New APTA Practicum Explores International Financing Models
APTA’s in-depth, interactive workshop to explore emerging international funding and financing strategies will feature five public transit policy and investment experts in addition to agency and business leaders. The practicum is June 12-13 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, immediately before the annual Rail Conference.
Giving the keynote addresses are George Hazel, author and former member of the UK Secretary of State for Transport’s Steering Group for National Road User Charging, who will discuss “Capturing the Value of Public Transportation,” and policy expert Anne Golden, who will explore “Breaking the Political Gridlock to Fund Transit: The Toronto Experience.” Golden is chair of the Ontario Transit Investment Strategy Advisory Panel and a scholar with the Woodrow Wilson Center.
Confirmed speakers include Julian Ware, senior principal, Transport for London, UK; Gunnar Soderholm, director, Environmental and Health Administration, city of Stockholm, Sweden; and Takao Nishayama, director, Japan Railways Company, Tokyo, among many others.
The meeting will feature panel discussions, case studies, and keynote addresses organized in a program that balances policy sessions with best practices. It is co-hosted by the Canadian Urban Transit Association, with support from the International Association of Public Transport (UITP).
