There is a need for more research in Canada on the transportation planning needs outside of the largest urban centres, where automobile dependence is high but the availability of sophisticated transportation planning tools and data to support the development of other modes (like transit) is limited.
The Community Transportation Research Lab (CTRL) aims to change this by bringing an engineering lens to partner with communities to help improve their transportation planning practices, with the goal of supporting effective alternatives that can help reduce our dependency on cars while maintaining or enhancing personal mobility.
CTRL focuses on the issues facing smaller urban areas (< 200,000 people), and regional and rural areas. It is currently working in four key areas in transportation research:
• Small city, regional and rural transport planning (including active transportation and transit)
• Accessible and on-demand transportation and the built environment
• Post-secondary education travel demand and tourism and employment travel demand
• Older adult health transportation travel demand
The CTRL aims to partner with transportation planning entities within regions and municipalities and involve public, private and non-profit sector transportation providers. It brings together data from partners where innovative analysis techniques will help lead to new discoveries from existing data.
