Transportation Futures - Solving Gridlock Forum

May 10, 2014

Several transportation investment strategies have been proposed by the Ontario Liberal Party, Metrolinx and others with the promise that quicker commute times are coming sometime in the next decade.

Will the addition of new transit and roads alone significantly reduce gridlock? How can evidence-based infrastructure choices be consistently made in order to cut congestion at the best price for taxpayers? What communication strategies are needed to gain public and political support for transportation demand management measures?
