Session 2
Mobility trends: Harnessing mobility trends to better serve Greater Vancouver
COVID-19 and the shift to work from home have impacted the way we move today and are changing our mobility needs of tomorrow. Mobility-as-a-service, innovative technologies and new modes are helping to tackle deep rooted issues such as congestion, emissions and first and last mile connectivity. However, as our region rebuilds post-pandemic, how will new trends and technologies respond, evolve and come together to provide the integrated mobility network that best serves our region, while addressing broader transportation and climate change goals, supporting livable communities and servicing the growth of Greater Vancouver?
