Mobility Pricing – Is it time? Lessons from London and Stockholm
The Mobility Pricing Independent Commission will release their findings and recommendations for the region later this month. What lessons can Vancouver learn from other cities in moving forward to achieve our transportation goals?
Join us to hear from Ben Plowden, Director of Strategy and Planning from Transport London and Mattias Lundberg, Head of Transportation Planning for the City of Stockholm. A panel discussion will follow with representatives from leading North American cities to explore common opportunities and challenges with mobility pricing.
Our speakers will also be joined by panelists Amanda Eaken, Director of Transportation and Climate in the Healthy People, Thriving Communities Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Kristen Simpson, Acting Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation’s Project Development Division.
