Brought to you by the ITE National Capital Section

When you think about public transit, do you think big buses, schedules, and stops? While a great tool for moving lots of people in dense, urban environments, many transit agencies and municipalities across the world have identified the need for a more creative, right-sized transit solution to better suit the needs of small, suburban, rural, or even remote communities.

Join us for a discussion of the potential applications of technology in the delivery of On Demand transit service, and how Canadian cities have used this approach to better serve residents and communities.
