The pandemic has had a major impact on transportation, including prompting a massive shift towards working from home. At the outset of the public health crisis, one in ten Canadians traded their work commutes for a home office to ensure social distancing. With the remote work trend presenting major challenges and opportunities for employers and employees alike, many are asking if mass tele-commuting will endure. Moreover, the remote work trend is reshaping transportation, calling into question long held assumptions about how cities work and how we move.

Join TransLink’s #Transport2050 for a conversation about remote work and transportation. We’ll discuss the trends, impacts, and how remote work can fit into the future of regional transportation.
