Join ITE Vancouver Island section on February 10 for an informative Lunch & Learn on Access to Opportunities Measurement: Applications in Transportation and Complete Communities presented by Andrew Martin, Watt Consulting Group.

Access to opportunities is an analytical approach to more objectively measuring transportation network performance. By combining land use and transportation network data, the approach allows practitioners to answer questions about how well networks serve the community, the scale of improvement from planned changes, whether services are equitably distributed, and more. Analyses can be applied to a wide range of active transportation and transit projects. This session will provide an overview of the different approaches to calculating access to opportunities metrics and how you can apply them in your work.

Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm PST

Location: Midtown Court, 740 Hillside Avenue (Main Floor Boardroom), Victoria, BC

Lunch will be provided; please list any dietary restrictions when purchasing your ticket.
