Your Ideas Can Shape the Future of Urban Mobility

We're calling on undergraduate and graduate students across Canada — this is your moment.

The Transit Data Challenge at the TransitData Symposium is a first-of-its-kind opportunity to tackle real problems. Whether you're studying urban planning, data science, engineering, computer science, public policy, or anything in between — if you care about how people move through cities, we want to hear from you.

Transit is at a crossroads, and the data to drive smarter decisions has never been more abundant.

What's missing is bold, fresh thinking — yours.

Join a community of researchers, industry leaders, and fellow students who are passionate about building transit systems that are faster, fairer, and more sustainable. Collaborate across disciplines, dig into real transit datasets, and present solutions that could influence how millions of people commute, connect, and live.

This isn't just a competition — it's a launchpad.
