DESCRIPTION:In the 20th Century\, the automobile became the predominant mod
 e of transport in most cities in North America. This has had a wide range 
 of negative environmental and social impacts. However\, transport systems 
 which focus on public transit and “active” transport (walking and cycling)
  are uniquely situated to address a wide range of societal goals including
  reducing GHG emissions and other pollutants at the same time improving he
 alth and safety. While cities have begun to embrace a move towards a new m
 obility paradigm\, the path towards sustainable and inclusive transport sy
 stems has a number of technical\, political economic and societal barriers
 .\n\nIn this 2nd Annual Sustainable Transportation Roundtable\, two key th
 emes will be discussed: 1) rethinking streets and 2) overcoming barriers t
 o better public transport. The first theme will involve a keynote from Tom
  Flood who brings his experience in advertising to reframe how we talk abo
 ut traffic safety. A panel discussion follows with new perspectives on tra
 ffic safety\, equity\, and how the think about streets. Following lunch\, 
 student researchers from ������ and Polytechnique Montréal will
  present on diverse topics related to transport and cities. Finally\, a pa
 nel will discuss overcoming barriers to better public transport.\n\nWe sin
 cerely appreciate Alstom's generous support in making this event possible.
