Transportation modelling continues to play a critical role in shaping infrastructure investment, land-use decisions, and policy outcomes — but as networks grow more complex, so do the expectations placed on modelling tools and the professionals who rely on them.

The Transportation Modelling Symposium brings together practitioners, decision-makers, and technical specialists to explore how macro-, meso-, and microsimulation models are being applied in real-world projects across Ontario and beyond. Through practical case studies and applied examples, this symposium examines not just how models are built, but why specific modelling approaches are selected, what information they are designed to generate, and how results are ultimately used to inform decisions.

Sessions will highlight current modelling challenges — including congestion, evolving data requirements, emerging technologies, and increasing demands for transparency — while demonstrating how modelling outputs can be effectively communicated to senior leadership, elected officials, and non-technical audiences. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the strengths, limitations, and appropriate applications of different modelling techniques, and how modelling insights translate into defensible recommendations and project outcomes.

Whether you work directly with transportation models or rely on their outputs to guide planning, design, or policy decisions, this symposium provides valuable context, clarity, and practical insight into the role modelling plays in today’s transportation environment.

Who Should Attend
• Transportation engineers, planners, and modelers
• Municipal, provincial, and consulting professionals involved in transportation studies
• Managers and senior staff who review, approve, or rely on modelling outputs
• Professionals responsible for communicating technical findings to decision-makers or the public
• Anyone seeking a clearer understanding of how transportation modelling supports project and policy decisions

Why Attend
This symposium offers a rare opportunity to step back from day-to-day technical work and examine transportation modelling from an applied, decision-focused perspective. By connecting modelling theory with real project applications, attendees will leave better equipped to select appropriate modelling approaches, interpret results with confidence, and use modelling insights to support clear, evidence-based decisions in an increasingly complex transportation landscape.

The Transportation Modelling Symposium provides a practical, real-world look at how modelling supports better transportation decisions — from early planning and policy development to detailed design and operational analysis. By showcasing applied examples across macro, meso, and microsimulation levels, this symposium helps demystify complex modelling approaches and connects technical analysis to meaningful outcomes. Attendees will leave with greater confidence in selecting, interpreting, and communicating modelling results, enabling stronger recommendations, clearer decision-making, and more defensible project outcomes in today’s increasingly complex transportation environment.
