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. As alwa ys\, the day wouldn't be complete without presentations by student researc hers from 91˿Ƶ and Polytechnique Montréal on diverse topics r elated to transport and cities.\n\nDate: Thursday\, April 9\, 2026\n Time:  9:30 AM - 17:00 PM \n Location: Armstrong building\, Room 365/370\n\nRegist er here\n\n\n \n Agenda\n\n 9:30 - 10:00 | Arrival and Coffee\n\n 10:00 – 10:1 5 | Opening Remarks by Kevin Manaugh\, Associate Professor jointly appoint ed to the Department of Geography and the Bieler School of Environment\n\n 10:15 - 11:00 | Keynote Speech by Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordan (Presenta tion in English)\n\n 11:00 - 12:15 | Panel #1 Nature and cars with Catherin e Guastavino\, Sarah Dorner and Lenore Fahrig\n\n 12:15 – 13:15 | Lunch\n\n 13:15 – 14:15 | Graduate Student Lightning Talks\n\n 14:15 – 14:45 | Coffee \n\n 14:45 – 16:00 | Panel #2 – Transport & Marginalized Groups with Alejan dro Pérez Villaseñor\, E.
