Civic hacknight #367 - Reece Martin, RMTransit (VIRTUAL)

*This is the virtual registration for this event. To attend in person, please RSVP here.

Topic: How North America is turning away from cars (and how Toronto is leading this trend)

For the month of November 2022, Civic Tech Toronto is focusing on the theme of transportation. We've invited technologists, advocates, journalists and public servants to share their perspectives on what it's like to move through Canada's largest city.

On Nov. 8, we are joined by Reece Martin (the RM in RMTransit), an urbanist and public transport critic from Toronto. He'll be discussing how North American cities, and the world more broadly, are moving away from cars, and how upcoming transit projects in Toronto will impact the city.

Join us via Zoom (webcams and mics optional, but encouraged):

• A Zoom link will be made available to everyone who RSVPs!

Speakers:

• Reece Martin is an urbanist and public transport critic residing in Toronto, Canada, with the goal of helping the world become more connected through metros, trams, buses, high-speed trains, and all other transport modes. He is the creator and host of RMTransit, a YouTube channel focused on transit, infrastructure, and development around the world.
