Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3E2 PnP Will Symons Bike Lane Planning
Q: How can councillors and transport teams collaborate more effectively to get bike infrastructure across the line?
By involving councillors early, presenting inclusive, safety-focused rationales, and addressing concerns with data and community input, rather than presenting a fait accompli, which helps counter backlash and builds legitimacy for changes.
S3E2 PnP Will Symons Bike Lane Planning
Q: What were the main barriers councils faced, and how did your thesis address them?
He cites the burden of proof favoring car infrastructure, resistance to change, and the need to align projects with local and state policies—advocating for engaging, early dialogue and using evidence-based, community-informed design to improve uptake.
S3E2 PnP Will Symons Bike Lane Planning
Q: What made you interested in doing a thesis on this topic? Why does it matter to you now?
Will explains that his interest grew from observing the gap between policy and practice in cycling infrastructure and the need to empower local governments and communities to voice concerns and shape safer, more walkable and bikeable neighborhoods.
S2E30 PnP Todd Litman Embracing Multimodal Transport
Q: What practical steps can local governments take to shift toward more walkable and multimodal neighborhoods?
Suggestions include removing off-street parking mandates, increasing investment in sidewalks and bikeways, improving walk scores as an accessibility tool, and designing streets and neighborhoods that support wheelchairs, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users alike.
S2E30 PnP Todd Litman Embracing Multimodal Transport
Q: What motivated you to focus on multimodal transportation and the mobility-productivity paradox?
Todd explains that his work grew from personal experience of living without a car and professional research showing that automobile-centric systems often underperform economically compared to well-designed multimodal systems; the paradox challenges the assumption that more driving always leads to higher productivity.
