Dear Carfree Colleague:
 
Congestion charging. Priced networks. High Occupancy Toll Lanes.
 
These road
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?HealthyTransportCons/c0efe92eff/5559daf47d/81ae3c5a
ea> pricing systems are being implemented internationally in order to fight
traffic congestion, reduce pollution and generate dedicated revenues for
sustainable transportation infrastructure.  Yet, when the discussion begins,
road tolls are usually described as "controversial", "audacious",
"explosive" and even "radioactive".  A recent Ontario poll
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?HealthyTransportCons/c0efe92eff/5559daf47d/dd247611
d8>  has confirmed the findings of many other domestic and international
opinion surveys:  the majority of citizens yearn for a much improved
transportation network to serve their needs but are reluctant to pay for it
in a direct manner.
 
With the help of our delegates and partners, Transport
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?HealthyTransportCons/c0efe92eff/5559daf47d/13cdf9b9
f4> Futures has been exploring this conundrum since our inaugural forum in
November 2008.  Now a perfect storm of economic, social and environmental
challenges compels us to continue our non-partisan discussion by examining
the critical role of leadership and road pricing.  In order to get insights
from the front lines, we have invited these prominent
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?HealthyTransportCons/c0efe92eff/5559daf47d/73100c43
9e> politicians from across North America:

*	Bruce Starr, Senator & Chair, Road User Fee Task Force, Oregon State
Legislature, Oregon 

*	Melissa Mark-Viverito, Council Member, New York City Council, New
York 

*	Peter Fassbender, Mayor, City of Langley & Chair, TransLink Mayors'
Council on Regional Transportation, BC 

*	Emil Kolb, Chair, Peel Region, Ontario 

*	Gilles Bisson, MPP & Transportation Critic, Ontario New Democratic
Party 

*	Frank Klees, MPP & Transportation Critic, Ontario Progressive
Conservative Party 

*	Peter Milczyn, Councillor, City of Toronto, Ontario   

*	Joyce Frustaglio, Regional Councillor, City of Vaughan & Chair, York
Region Transit, Ontario 

These officials, along with three others to be confirmed soon, have agreed
to answer a broad range of road pricing questions, including:

*	Why do they support road pricing in the face of widespread
opposition?  Why not? 

*	How do they communicate road pricing benefits and/or costs to their
constituents? 

*	What can we learn from their varied experiences? 

Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear first-hand how American
politicians have "taken the heat" for adding road pricing to their
transportation tool kit - and from Canadian politicians who are (or aren't)
considering them.
