Iain DOBSON

Biographical note
Iain Dobson has devoted the last 16 years of his career to public policy and city building with an emphasis on the importance of aligning development and public transit. Prior to 2000, he spent 25 years in the commercial real estate industry. In 2006, Iain Dobson along with Glenn Miller and the Canadian Urban Institute formed a working not for profit partnership with private and public sector members to develop solutions to the ever growing problem of connecting home to work, growing transit and relieving congestion. This partnership of urban planning and commercial real estate prompted the creation of Strategic Regional Research Alliance (SRRA) to conduct research on the problems of aligning transit infrastructure with development. He currently serves on the Board of Metrolinx. He has also served as a member of the Transit Investment Strategy Advisory Panel, a member of the Civic Action Commercial Building Advisory Panel, and on the expert panel on the Sheppard Transit Corridor.
