Transport Futures: Intercity Travel Conference November 27, 2017 – DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Toronto, Ontario www.transportfutures.ca/intercity
Can Ontario’s intercity bus and rail services compete with car and air travel? Find out at the Transport Futures Intercity Travel Conference where international and local experts will discuss challenges and opportunities from several perspectives: history and culture; planning and infrastructure; technology and interoperability; customer service and demand; modal competition and safety; finance and funding; risk and delivery; governance and politics.
Together we'll explore how multiple services can coexist efficiently, fulfil different functions, build a cohesive transportation network and make effective use of limited tax dollars.
With provincial and municipal elections taking place in 2018, the time to discuss intercity travel is now!
