 Canada’s federal and provincial governments do not provide clear or consistent guidance on how to identify and support communities that are disadvantaged with regard to transportation. By bringing together diverse audiences, workshop activities enabled participants to work towards a shared vision of the meaning of a socially equitable transport system in the Canadian context, enabling discussion on how new technologies can advance that vision. A forthcoming report synthesizes these discussions for public and professional audiences. 

 Participants helped identify the research needs of transportation agencies, community groups, and transport technology firms with regard to social equity and new technologies.  The process of identifying research needs with stakeholders created opportunities for students and emerging scholars to share their research and their ideas.  Workshop activities helped build relationships across institutions, fostering forthcoming research partnerships and policy consultation efforts that aim to improve the practice of transport equity analysis throughout Canada.
