Moving from Transit Provider to Mobility ManagerJosh Colle The rapidly shifting mobility landscape will force cities and public transit agencies to shift their traditional focus and service delivery models. New mobility options, changing user expectations, emerging technologies, and potential partnerships will present challenges and opportunities that transit providers can only address by renewing their business and governance models. Will governments get ahead of this wave or be swamped by it? |

Workshop A – Your Brain on Contracts: Overcoming Diverse Cognitive Biases in P3 Contracts and their Management
Robert Pattison
Senior Vice President, Dispute Resolution
Infrastructure Ontario
What is it about?
(Registration opens at 8:30 am) Urban transit P3 projects are fiendishly complex. Project teams include experts from a variety of specialist disciplines including planning,vengineering, architecture, operations, finance, legal, and management. Stakeholders include riders as well as various levels of government, utilities, regulators, neighboring business owners and local residents. Naturally, a large number of interests arise for these players. First, it is challenging to identify all stakeholder needs and address their wants during drafting of procurement documents and project agreements; then to enforce these contracts during the delivery phase. This workshop will provide attendees with an overview of conceptual tools which will assist to reconcile and give effect to these needs and wants. Participants will be introduced to concepts such as:- Signal v Noise – Is “Broken Telephone” universal?
- The science of incomplete information – Using game theory to Identify players, actions, and outcomes
- Set theory and formal logic: Say what you mean, mean what you say
- Mental models and cognitive biases: What’s a chicken?
- Complexity: Round trip travel times and Feigenbaum’s first constant
- English Usage: Don’t even get me started on the comma
- I am wrong 55 to 60% of the time: Ego, defensiveness and dispute resolution
Workshop B – Delivering Transformation: Transit Projects as City Builder

What is it about?
(Registration opens at 12:30 pm) In this workshop, you are invited to a candid conversation about how transit project delivery is priming urban growth. It is a privilege to participate in delivering improved access to transit and influence the transformation of our city. The scale of transit projects shape our urban fabric and, ultimately, the way we live for decades to come. Hence, it is a legacy that requires bold yet thoughtful actions. In the context of changing transit delivery parameters, we will consider…- The way that transit delivery is changing our typical approaches
- The long-term planning implications of decisions being made and the unknowns
- The importance of clarity, alignment, and consistency in planning policies and processes that determine predictability of positive outcomes
- The value of maintaining champions, partnerships, and alliances in achieving long-term goals
- The mind sets and skill sets critical to surviving and thriving in the transit project delivery environment
- Taking into account policy trends at the municipal, provincial and federal level, especially as related to funding
- Aligning your transit plans internally with overarching community goals
- Engaging with the public and including their input
