WHAT: <\/b>Innovation Talk: Who Pays for Regional Transportation?<\/a>
\nWHEN:<\/a> <\/b>Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 7-9pm
\nWHERE: <\/b>BMO Atrium, Evergreen Brick Works<\/p>\n

The second Innovation Talk<\/a> on public transit presented by the Evergreen Brickworks \u2014 and sponsored by Spacing \u2014 will explore revenue tools to fund transit infrastructure.<\/p>\n

What is the best mix of revenue tools to fund an integrated transportation system in the GTHA? International experience shows that regional funding challenges require the application of a broad set of solutions that address multiple public policy objectives-from public health and the environment to economic prosperity and social equity. This week, The Toronto Region Board of Trade published a discussion paper outlining their four preferred choices of revenue tools to fund publish transit in the GTHA.<\/p>\n

Join us on Tuesday as our five panellists will turn a critical eye to the GTHA\u2019s funding structure and how it could be improved. Presentations and a panel discussion will explore the major revenue tools being considered in the GTHA, how to think about them from a broader policy perspective, and how varying objectives would influence the best mix of these tools. Folowing the panel discussion will be a Q&A with audience members.<\/p>\n
