SUMMARY:ITE National Capital Section: 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday\, May 15\, 2026 \n\n9:00 AM: Doors open + networking\n9:30 AM: Welcome + breakfast\n10:00 AM: Ata M. Khan Lifetime Achievement Award Presentation\n10:15 AM: Project of Year Award + Presentation\n11:00 AM: Closing + networking\n\nWhere: Britannia Yacht Club\, 2777 Cassels St\, Ottawa\, ON \n==Registration closes May 12\, 2026 at noon== \nAta M. Khan Award 2026 Recipient\nBassam Hamwi\, M.Eng. P.Eng. \nBassam earned his Bachelor of Engineering and Master’s degrees from Carleton University in 1991 and 1993\, respectively. Throughout a distinguished 33-year tenure in the consulting industry\, he held progressive leadership roles\, culminating in his appointment as Vice President of Transportation Planning at Morrison Hershfield in 2023. Guided by a lifelong commitment to learning and a passion for the early Church tradition\, Bassam is currently pursuing graduate theological studies in Pennsylvania. \nBassam has continuously contributed to the advancement of the profession. He has numerous publications over the years to his credit\, and has been a member of numerous national technical committees including the Transportation Association of Canada’s Connected and Automated Vehicles Integrated Committee; Finance Standing Committee; and Green Guide for Roads Task Force. \nBassam has received a number of awards of excellence during his career\, and was part of a number of local award-winning projects including most notably the “Gold Award” from the Canadian Council for Public Private Partnerships for Ottawa Confederation Line Preliminary Design & Procurement as well as the “Excellence in Planning Award” from the Professional Planners Institute Ottawa Road & Transit Master Plan. \nProject of the Year Award 2026\nOttawa River Transit On-Demand Pilot Service \nIn 2025\, the City of Pembroke launched its first conventional transit service in nearly thirty years. Ottawa River Transit\, an on-demand transit service\, provides residents with access to transit throughout the community. The service operates from Monday to Saturday with a dynamic routing algorithm that allows riders the ability to book their trip as little as 15 minutes beforehand. Since launching in August\, the response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive with more than 15\,000 rides completed. The early success of the service can be attributed to developing a right-sized solution for the community and a robust and on-going communications plan. \nPresenter: Angela Lochtie \nAngela Lochtie is the Director of Corporate Services (Treasurer/Deputy Clerk) and now Transit Liaison for the City of Pembroke\, where she brings financial leadership\, municipal expertise\, and a practical belief that good ideas need more than spreadsheets to succeed. Her passion for transit started long before Ottawa River Transit. As a university student in Montreal and later a young professional in Ottawa\, Angela relied on public transit because\, like many people starting out\, she had big goals\, big student loans\, and no money for a car. When she moved to the Ottawa Valley with her young family about 15 years ago\, she recognized that while the region is a beautiful place to live\, transportation can be a real barrier. She championed this project because she understands firsthand that affordable transit is more than a ride — it is access to jobs\, education\, community\, and opportunity. That is what made Ottawa River Transit so important to her: the belief that affordable transportation helps level the playing field and opens the door to connection\, employment\, and belonging for everyone. Everyone deserves a way to get to where they want to go. \nPresenter: Jordan Papazoglou\, P.Eng. \nJordan Papazoglou\, P.Eng is a Senior Transit Innovator at Left Turn Right Turn (LTRT) with experience in working with small and rural communities like Pembroke and North Grenville to develop and improve their transit systems. Jordan and LTRT have supported the City of Pembroke over the past two years in launching their transit service. \n  \n

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Luncheon: Human Factors and Traffic Engineering - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bridging Human Factors and Traffic Engineering to Improve Road Safety \nHuman factors play a foundational role in transportation safety\, shaping how road users perceive\, interpret\, and respond to the roadway environment. Despite advances in geometric design\, traffic control\, and safety analysis\, many collisions still arise from mismatches between roadway design and human capabilities or limitations. Modern safety philosophies such as the Safe System and Vision Zero frameworks emphasize creating transportation networks that anticipate real-world human behavior and minimize the consequences of error. \nWhile traditional traffic engineering focuses on geometric design and regulatory compliance\, it can overlook elements such as driver perception\, cognitive workload\, and decision-making. This presentation will demonstrate how integrating Human Factors and Traffic Engineering expertise can improve safety outcomes. Through case studies and applied research\, we will explore how behavioral insights combined with engineering analysis can identify latent risks\, enhance intersection design\, and support the implementation of cost effective countermeasures. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 12\, 2026 \nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm MST \nLocation: Sandman Hotel Calgary\, 888 7 Ave. SW\, Calgary\, AB T2P 3J3 Canada \n==The deadline to register is 5 pm on May 5\, 2026== \n  \nPresenter Bios: \n \nJason Kumagai\, M.Sc.\, CCPE\, CHFP – Practice Lead\, Human Factors \nJason Kumagai is Practice Lead of the Human Factors group at 30 Forensic Engineering. During his career in Human Factors\, Jason has conducted and managed projects and research in Human Factors in a wide range of industries including energy\, health care\, transportation\, defence\, and mining. Specializing in fatigue risk management\, he has helped companies develop and implement fatigue risk management programs\, including investigations of major accidents. Jason is a certified Human Factors/ Ergonomics professional in both Canada and the U.S. and is nationally recognized for his leadership in Human Factors and Fatigue Management.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Luncheon - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study\nJoin the ITE Northern Alberta section on May 6\, 2026 for a presentation on this topic from EXP and Leduc County. \nThis presentation presents the findings of the Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study in Leduc County\, Alberta. Unlike conventional planning processes where transportation networks are designed to support pre-established land uses\, this study adopted a reverse approach—using transportation planning as the foundational framework to shape future land development. The study focused on the proposed extension of 170th Street\, a strategic north-south corridor connecting the ASP area with the regional network\, providing access to key destinations including the Edmonton International Airport\, Queen Elizabeth II Highway\, surrounding industrial hubs\, and nearby communities like the City of Edmonton\, the City of Leduc and other communities. \nThrough a comprehensive analysis of regional connectivity\, functional classification scenarios\, extensive coordination with relevant stakeholders\, and traffic modeling\, 170th Street Extension was proposed as a four-lane rural divided arterial. This classification was selected to balance regional mobility with local accessibility\, enabling phased development of the ASP while minimizing environmental and community impacts. The proposed 170th alignment followed Whitemud Creek and was proposed for its ability to optimize developable land\, reduce constructability risks\, minimize creek crossings and avoid conflicts with existing landmarks and infrastructure. \nForecasted traffic volumes and trip generation estimates were used to define access strategies and internal street networks\, ensuring that land use intensity remained within the operational capacity of the proposed transportation infrastructure\, without needing major network upgrades outside of 170th Street. \nThis study demonstrates the value of transportation-led planning in shaping efficient land development considering infrastructure constraints and jurisdictional complexity. \nDATE: Wednesday May 6\, 2026 \nTIME: 11:45am – 1:00pm \nLOCATION: University Club\, University of Alberta\, 11435 Saskatchewan Dr. NW\, Edmonton\, AB \nREGISTRATION: Regular pricing is active until Friday\, May 1. Late registration charges will apply beginning at 12 noon\, May 1st. \nPlease note that photos/videos may be taken during the event and may be used internally or for promotional purposes by the ITE Northern Alberta Section. If you do not wish to be photographed\, please contact northernalberta@itecanada.org. \nAbout the Presenters:\nDes Mryglod\, P.

X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=DESCRIPTION:Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study\nJoin the ITE Northern Alberta section on May 6 2026 for a presentation on this topic from EXP and Leduc County. \nThis presentation presents the findings of the Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study in Leduc County Alberta. Unlike conventional planning processes where transportation networks are designed to support pre-established land uses this study adopted a reverse approach—using transportation planning as the foundational framework to shape future land development. The study focused on the proposed extension of 170th Street a strategic north-south corridor connecting the ASP area with the regional network providing access to key destinations including the Edmonton International Airport Queen Elizabeth II Highway surrounding industrial hubs and nearby communities like the City of Edmonton the City of Leduc and other communities. \nThrough a comprehensive analysis of regional connectivity functional classification scenarios extensive coordination with relevant stakeholders and traffic modeling 170th Street Extension was proposed as a four-lane rural divided arterial. This classification was selected to balance regional mobility with local accessibility enabling phased development of the ASP while minimizing environmental and community impacts. The proposed 170th alignment followed Whitemud Creek and was proposed for its ability to optimize developable land reduce constructability risks minimize creek crossings and avoid conflicts with existing landmarks and infrastructure. \nForecasted traffic volumes and trip generation estimates were used to define access strategies and internal street networks ensuring that land use intensity remained within the operational capacity of the proposed transportation infrastructure without needing major network upgrades outside of 170th Street. \nThis study demonstrates the value of transportation-led planning in shaping efficient land development considering infrastructure constraints and jurisdictional complexity. \nDATE: Wednesday May 6 2026 \nTIME: 11:45am – 1:00pm \n University Club University of Alberta 11435 Saskatchewan Dr. NW Edmonton AB \nREGISTRATION: Regular pricing is active until Friday May 1.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: December 2025 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Bicycle Urbanism\nJoin the ITE Northern Alberta section on December 8\, 2025 for a presentation on this topic. \nAround the world\, cities are discovering that the bicycle is far more than a recreational tool. It is a catalyst for cleaner air\, healthier communities\, stronger local economies\, and streets that feel alive. It offers a transportation choice that is efficient\, climate conscious\, people focused\, and surprisingly powerful in shaping the character of a city. The question for Edmonton is simple yet provocative: are we ready to embrace cycling as a fully legitimate and valued way to move? \nThis presentation invites participants to imagine what becomes possible when we treat cycling as a core part of our transportation system rather than an add-on. \nCyril Balitbit from Al Terra will share insights grounded in the Neighbourhood Renewal program in Edmonton\, the evolution of local cycling infrastructure\, and recent immersive learning experiences in leading European cycling cities. The session connects global practice with local opportunity and highlights the design strategies and cultural shifts that create cities where cycling truly works for everyone. \nParticipants will be encouraged to approach the future of active mobility in Edmonton with optimism\, curiosity\, and confidence\, envisioning a city that moves more freely\, sustainably\, and with a stronger sense of community. \nDATE: Monday December 8\, 2025 \nTIME: 11:45am – 1:00pm \nLOCATION: University Club\, University of Alberta\, 11435 Saskatchewan Dr. NW\, Edmonton\, AB \nPlease note: The Luncheon will take place in the Papaschase Room (up the stairs to the right). \nAbout the Presenter:\nCyril Balitbit\, P.Eng.\, PMP\, PgMP\, ENV SP \nManager\, Urban Design & Renewal \n \nCy heads the Urban Design and Renewal team at Al-Terra\, focusing on resilience and sustainability. His work focuses on climate change resilience\, sustainable mobility\, urban renewal\, and open space design\, prioritizing environmental sustainability and community well-being for a better future. \nCy and his team focus on creating vibrant\, inclusive spaces using Low Impact Development (LID) and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

He just completed Leadership ITE\, sits on the Consultants Council and on the Sandbox Competition Organizing/Judging team. \nKeynote Presentation: Understanding and Designing Effective Mobility Hubs\nMobility hubs are often mistaken for transit stations\, but they serve a broader purpose—connecting people to a variety of sustainable transportation options. Unlike traditional transit stations that primarily facilitate foot traffic into shared vehicles\, mobility hubs are designed to support seamless transfers across multiple modes\, such as bike share\, car rentals\, and repair services. This versatility makes them more inclusive and responsive to diverse mobility needs. \nEffective mobility hubs are built on three key principles: multimodal access\, ease of connectivity\, and appropriate scale. They offer transportation choices for every stage of a journey—starting\, continuing\, and ending—while ensuring users can move easily between modes. Design features like clear access paths and right-sized infrastructure help make these hubs reliable and sustainable. With growing public interest in accessible and affordable transport\, mobility hubs present a practical solution for improving community mobility and reducing reliance on personal vehicles.

SUMMARY:[ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar] Island Platform Bus Stops - Emerging Trends\, Technologies & Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:Registration closes on Wednesday\, September 24. 1.5 Professional Development Hours/Credits (PDH) will be available for this webinar. \nIn 2024\, TransLink\, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTT)\, developed the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure (download here\, PDF 14.8 MB) to provide province-wide design guidance for “island platform bus stops” or “floating bus stops” in British Columbia.  The award-winning Design Guide provides a comprehensive set of planning and engineering guidelines offering solutions for the planning\, design\, operation\, and maintenance of bus stops adjacent to protected cycling infrastructure in a range of contexts and applications throughout British Columbia\, along with guidance for education and engagement.  However\, the Design Guide was not able to address all of the issues identified by people with disabilities\, notably\, the ability to detect a person cycling approach and the ability to have confidence that a person cycling has stopped. \nSince the Design Guide was published in 2024\, the design of island platform bus stops has continued to evolve across Canada and internationally as practitioners advance their understanding of accessibility needs within a North American context\, with treatments such as on-board announcements\, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)\, bicycle signals\, tactile wayfinding\, and other technologies being explored in various jurisdictions.  This virtual session will provide an update on emerging trends and technologies for island platform bus stops along with lessons learned from Canada\, the United States\, and internationally. \nThe webinar will be led by Brian Patterson (Urban Systems) and Dylan Passmore (Street Matters) along with staff from the City of Montreal\, City of New Westminster\, District of Saanich\, and TransLink.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: September 2025 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Edmonton’s Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards (CSDCS): What’s New\, Changed and Different\nIn 2023\, the City of Edmonton began the first major update to the Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards (CSDCS) since its publication in 2018. While minor updates have been carried out over the last 7 years\, this represents the first major revision to align with evolving best practice around active modes\, pedestrian safety\, accessibility\, and the City Plan. \nAs work wraps up on finalizing the updated document for publication this fall\, the presentation will highlight the major changes to the CSDCS. From improvements to cross sections to enhance constructability\, to integrating traffic safety and calming into new streets\, to enhancing active modes\, come learn what is new\, what has changed\, and what has been retired. \nAbout the Presenters:\nMatthew Ivany\, P.Eng (City of Edmonton) \n \n  \nMatthew is currently the Supervisor of Transportation Design with the City of Edmonton and has over 17 years of diverse experience ranging from strategy to construction for projects varying from active mode connections to highways and interchange design in both the private and public sector. Matthew and his team of Engineers and Technologists are responsible for the planning and design of transportation infrastructure within the City of Edmonton.\n \nMatthew graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering and moved to Edmonton in 2008.  He has worked for Alberta Transportation and the consultant industry before joining the City in 2013.  Matthew is also an active member with the Transportation Association of Canada Geometric Design Committee. \n  \n  \nJack Niepsuj\, P.Eng (CIMA+) \n \nJack joined CIMA+ in 2019\, and now leads the transportation and highway engineering group as a Director and Senior Project Manager in the Edmonton office.
