Design of the “Future Mobility in Canada Survey” (FMCS) to assess the evolving mobility landscape in urban Canada with an emphasis on automated vehicles
Towards addressing transportation planning’s contradictions
This article proposes a unified theory for transportation planning based on the capabilities approach which helps reconcile three key contradictions with which transportation planning has not sufficiently grappled. Those contradictions include the following. First, should transportation planners focus on opportunities or outcomes? Second, is travel good or bad? Third, how can transportation deliver value in a polyrational world which faces challe…
Funding Transportation in the Dark? The Case Study of Ontario, Canada
The challenges of funding transportation infrastructure and services are significant and they shape both what is built and how individuals travel. Transportation funding sources are evolving considering changing technologies. The case study of Ontario, Canada, which is in the process of a generational investment in transit infrastructure, illustrates opportunities for addressing these challenges. This case study uses a policy assessment lens cons…
What might working from home mean for the geography of work and commuting in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Canada
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the precarity of urban society, illustrating both opportunities and challenges. Teleworking rates increased dramatically during the pandemic and may be sustained over the long term. For transportation planners, these changes belie the broader questions of how the geography of work and commuting will change based on pandemic-induced shifts in teleworking and what this will mean for society and policymaking. Th…
Insights into the future of telework in Canada
Shifting Gears for the Automated Vehicle
Travel behavior responses to automated vehicles (AVs) could undermine broader transportation policy objectives. This study presents focus group findings on Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) residents’ interest and expected behavioral responses to AVs. Five key consumer response themes are identified: safety and ethics concerns; lack of trust; diverse AV use intentions; agreement on a role for public sector involvement; and disagreement ove…
Shared mobility adoption from 2016 to 2018 in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area
Who uses ride‐hailing? Policy implications and evidence from the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area
While many are eager to guide policy decisions on ride‐hailing, understanding the broader social and travel implications hinges on local contexts. Towards providing policy guidance in the Canadian context, this paper explores how mobility sub‐markets are related to ride‐hailing use in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Using data from a 2018 travel survey, cluster analysis is used to identify four traveller sub‐markets which are compared with…

Are major canadian city-regions monocentric, polycentric, or dispersed
Relatively little research has explored spatial structure in modern major Canadian regions. Three common models are monocentricity, polycentricity, and dispersion, but these are not always mutually exclusive in the complex spatial structures of contemporary city-regions. Shifts between these models are discussed in the context of three explanations of economic growth and restructuring: accessibility, municipal competition, and globalization. All …
Do firms flee traffic congestion
Traffic Congestion’s Economic Impacts
Traffic congestion alleviation has long been a common core transport policy objective, but it remains unclear under which conditions this universal byproduct of urban life also impedes the economy. Using panel data for 88 US metropolitan statistical areas, this study estimates congestion’s drag on employment growth (1993 to 2008) and productivity growth per worker (2001 to 2007). Using instrumental variables, results suggest that congestion slows…
