On February 25th, Green Action Centre will welcome Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute for Changing Lanes.
Changing Lanes: Better Value from Winnipeg Transportation Investments
North American cities are trapped in a wasteful cycle: more driving, reduced travel options and pressure to build and maintain ever-more costly infrastructure. Cities need better solutions to traffic problems. Roadway expansions are expensive, and typically provide only temporary relief until additional traffic fills the new capacity.
There are “win-win” solutions that reduce congestion while also advancing other community goals including affordability, pollution reduction, trade diversification, equity, public health and safety. Applying these solutions requires a shift to accessibility-based planning that recognizes the many benefits provided by multimodal planning and compact neighbourhoods.
In this public address, Todd Litman will share important insights from his latest work: Smart Congestion Relief, Affordability as a Transportation Planning Goal and The Mobility-Productivity Paradox. His research provides practical guidance for making infrastructure investments more cost-effective, improving affordability and fairness, and creating more inclusive,livable communities.
Join us at The Forks (2nd floor event space) at 7 p.m.. Space is limited–please book your spot as soon as possible!
