SUMMARY:ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar: Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This webinar is now at capacity.  \nTransLink\, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI)\, recently retained Urban Systems to create the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure (download here\, PDF 14.8 MB) to provide province-wide guidance to develop “island platform bus stops” or “floating bus stops” in British Columbia.  The 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. This Design Guide is the first of its kind in North America and addresses a significant gap in knowledge on how to design bus stops to meet the needs of people with disabilities while also being comfortable for cyclists of all ages and abilities. The Design Guide was developed with extensive stakeholder engagement\, including pilot projects in five municipalities in British Columbia. The Design Guide was awarded both the ITE Canada Stan Teply Outstanding Technical Project Award and the ITE International Transportation Achievement Award – Planning Award in 2024. \nThis virtual session will provide an overview of the Design Guide as well as lessons learned from municipal staff from two case study communities. \nRegistration for this webinar is FREE for current ITE and CARSP members. Non-members are welcome to purchase a ticket. \nPresenters\nBrian Patterson\, RPP\, MCIP\, PMP\, RSP1 \nSenior Planner\, Urban Systems \n \nBrian is a senior transportation and brings over 20 years of experience in active transportation planning and design\, multi-modal transportation planning\, and safety and accessibility. Brian has developed over hundreds of plans\, designs\, and studies for communities of all sizes across Canada and has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Brian led the development of the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adajcent to Cycling Infrastructure and has led numerous other design guides\, including the BC Active Transportation Design Guide. \n  \nSuzanne Therrien\, MPH \nActive Transportation Planner\, City of Kelowna \n\nSuzanne is an Active Transportation Planner at the City of Kelowna. Her work focuses on programs\, resources and partnerships to promote more trips by active modes. She holds a Master degree in Public Health with specialty in population health and has over decade experience in active transportation research. \n  \n  \n  \nMo Bot\, RPP\, PMP \nProject Manager\, Public Realm Infrastructure\, City of North Vancouver \n\nMo is a collaboratively-minded project manager specializing in multimodal transportation policy development\, infrastructure design and construction. Mo has worked across Canada on everything from big city major transit projects to site specific high impact public realm and active mobility improvements. They are always keen to hear all perspectives and strive to support physical and social spaces where learning and justice are centred. Rather than give everyone a space at the table\, Mo invites you to smash the table to pieces and build something new that explores the collective experience together.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZTVlNjAwOWYtNjQ2MC00ZjY2LThlOWMtYzViNGY1ZjhhNzZi%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22875688ea-8b21-4b98-b25b-4b81851ad72d%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%224a3ba1e2-3eaf-46fd-a2aa-5dc1b59160ca%22%7d\n

Details will be shared with attendees after the event. \nWe are excited to invite you to the ITE Toronto Summer Luncheon happening on Thursday\, June 27\, 2024! This event will be a wonderful opportunity to network\, enjoy a buffet-styled lunch\, and gain insights from two distinguished speakers in the fields of transportation and urban planning. \nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, June 27\, 2024\nTime: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: University of Toronto’s Hart House – Music Room (Room 2006) \nSpeakers and Presentations: \nNaama Blonder\, B.Arch\, OAA\, RPP – “Pro-Housing\, Pro-Transit\, Pro-People” \nNaama Blonder\, an architect and urban planner renowned as this year’s RBC Women of Influence\, will deliver an inspiring presentation focusing on innovative architectural and urban design strategies aimed at fostering affordability\, reducing car dependency\, and achieving net-zero outcomes for sustainability. Highlighting the urgent need to prioritize people over cars\, and alongside her personal story as a first-generation Canadian\, Naama will cover the implications for urban planners\, architects\, industry professionals\, and the general public. Her firm\, Smart Density\, has received numerous accolades\, including the prestigious Best Emerging Practice Award from the Ontario Association of Architects and three consecutive SHIFT awards\, solidifying their innovative approach. Naama’s vision is to transform what good housing can and should look like in a growing city like Toronto – promoting vibrant\, sustainable communities. \n  \nJeffrey M. Casello\, Ph.D. – “The Future of Cities: Expanding the Roles of Transportation Planners and Engineers to Effect Real Change” \nProfessor Casello’s interests lie in urban transportation systems and their impacts on healthy and economically viable urban areas.  For decades\, transportation professionals have recognized the challenges associated with North American transportation and land use systems. Our passenger transportation networks continue to be auto-dominated\, creating environmental externalities\, inequities in terms of accessibility\, and lower quality of life for citizens. His presentation will focus on what more needs to be done to change this. Jeff teaches and conducts research on the planning\, design and operation of systems that promote efficient\, balanced transportation\, enhances regional economic competitiveness and supports social mobility.  His research highlights include contributions to improved behavioural models for transit systems and the assessment of empirical evidence in the planning and design of active transportation modes.  In 2014\, Jeff spoke to members of Canadian Parliament on the future of public transportation.  He has also had the opportunity to consult in Philadelphia\, Toronto\, Washington DC and Singapore.  At Waterloo\, Jeff received the Distinguished Teacher Award\, the highest teaching honor at the University. \nEarn Professional Development Hours: \nBy attending this luncheon\, you can also earn professional development hours\, contributing to your continued professional growth.

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. Coffee bar\n1025 Dunsmuir St\, Vancouver\, BC V7X 1M5\nAccessible venue\, steps away from the Burrard Skytrain Station \n$30 ITE Members / PIBC Members\n$20 Student and Public Agency Members\n$40 Non-ITE/PIBC Members \nPrice includes an assortment of light appetizers.

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 Canada Prairie Sections – Joint Virtual Event Beyond the Horizon: Future-Proofing Transportation on the Prairies
DESCRIPTION:Delving into the current state and long-term vision for transportation on the Canadian prairies\, focusing on adaptability\, resilience\, and safety.\nThe Northern Alberta\, Southern Alberta\, Saskatchewan\, and Manitoba Sections are pleased to invite you to our first joint event\, entitled\, Beyond the Horizon: Future-Proofing Transportation on the Prairies. Speakers will focus on four key topics relevant to the current state and long-term vision of transportation on the prairies. This is an interactive session – we want to hear your thoughts and ideas. \nDate: Monday\, February 26\nTime: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm MST (2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CST)\nRegistration Fee:\nMember: $5\nNon-Member: $10\nStudents: Free \nAll proceeds will be donated to Indspire\, a national Indigenous registered charity that invests in the education of First Nations\, Inuit and Métis people. \nSpeakers and Topics\nEmergency Response for Alberta Wild Fire Evacuation\nDr. Stephen Wong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta and leads the Resilient and Sustainable Mobility and Evacuation (RESUME) Group. Dr. Wong’s research focuses on the intersection of disasters/emergencies\, decision-making\, and transportation and works to create more resilient\, environmentally friendly\, and equitable transportation systems. He is actively involved in resilience and young professional activities at the Transportation Research Board and evacuation research at the International Association for Fire Safety Science. Dr. Wong received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2020. \n  \nRoad Safety Act Discussion\nMarcia Eng is a Senior Transportation Engineer and has over 23 years of diverse transportation planning and operations\, urban design and construction\, and project management experience. She has worked closely with clients in various municipalities throughout Alberta\, British Columbia and Manitoba to ensure safe and comfortable mobility options for people of all ages and abilities. She has developed a unique perspective of balancing competing needs through all phases of a project and between different roadway users. \nMarcia will share key insights from a panel discussion hosted by the Southern Alberta Section in November of 2023 that explored the ways in which transportation engineers interact with the provincial Road Safety Act\, and how we can best work together to support evolution of legislation while pursuing safe and equitable street design decisions. \nTechnology on the Highway: Are We There Yet?\nDerek Jaworski is a graduate of the University of Regina Faculty of Engineering\, and has worked for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways since 2006. After working five years as a Traffic Engineer\, he became Manager of Traffic Services and has remained in that capacity since. His primary responsibility is managing traffic data on the highway and rural municipal road systems. In recent years\, his responsibility has expanded towards ITS\, including authoring and updating the Strategic Plan for ITS in Saskatchewan\, and overseeing ITS related operations. In TAC he is a member of the ITS Committee and participates in the Connected and Automated Vehicles Integrated Committee and the Technology Council. \nHis presentation will highlight some of the technology the Ministry of Highways uses from a monitoring and traveler information perspective\, and describe conditions that affect the operation of the system. While a plan for the future is on paper\, a few back-of-mind things will be mentioned that could shake the plan from more of the same. \nRural Intersection Road Safety\nDr. Craig Milligan is a recognized international expert in road safety engineering and product manager for safety technologies at Miovision as well as the managing director of Fireseeds North Infrastructure\, a leading road safety audit firm. He has completed more than 600 in-service road safety reviews and design audits at all stages for more than $8B of capital projects\, and he is a frequent road safety instructor for the International Road Federation. He built and led MicroTraffic\, a leading road safety video analytics company\, until its acquisition by Miovision in February 2023. He has authored 30 technical papers and 10 design guidelines. \nRural intersections are unfortunately the sites of many collisions resulting in fatalities and serious injuries. High speeds and right angles combine to produce high risk potential\, although there are opportunities to manage this risk through a wide range of interventions and design practices. This presentation will look at a spectrum of proven interventions for rural intersection safety and a spectrum of methods for deciding where to implement these interventions. In general this ranges from systemic\, wide scale application of low-cost interventions to focused application of high-cost interventions following screening and detailed risk diagnosis. \n*** \nAttendees will hear brief overview presentations from all speakers\, and then delve deeper into two topics during breakout group discussions. Come to hear ideas\, share ideas\, and connect with peers from across the prairies.  \nAgenda: \n\n\n\n1:00 pm – 1:10pm \nWelcome and introductions\n\n\n1:10pm – 1:35pm\nOverview presentations \n\n\n1:35pm – 1:55pm\nBreakout group 1\n\n\n1:55pm – 2:15pm\nBreakout group 2\n\n\n2:15pm – 2:30pm\nReconvene with all attendees\n\n\n2:30pm \nAdjourn formal session\n\n\n2:30pm – 3:00pm\nOptional networking period\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Y2QzMjQ2NGItNzlmZi00YzMwLTkxODgtN2EwOTdlNzcwY2I4%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22340aac21-6d62-411f-88fb-2753784f2a28%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%220b7b7915-16e6-4838-a6a3-07bd68720e63%22%7d\n

SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver: February Virtual Seminar - BC Highway Reinstatement Program Highway 5 - Category B Project
DESCRIPTION:ITE Greater Vancouver is pleased to have Victor Wang\, P.Eng. and  Jonathan Ho\, P.Eng.\, PTOE\, from Kiewit Engineering Group Canada ULC present on the BC Highway Reinstatement Program Highway 5 – Category B Project at 12:00 pm\, February 21\, 2024. The virtual seminar will be free and online. \nNovember 15\, 2023\, marked the two-year anniversary of the atmospheric river and subsequent historic flooding and landslides that caused extensive damage to the highway and across the Province of British Columbia. Less than two years after the historic event and two months ahead of schedule\, all final permanent bridges on Highway 5 at Jessica\, Juliet\, and Bottletop are open to public traffic in permanent four-lane configuration\, as the Project reached substantial completion. Highway 5 is now more resilient and reliable\, supporting the movement of people and goods along this important corridor. The new bridges are built to withstand high water levels by using deep-pile footings and longer spans. Large rock protection has been added to protect the bridges from erosion and scour. Trees\, shrubs and grasses have also been planted to encourage stream-side re-vegetation and support overall restoration of aquatic and land habitat. In total\, the alliance team and local Indigenous communities planted around 4\,500 native plants at these sites to help return the environment to its natural landscape. \nVictor Wang is a Professional Engineer with 30 years of experience and expertise in transportation engineering and planning. He also possesses the Master of Engineering degree with strong background in different phases of infrastructure projects. Victor has played major roles in full project-delivery cycle of infrastructure projects including planning\, design\, and construction\, with specific focus on P3\, Design/Build (DB) and Design/Build/Finance/Operate (DBFO) projects. Victor was the Discipline Engineering Manager of the BC Highway Reinstatement Program – Highway 5 Project. \nJonathan Ho has over 15 years of experience in transportation engineering and planning. He was involved in several major transportation engineering and planning projects throughout British Columbia\, which included the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project\, Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project\, Highway 99 and Steveston Interchange Project\, and the Highway 91/17 Improvement Project. Jonathan has also provided traffic management services on numerous infrastructure upgrades projects throughout Greater Vancouver. Jonathan was the Civil and Traffic Management Design Lead on the BC Highway Reinstatement Program – Highway 5 Project.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NjRkMzZmNjYtZTY1Ny00ZmEyLWE0ODItNmUyMDM0YjA3ZGY1%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22875688ea-8b21-4b98-b25b-4b81851ad72d%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%224a3ba1e2-3eaf-46fd-a2aa-5dc1b59160ca%22%7d\n

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: February Luncheon: Integrating Health into Transportation Planning
DESCRIPTION:In early 2021\, Urban Systems was funded by Health Canada to examine the current state of efforts to integrate and consider health in planning processes – including transportation planning and design – and based upon this research develop an easy-to-use guide that would serve as a resource for planning\, engineering\, and public health staff to understand how and when they could effectively support each other in creating healthier built environments. \nThrough this project\, the project team at Urban Systems was able to connect with built environment and public health professionals from across Canada and gain valuable insight into effective approaches to considering and quantifying health in various types of planning processes. These resources are currently being shared by both the Canadian Institute of Planners as well as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities as valuable guidance for their members seeking to design and develop healthier communities. \nIn this informative session\, Jamie Hilland will discuss observations and lessons learned through the development of these resources\, as well as practical applications for his own role as a Community and Transportation Planner in both public and private sectors. This interactive workshop will provide an overview of what health means in communities and within the context of transportation planning\, designing\, and decision-making. Jamie will provide an overview of his previous work with Health Canada and consider the social determinants of health. This will include a guided review of the Integrating Health in Planning guide\, an overview of the Health Impact Assessment five-step process and other methods to considering health implications in your next transportation plan or project. \nDate: February 20\, 2024\nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm\nLocation: Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB T2R 0E3)\nRegistration Deadline: February 16\, 2024 \nCost:\nIn-Person Options:\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 ITE Members (in Lethbridge)\n• $25 Non ITE Members (in Lethbridge) \nOnline:\n• $15 All Members and Non-Members \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 Southern Alberta: Bus Priority Measures in Calgary: Benefits and Requirements
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the first ITE Southern Alberta Section event of 2024! Join us at the Danish Canadian Club for a presentation on Transit Priority from our very own ITE Executive Publicity Coordinator\, Bidoura Khondaker. \n*** \nTransit priority measures are an efficient tool in making transit a fast and reliable choice for transportation needs. These measures reduce bus delays\, improve schedule adherence and transit travel time reliability at known problem areas on a network. Transit priority measures not only benefit transit buses but also improve non-transit traffic flow moving in the same direction. Transit priority can be implemented in a variety of ways\, ranging from traffic signal control to providing dedicated space on roadways for transit. \nIn this talk\, Bidoura will highlight some of the bus priority measures (bus Queue Jump and Transit Signal Priority\, TSP in particular) that have been implemented in Calgary which forms an integral part of Calgary Transit’s plan. She will discuss the key requirements\, design aspects and benefits derived from these priority measures in making public transit service more efficient and reliable for users and providing an incentive to take the bus rather than drive. \nSpeaker Bio:\nBidoura Khondaker is a passionate\, enthusiastic and skilled Transportation professional with more than twelve years of blended experience in Academia and Industry. She is currently working as Senior Transportation Engineer in Service Planning\, Transit Service Design at Calgary Transit. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering\, Master’s Degree in Transportation engineering from University of British Columbia and PhD from University of Calgary. Bidoura has been actively involved with ITE since 2009\, recently joined ITE Southern Alberta as an executive committee member\, also currently working as an active volunteer member of the TAC Technology Council. Bidoura is committed to create a gender diverse and inclusive workplace\, she is a committee member of Women in Transit (WIT) and leading some key initiatives to enhance Calgary Transit’s commitment to women. As important as being a Transportation professional\, advocate of change and volunteer\, Bidoura is a mom too. Her time outside of work is spent learning the life lessons that only parenthood can bring. \nDate: January 16\, 2024\nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm\nLocation: Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB T2R 0E3)\nCost:\nIn-Person Options:\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 ITE Members (in Lethbridge)\n• $25 Non ITE Members (in Lethbridge)\nOnline:\n• $15 All Members and Non-Members \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.
