: How are agency board members and sub-committees appointed? Should non-elected boards be given the power to introduce new taxes?
• Vertical & Horizontal Fragmentation: Do transportation “silos” within the public and private sector play a role in delaying the planning and construction of transit, road and parking infrastructure?
• External Stakeholders: How do business, academic and non-profit stakeholders influence governance issues?
• Public Skepticism: Since taxation is often viewed by citizens as “a bad thing”, how can transport governance help gain public trust for billion dollar infrastructure projects and mobility pricing?
