SUMMARY:Moving from Cost to Value and Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:As towns and cities in the UK and Canada continue to grow\, transit will play an increasingly important role in connecting people to jobs\, supporting economic growth\, reducing environmental impact\, and as the anchor for Transit Oriented Development/Communities (TOD/TOC). Transit systems are expanding in both countries with major investments in infrastructure and vehicles\, but to encourage more people to ride transit there are many factors to consider. These include: the design of transit stations and integration with surrounding communities; getting the right service levels and timetables; and making travel simple and more convenient for riders. \nBoth the UK and Canada are focused on the role transit and infrastructure will play in economic recovery\, and both have committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The transport sector is responsible for around a third of emissions in both Canada and the UK\, and congestion costs billions of dollars and pounds each year. Well-functioning transit systems can help to address both these issues and deliver wider economic\, social\, and environmental benefits. This roundtable will provide an opportunity to discuss how to boost transit ridership\, and support both countries on the journey to net zero.

SUMMARY:The Road to Transit Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Utilities play a key role in planning for future transportation electrification and supporting private sector investment. The shift to transportation electrification will have major impacts on the daily operations and functions of utility providers and rate regulators\, and capacity of existing systems. The way in which customers will consume electricity will change which provides challenges and opportunities for utilities\, along with the impacts on the grid and how utilities manage peak demand. \nThis webinar will look at examining which jurisdictions and utilities have done well in planning for electrification and what can be learned from those areas. The conversation will also investigate what enables transportation electrification planning. Finally\, it will delve into how this can be adopted in the Canadian context in different jurisdictions. \nParticipants: \nModerator: Cara Clairman\, President & CEO\, Plug’n Drive \nSpeakers: \n\nTed Wigdor\, VP Policy\, Government and Corporate Affairs\, Electricity Distributors Association\nDaniel Carr\, Head of Smart Cities\, Alectra Utilities\nRaegan Bond\, Partner\, Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors\nMaria Bocanegra\, Commissioner\, Illinois Commerce Commission
