SUMMARY:The Road to Transit Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Across North America transit agencies are updating their fleets with lower emission vehicles. As well as providing environmental benefits that help meet national and local environmental goals\, electric vehicles also come with lower operating costs. \nLocal governments and transit agencies have often been at the forefront of tackling climate change and the shift from diesel buses to electric is a shift many transit agencies are making. Although there are benefits including reduced fuel costs\, less vehicle noise\, improved air quality\, and reduced emissions\, as with any transition there are challenges to overcome. \nThis discussion will draw on the experience of transit agencies from Canada and the U.S. and leading companies in the sector to explore those challenges\, and identify the most effective approaches to overcoming them\, and lessons learned through the process.

SUMMARY:Moving from Cost to Value and Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Environmental performance and economic value go hand-in-hand when assessed over the lifetime of infrastructure. When projects are planned and procured it is often only the upfront costs for design and construction considered. More innovative designs and building materials may cost more initially\, but can reduce lifecycle costs and substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the years a piece of infrastructure is in use. By capturing that lifetime value it becomes easier to fairly compare proposals and deliver long-term cost savings and environmental benefits. \nBoth the UK and Canada are focused on the role infrastructure will play in economic recovery\, and both have also committed to producing net zero emissions by 2050. This roundtable will provide an opportunity to share best practices on how infrastructure investment can deliver better environmental and economic outcomes\, and support both countries on the journey to net zero.
