The “last mile” is the trek commuters make between a major transit station and home or work, across a gap in public transit. As the GTHA is expected to grow by three million people over the next 25 years, this often-arduous “last mile” experience needs to be solved. We hosted this meet-up on September 20, 2016 for over 150 people, with moderator Steve Paikin of TVO’s The Agenda.
