Join Todd Litman, hosted by The Green Action Centre, for an evening envisioning a more connected, affordable, and healthy city.
For too long, Winnipeg, like many North American cities, has been stuck in a costly cycle: prioritizing driving leads to diminished travel choices and relentless pressure to pour money into ever-expanding, expensive road infrastructure. This approach fails to solve congestion and strains our public budget.
There is a better path. “Win-win” transportation solutions exist that can ease traffic while directly making our city more affordable, equitable, healthy, safe, and sustainable. The key is shifting from simply moving cars to prioritizing accessibility—by investing in connected, protected bike lanes, better walking infrastructure, and reliable transit that work together in compact, complete communities.
In this essential public presentation, renowned researcher Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute will share critical insights from his latest work, including:
• Smart Congestion Relief
• Affordability as a Transportation Planning Goal
• The Mobility-Productivity ParadoxHis research provides a powerful blueprint for how Winnipeg can invest more wisely, champion fairness, and build a city where everyone—regardless of age, ability, or income—can thrive.
This is the conversation about Winnipeg’s future we need to have. Let’s move beyond the status quo and talk about real, cost-effective solutions.
