COMPLETE COMMUNITIES

Integrating Transportation and Land Use Planning

May 26, 2025

WELCOME

On behalf of the Local Arrangements Committee and the Atlantic Canada Section of ITE, we are delighted to welcome you to the ITE Canada 2025 Annual Conference here in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

It’s an honour to host this year’s event and to welcome transportation professionals, students, and leaders from across North America. Halifax— known for its maritime charm, coastal beauty, and strong sense of community—offers the perfect setting for this year’s theme, Complete Communities: Integrating Transportation and Land Use Planning.

This theme speaks to the essential work we do in shaping vibrant, connected, and resilient communities. As we plan and design for the future, the integration of land use and transportation is key to building places where people truly want to live, work, and thrive.

Over the next few days, we hope you’ll enjoy the technical sessions, local tours, and networking events—and take some time to experience the best of the East Coast lifestyle: warm hospitality, stunning waterfront views, and a city full of character.

Thank you for being here, and thank you for the work you do to move our communities forward.

From all of us on the LAC—welcome to ITE Canada 2025!

Your Conference Co-Chairs,

Hannah McBride Halifax Regional Municipality

Courtney Pyne WSP

Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. We acknowledge them as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land on which we gather and thank them for their stewardship.

Canada’s community of transportation professionals

Welcome to our Annual Conference in beautiful Halifax! This year’s theme— COMPLETE COMMUNITIES: Integrating Transportation and Land-Use Planning—is especially timely as the region prepares for rapid population growth. You’ll see this vision permeate through our opening remarks, technical sessions, and tours, all focused on building accessible, equitable, and safe mobility for everyone.

The Local Arrangements Committee (LAC), National Technical Program Committee (NTPC), ITE Canada staff, and countless volunteers have put together a rich technical program and plenty of social events to ensure a memorable conference. There are so many highlights I’m looking forward to:

Kick-off Keynote: Kate Greene and Adam Lanigan (Halifax Regional Municipality) will lead an engaging discussion—planner meets engineer—on the challenges of creating thriving new communities while balancing competing objectives on Monday morning.

Technical Program: With presentations, posters, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, the lineup covers a diverse range of topics and formats. You’re sure to find sessions that spark new ideas every day. Make sure to join us for a Vision Zero and Safe System panel on Monday hosted in collaboration with our partners at the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP).

Social Events:

• New to ITE Canada? Join us at the First Timers’ Reception on Sunday to meet peers, mentors, and future collaborators.

• Cheer on our record turnout of 11 student teams in Monday’s Traffic Bowl, then head to the Play Street and Student Mixer for an evening of food, laughter, and waterfront views.

• Our Tuesday Annual Banquet will be a fun taste of the east coast with a delicious buffet dinner and toe-tapping tunes from a live band.

Have a fantastic conference and enjoy everything Halifax has to offer! I’m very much looking forward to meeting you all, so please come find me and say hello.

Cheers!

Pedram Izadpanah President, ITE Canada

The Impact of Parking Regulation on Housing Affordability

This panel will explore the relationship between housing affordability and parking. The removal of residential parking regulations in Canada has shown promise in addressing housing affordability challenges. By eliminating minimum parking requirements, cities like Edmonton and Vancouver have enabled developers to create housing by reducing or eliminating the added costs of constructing parking spaces. These savings can then be passed down to tenants and buyers, contributing to more affordable housing options with savings particularly notable for supportive housing. However, the long-term impact depends on continued adaptation to the diverse needs of residents and the adoption of complementary measures like transit.
