This month's A&WMA Vancouver Island Chapter's Luncheon   Presentation 

Win-Win Emission Reductions

When: Tuesday, September 28, 2010,  11:30 - 13:10

Where: Cedar Hill Golf Course, 1400 Derby Road, Victoria, B.C.

Who:  Todd Litman,
Victoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtpi.org). 

RSVP:  Email Markus by 3 P.M. on the Friday before the luncheon to AWMAinformation@gmail.com.

Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective, technically feasible market reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. They provide many economic, social and environmental benefits. If implemented to the degree economically justified, Win-Win Solutions could achieve the transport component of Kyoto emission reduction targets while helping to address problems such as traffic congestion, accidents and inadequate mobility for non-drivers, and supporting economic development. This presentation discusses the Win-Win concept and describes various Win-Win strategies.

Todd Litman is founder and executive director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, an independent research organization dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transport problems. His work helps expand the range of impacts and options considered in transportation decision-making, improve evaluation methods, and make specialized technical concepts accessible to a larger audience. His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analysis.  More details at  www.vtpi.org/documents/resume.pdf
