Join us for a presentation by Matthew Lee to learn more about the Vehicle-for-Hire data management. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for networking and discussion with fellow engineers. In recent years, the Big Data Innovation Team has collaborated with Municipal Licensing and Standards to examine the impacts of Vehicles for Hire and Private Transportation Companies on Toronto’s Transportation Network, including congestion, equity, transit, and curb usage. Subsequently, Council mandated additional datasets on the Vehicle-for-Hire industry starting in 2020.

The aim of this presentation is to elucidate how the introduction of Private Transportation Companies (PTCs) in Toronto has influenced travel patterns and behavior in the city, and to comprehend its effect on the operation of the city’s street networks. This presentation will detail the methods employed in the analysis and the findings, as well as the outcomes subsequent to the presentation of these analyses to Toronto City Council.
