Changing Lanes: Better Value from Winnipeg Transportation Investmentswith Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute 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 added traffic fills the new capacity.&nbsp; There are &ldquo;win-win&rdquo; 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.&nbsp; In this keynote 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. Space for the afternoon is limited and we encourage you to secure your seat as soon as possible.&nbsp; THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:Councillor Emma Durand-WoodLandmark Planning and DesignPeg City Car Co-opCouncillor Brian Mayes
