Tolling? Road pricing? New technologies?
The Sustainable Transportation Coalition has gone south of the border to get a preview. Seattle has already introduced tolling on the SR 520 Bridge and experimented with road-user charges. So we’ve asked policy analyst Matthew Kitchen of the Puget Sound Regional Council to give us an in-depth understanding of their research, experiments and real-life examples,
as well as to describe what has happened, what they’re learning and what the implications may be for the future.
How does reality compare with what the models say? How will those results affect their regional plans? And what does this mean for their political decisions? Should, for instance, toll revenues support non-road investments?
Join us to hear about what led to tolling in Seattle, the research they did, and the experiment they created. A panel of Vancouverites will discuss what this might mean for us – and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
