| Event Description |
This networking session will be comprised of three presentations and roundtable discussions focusing on the development of an integrated transportation network, the presentations using Greater Vancouver as one model. This event will include: governance and funding of urban transportation; integration of land use and transportation planning; and social inclusion (accessibility) in the transportation system. The Greater Vancouver model includes a strong public consultation component, involving key stakeholders as well as public opinion polling on key policy and funding alternatives. Principles include integrated land use and transportation planning to shape urban development, and a user pay transport system. A mixed delivery system including public and private operators encourages innovation, efficiency and customer service.
