Polytechnique to assess and implement transportation sustainability - Launch

MONTREAL, Oct. 4 /CNW Telbec/ - Extending métro lines, introducing car-sharing and self-serve bicycle systems, building bridges and roads with dedicated bus lanes, re-engineering and improving the safety of intersections and arteries ... How do you anticipate and assess the impacts of such initiatives, taking into account both individual needs and community sustainable-development issues?

To answer this complex question, the Ville de Montréal, Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) and Société de transport de Montréal (STM) have joined forces with École Polytechnique.

The MOBILITÉ Chair will be inaugurated this coming Tuesday, October 5, at 10 a.m. at École Polytechnique de Montréal, in the presence of the project's partners and transportation sector representatives.
