Reminder that Transport Futures is proud to announce that their 20th learning event will focus on Ontario's intercity rail and bus service and whether they can compete with car and air travel. Taking place in Toronto on November 27, 2017
With a provincial election taking place in June 2018, the time to have a meaningful conversation about intercity travel is now. As detailed in our interactive agenda, the conference will feature Canadian and international experts discussing rail and bus systems from several perspectives: history
and culture; planning and infrastructure; technology and
interoperability; mobility hubs and first/last mile options; customer
service and demand; modal competition and safety; finance and funding;
risk and delivery; governance and politics. We'll explore
how multiple rail and bus services can co-exist efficiently, fulfil
different functions, build a cohesive transportation network and make
effective use of limited tax dollars.
To achieve these intercity travel objectives, Transport Futures has invited 13 speakers to share their experience and insights:
NOTE; Interesting conference not sure if there is any room to register in it still. Paul Langan, Founder High Speed Rail Canada will be on a panel at. We need more of these conferences in Ontario.
