Welcome to Transport Futures!

Traffic congestion. Lost time. Crumbling roads. Increasing emissions causing climate change and smog. Few transportation choices. And no new revenue sources to fix these problems.

Most Ontarians would agree that there is an urgent need to bring predictability and ease of mobility to the province’s transportation network. But how do we achieve this? Can changing the way we pay for roads, parking, insurance and emergency costs help improve mobility, accessibility, air quality, fuel conservation and the state of the province’s transportation infrastructure? How would changing the way we pay for transportation positively or negatively affect Ontario's citizens and businesses?

To answer these multi-faceted questions and fill a critical void in the development of sustainable transportation policy in Ontario, Healthy Transport Consulting has spearheaded an ongoing series of learning events designed to explore transportation demand management and infrastructure funding issues. With the help of our valued advisors, sponsors, more than 50 international speakers and over 700 delegates since November 2008, Transport Futures has staged six major non-partisan learning events where road pricing, parking fees, gas taxes and other financial measures are rationally discussed by government, business, labour organizations, NGOs, professional associations, academia and citizens-at-large. You are invited to join the discussion!
