The Transportation Planning Symposium brings planning professionals together to explore what’s changing in Ontario and beyond — and what’s actually working on the ground. It’s built for people who need practical, defensible approaches to mobility planning, policy, and implementation, and who value hearing directly from municipalities, consultants, and industry leaders tackling the same challenges you are.

This year’s program blends long-range vision with real-world application — from MMLOS guideline implementation, to complete streets and sustainable mobility planning, to traffic calming and speed management strategies that must function within political, operational, and community constraints. With dedicated networking breaks, a shared lunch, and time set aside for peer connection, the day is intentionally designed to support both learning and meaningful professional exchange.

A key feature of the afternoon is the Transportation Planning Project of the Year Award presentations, where leading projects are showcased and recognized. This session offers valuable insight into how strong planning ideas are translated into implementable outcomes — and gives participants the opportunity to engage directly with the work shaping communities across Ontario.

Who Should Attend
• Municipal transportation planners and policy professionals
• Transportation engineers and technologists working closely with planning teams
• Consultants supporting transportation master plans, corridor studies, and area plans
• Active transportation, traffic calming, and speed management practitioners
• Public health, equity, and community design professionals involved in mobility planning
• Decision-makers and elected officials seeking practical, implementable planning solutions
• Anyone involved in developing, reviewing, or implementing transportation plans and studies

Why Attend
Participants will gain:
• Practical insight into current planning tools, guidelines, and approaches being applied across Ontario
• Lessons learned from real transportation plans and studies, including challenges and trade-offs
• Actionable strategies related to traffic calming, speed management, and proactive planning
• Opportunities to build lasting connections with peers facing similar planning realities

The Transportation Planning Symposium delivers a full day of applied learning, professional connection, and sector insight.
