This ha s had a wide range of negative environmental and social impacts. However\, transport systems which focus on public transit and “active” transport (w alking and cycling) are uniquely situated to address a wide range of socie tal goals including reducing GHG emissions and other pollutants at the sam e time improving health and safety. While cities have begun to embrace a m ove towards a new mobility paradigm\, the path towards sustainable and inc lusive transport systems has a number of technical\, political\, economic and societal barriers.\n\nIn this 3rd Annual Sustainable Transportation Ro undtable\, following their recent book\, “Life after cars”\, Sarah Goodyea r and Doug Gordon of the podcast “War on Cars” will open the day with a ke ynote. Following this\, two panels consisting of local experts and stakeho lders will discuss issues related to transport and sustainability.
