Join OPPI for an engaging and interactive day to explore transportation. Gain a deeper understanding of the function and role of planners in the space of transportation in the past, now and the future! Start the day with guided excursions through the area, where you’ll see transportation planning in action and explore real-world examples of innovative approaches.
In the afternoon, connect with fellow planners and transportation experts through rotating discussion groups designed to spark conversation, answer your questions, and share practical, real-world insights.
Explore topics including:
- Growth, infrastructure, and development
- Technical literacy and modelling
- Network planning and facility design
- Policy directions, e.g. complete streets, curbside management and more
Keep the conversation going!
