I rarely post adverts on this site, but as I will be sitting on one of the panels at this event, here goes. The text below was supplied by the Transit Summit’s organizer.

GTHA Transit Summit: Riding Towards a Sustainable Future

Hosted by Transport Futures in partnership with TMU’s Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) and Urban Analytics Institute

September 4, 2024 : TRSM Commons Conference Hall, 55 Dundas Street West, 7th Floor, Toronto

Transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is at a crossroads. On the surface, fluctuating ridership and revenue has resulted from COVID lockdowns as well as work-from-home, auto-dependency and safety issues. But there are also numerous capital and operational challenges that must be corrected: politics and governance, leadership and accountability, finance and procurement, maintenance and technology, human resources and customer service, land development and mobility management – to name a few. Please join me as well as 20 other speakers and 100 delegates as we examine transit?s many benefits and then make strategic recommendations so the future of bus, LRT, subway and rail travel is brighter than its recent past.

I will be speaking as part of the wrap-up panel reflecting on the day’s discussions and the perennial question: “where do we go from here?”
