Smart Mobility Summit - Transport Futures

With transportation planning and financing becoming more complex due to technological, social and political factors, Transport Futures held the Smart Mobility Summit on December 3, 2018 – which coincided with our 10th anniversary. The interactive agenda saw more than 100 delegates learn about British, Swedish and American city regions that are managing and integrating roads, transit, car/bike/scooter sharing, goods movement, automated vehicles, mobility pricing, big data and general funding in their transportation plans. Speakers applied lessons to the Ontario context and discussed how the public and private sector can prepare for a customer-oriented, multi-modal future looking out to 2028. CBC Toronto News, NRU and the Daily Commercial News reported on different aspects of the event.

Based on 38 delegate evaluations received, 84% said the Smart Mobility Summit met or surpassed their expectations. Here are a few testimonials:
