DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 10 for a presentation by Dr. Willem Klumpenhouwer on quantitatively measuring equity in transportation! \nMore about the talk: There is a growing desire from governments\, agencies\, and advocates to explicitly incorporate concepts of equity and transportation justice into the transportation planning process. One emerging effort in the industry is to develop and implement quantitative ways of measuring equity in the context of long-term planning and scenario evaluation. In this presentation we will look at how we can evaluate existing and future conditions through a quantitative\, equity-focused lens and incorporate these measures into business cases and long-term planning exercises. \nDate: April 10\, 2024 \nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm \nLocation: Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB T2R 0E3) \nCost: \nIn-Person Options: \n\n$20 Public Agency Members (in Calgary)\n$30 ITE Members (in Calgary)\n$40 Non-ITE Members (in Calgary)\n$15 Student (in Calgary)\n$20 Public Agency Members (in Calgary)\n$20 ITE Members (in Lethbridge)\n$25 Non ITE Members (in Lethbridge)\n\nOnline: \n\n $15 All Members and Non-Members\n\nSponsorship \n\n$650 Sponsorship\n\nNote that this year\, in an effort to accommodate more transportation professionals across our province (especially those in Lethbridge)\, we’re offering additional attendance options.

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto: Vehicle for Hire Data Management
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Matthew Lee to learn more about the Vehicle-for-Hire data management. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for networking and discussion with fellow engineers. In recent years\, the Big Data Innovation Team has collaborated with Municipal Licensing and Standards to examine the impacts of Vehicles for Hire and Private Transportation Companies on Toronto’s Transportation Network\, including congestion\, equity\, transit\, and curb usage. Subsequently\, Council mandated additional datasets on the Vehicle-for-Hire industry starting in 2020. \nThe aim of this presentation is to elucidate how the introduction of Private Transportation Companies (PTCs) in Toronto has influenced travel patterns and behavior in the city\, and to comprehend its effect on the operation of the city’s street networks. This presentation will detail the methods employed in the analysis and the findings\, as well as the outcomes subsequent to the presentation of these analyses to Toronto City Council. \nSpeaker\n\nMatt is a Project Manager in the Transportation Data and Analytics team at the City of Toronto. Matt brings 15 years of experience in the transportation planning sector\, specializing in areas including transit service planning\, multimodal transportation planning in urban growth centres\, and more recently in transportation data analytics. In his current role\, Matt manages emerging mobility projects\, particularly around data management and policy analysis of taxi and ride-hail data. His professional direction is to continue to apply his technical experience and leadership in transportation planning to promote greater transportation choice\, enhance urban vibrancy\, and shape complete communities and streets. \n \n \nPlease register and join the presentation via Teams on April 12th at 1:00pm EST by clicking the watch icon button.

SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver: ITE & PIBC Mixer - How Can Transportation Engineers and Planners Move Equity From Rhetoric to Reality?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Tessa Williams (RPP\, MSc) to learn more about the new report “Practices and inspiration for sustainable transportation equity: Case studies from Canadian cities.” Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for networking and discussion with fellow engineers and planners. \nNearly 1 million Canadians live in transportation poverty\, where their ability to access opportunities is limited by inadequate\, unsafe\, or unaffordable transportation options. City builders are recognizing that the way transportation has been planned\, designed\, and delivered is unfair and needs to change. The big question facing the transportation community is no longer whether to take action towards equity\, but how. The Report\, created by a team of transportation practitioners\, equity experts\, and researchers from across Canada\, the report shares promising practices to apply equity throughout the project life cycle\, from policy and strategy to learning and evaluation. The report has been featured by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)\, Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP)\, and Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP). \nTessa is transportation planner with Urban Systems with over four years of experience across three different provinces. She leverages her unique background in local government and research to contribute to active transportation\, land use\, transit\, parking\, and equity projects. Tessa served as research lead for the PISTE project\, with the goal of developing a report by and for transportation practitioners. \nWednesday\, April 17\n5:30-5:45 people arrive and get settled (in the presentation room)\n5:45-6:30 Tessa presentation and question time\n6:30-8 networking in the FUNK venue \nVenue:\nFUNK.
