Topic: How North America is turning away from cars (and how Toronto is leading this trend)

For the month of November 2022, Civic Tech Toronto is focusing on the theme of transportation. We’ve invited technologists, advocates, journalists and public servants to share their perspectives on what it’s like to move through Canada’s largest city.

On Nov. 8, we are joined by Reece Martin (the RM in RMTransit), an urbanist and public transport critic from Toronto. He’ll be discussing how North American cities, and the world more broadly, are moving away from cars, and how upcoming transit projects in Toronto will impact the city.

Join us in person: We’re in the Civic Innovation Office at City Hall (100 Queen St W). Enter through the main doors and turn right at the rotunda. Our in-person venue is limited to 25 people and we encourage all attendees to wear masks.
