This panel is a part of the Visions for Canada, 2042 Conference. You can learn more about the conference and register to attend by visiting the conference webpage.
The panel will discuss institutional structures and approaches to transportation, including how major policy and regulatory frameworks interact with each other and impact the general public. We expect the analysis and discussion to show that governments will need to develop more comprehensive and robust institutional mechanisms to bridge the jurisdictional gaps and overhaul their regulatory frameworks if Canadians are to benefit fully from rapidly-emerging technological changes in the sector.
Drawing on the expertise of Carleton’s recently formed “Transportation Policy and Innovation Centre” (TPIC, we expect this roundtable to generate a wide range of insights from public policy, political science, business, Canadian studies, engineering, and international trade policy to deliver a strategic and provocative vision for Canada’s future transportation needs, opportunities and challenges.
