The 2025 TAC (Transportation Association of Canada) Conference & Exhibition will take place from October 5 to 8 at the Québec City Convention Centre. As Canada’s largest annual gathering on roads, highways, and urban transportation, TAC brings together practitioners, policymakers, and researchers from across the country. This year’s theme, Building a Sustainable Transportation Legacy, explores how we can strengthen resilience in transportation systems through foresight and wisdom.
Mobycon is proud to contribute to this important national conversation, with several of our colleagues sharing their expertise across panels, presentations, and workshops. Our team will be part of several exciting conversations.
Come listen, learn, and meet us along the way!
Our colleague Arianne Robillard will participate in this interactive workshop, which builds on TAC’s recent report on shared micromobility. With presentations and breakout discussions, participants will explore how to apply the findings, promote peer networks, and advance shared mobility services in communities across Canada. Arianne will discuss the topic of regional systems across municipal boundaries.
Matt Pinder and Benita van Miltenburg (City of Guelph) will present lessons from a feasibility study for an all-ages-and-abilities cycling route in Guelph, ON. The project weighed trade-offs between on-street protected lanes and a parallel neighbourhood bikeway, addressing design, political, and community challenges. This session highlights how evaluating alternatives can build support for new approaches while advancing ambitious active transportation networks.
Mobycon’s Suzanne Woo will join a lively panel, moderated by our colleague Matt Pinder, debating whether cyclists should have priority at roundabouts. As Canadian cities increasingly adopt both roundabouts and cycling infrastructure, the discussion will explore the benefits, risks, and practical design considerations for integrating these two elements.
Matt Pinder and Winnie Lai (City of Vaughan) will present on building complete micromobility networks. This session examines the growth of e-bikes, evolving regulations, and the rapid expansion of shared micromobility in Canada. Drawing on international and North American examples, the discussion will offer strategies for cities to proactively plan for long-term success in micromobility.
Narayan Donaldson will present on adapting protected roundabouts for Canadian contexts. Drawing on Dutch and European experience, the session will highlight design principles that enhance safety and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists, while addressing unique North American challenges such as larger vehicles, snow conditions, and differing traffic control rules.
In this French-language session, our colleague Arianne Robillard will share how car-free communities can help address Canada’s housing and affordability challenges. Through examples from Québec and abroad, the presentation will demonstrate how integrated planning, and design can make life without car ownership not only possible, but attractive and sustainable.
In addition to these presentations, Suzanne Woo will co-chair the Vision Zero & Safe Systems Subcommittee meeting, and Matt Pinder will chair the Active Transportation Integrated Committee meeting. These leadership roles underscore Mobycon’s active involvement in advancing sustainable mobility through TAC’s technical committees.
The 2025 TAC Conference & Exhibition promises to be an inspiring and impactful event. If you’re attending, we’d love to connect with you! Reach out to our team members directly or at info@mobycon.com to schedule a meeting or join us at one of the sessions listed above.
