DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026 \nTime: 12:00 – 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 am – 1:00 pm PT \nLocation: Virtual. \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees.\n \nUrban streets are more than conduits for traffic—they are complex environments that support movement and serve as vibrant places for community connection and economic activity. Designing these streets requires balancing safety\, mobility\, and livability while accommodating diverse users such as pedestrians\, cyclists\, transit riders\, and goods movement. \nIn the past decade\, there has been considerable evolution in design practices for Canadian urban streets by shifting away from minimum design standards towards a more nuanced\, context-specific “design domain” approach. This evolution requires practitioners to apply greater engineering judgment and consider a broader range of factors and user perspectives. \nThis training equips participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate this evolving landscape with live facilitators that offer a variety of experience in planning and designing for complex urban environments\, including complete streets and protected intersections. A mix of presentations\, case studies\, interactive exercises\, and question and answer periods will be incorporated to allow attendees to apply fundamental design principles for urban streets\, navigate design trade-offs\, and incorporate emerging solutions. \nThis training will be organized as follows: \n\nIntroduction to Urban Street Design: The session will begin by examining the functions of urban streets for varying users and their role in supporting access\, mobility\, and placemaking. We will introduce the design domain approach\, contrasting it with traditional minimum standards and emphasizing the role of engineering judgment. We will then shift to concepts related to design controls and emerging solutions for speed management\, including self-enforcing streets\, highlighting how geometric design influences user behaviour and safety through Exercise #1.\nUrban Street Cross-sections: Next\, we will examine key urban street elements and how to select appropriate widths within the design domain and make trade-offs for varying contexts and user needs. Participants will then apply these concepts in Exercise #2 using real-world case studies and interactive tools that will challenge them to redesign urban streets to meet specified priorities within constrained rights-of-way and understand the equity implications of design decisions. \nHorizontal and Vertical Alignment for Urban Streets: This part of the training will explore fundamental concepts on horizontal and vertical alignments of urban streets and strategies to incorporate considerations for drainage\, safety\, and sight distances. Real-world case studies will be used to illustrate the connections between design controls and speed management to horizontal and vertical alignment design choices.\nUrban Intersection Design: The final block will focus on key principles of urban intersection design\, including control types\, user safety considerations\, and design/control vehicle selection. We will also provide a high-level overview of emerging concepts like protected intersections and multimodal roundabouts. To reinforce learning\, Exercise #3 will be conducted\, each with a facilitator that will guide participants to sketch geometric features of different intersection types. We will wrap up with a summary of key takeaways and an opportunity for participants to reflect on how to apply these concepts in their own practice.\n\nLEARNING OUTCOMES\nAs a result of attending this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the key functions and elements of urban streets\, including the roles of access\, mobility\, placemaking\, and the needs of multi-modal users\nDifferentiate between traditional minimum standards and the “design domain” approach in geometric design and explain the importance of engineering judgment in selecting design parameters\nUnderstand speed management\, self-enforcing roadway concepts\, and the relationship between design features and operating speeds\nAnalyze and conceptually design cross-sections for urban streets\, balancing competing demands within constrained rights-of-way\nEvaluate horizontal and vertical alignment elements for safety and operational effectiveness in urban contexts\nAssess intersection control types and geometric design considerations\, including impacts of design/control vehicle selection and corner radius\nCollaborate in group exercises to solve real-world design challenges\, using interactive tools to reinforce learning through practical application\nInterpret case studies to connect theoretical concepts with built examples\, strengthening the ability to apply best practice to local projects\n\nAUDIENCE\nTechnical guidance on designing urban streets is important to the day-to-day practice of a variety of professionals in transportation and related fields to ensure that their work reflects the changing needs of their local communities. Therefore\, this training program is valuable for a range of practitioners involved in the implementation and management of public streets\, including new road designers looking for a high-level overview of urban road geometric design\, experienced professionals looking to stay abreast of latest best practices\, and everyone in between.

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence - September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 – 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 am – 1:00 pm PT \nLocation: Virtual. The virtual meeting details will be emailed to registered attendees the day before or on the morning of the training. \nRegistration deadline: September 17\, 2025 at 12 noon ET \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.Lead Trainer \nMatt has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in civil engineering and nine years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. Matt is an emerging expert in the planning and design of streets\, intersections\, and communities that address the needs of all road users. He has advised on and completed concept and detailed designs for dozens of complete streets and bikeway projects across Canada including the City of Toronto’s ITE-award-winning York University Cycling Connections project. He has contributed to award-winning design guidance documents including the Ottawa Protected Intersection Design Guide and the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide.His experience also includes leading trainings\, including for the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide\, as well as the updated OTM Book 18: Cycling Facilities which he has delivered to over 600 professionals. He was also a trainer for the April 2024 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations \n \nNarayan Donaldson\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nNarayan has a bachelor’s degree in urban planning and a master’s degree in civil engineering\, and seven years of planning and engineering experience in Canada and the Netherlands. He was the lead trainer for the 2023/24 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations and has co-led in-person workshops such as a network planning exercise at the 2024 Winter Cycling Congress in Edmonton. He has been applying Complete Networks principles in roles such as the Mobycon project leader for the Renfrew County transportation master plan\, and a planner implementing the Town of Canmore’s town centre streetscape plan based on the Complete Networks principles of the Integrated Master Plan \n \nArianne Robillard\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nArianne has a Master of Science in Civil Engineering specializing in Transportation Planning. Her experience includes transportation and mobility research\, active transportation\, transit-oriented development\, and accessibility. Her academic publications include cycling access to transit-oriented development nodes and measurement of access to parks and green spaces\, and has presented at conferences in Brussels\, Portland\, Quebec City\, and Montreal. She spent four months in the Netherlands studying at Utrecht University studying Human Geography and Spatial Planning\, contributing to the design of accessibility indicator tools. \n \nThe registration deadline for this event is noon ET on September 17\, 2025. \nThe virtual meeting details will be emailed to registered attendees the day before or on the morning of the training. \n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is noon ET on April 28\, 2025. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.Lead Trainer \nMatt has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in civil engineering and nine years of experience in transportation planning and engineering.

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation Equity: Developing Solutions for Social Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is March 19\, 2025. \nNote: This event was previously scheduled for February 18\, 2025 \nWorkshop Description\nTransportation systems shape access to opportunities\, yet mobility inequalities persist. Social exclusion in mobility is not a new issue\, but systematic inclusion principles and processes remain limited\, and the knowledge in this area is yet to be fully developed. This training course seeks to help transportation professionals understand how changes to transportation systems can be more socially inclusive and address issues of inequality. \nSupported by internal research and developed by a diverse team of experts\, this workshop combines strong theoretical foundations with practical applications to offer a comprehensive approach to transportation equity. Participants will learn how transportation equity principles\, tools\, and solutions translate into real action and change the course of transportation infrastructure programs and delivery. The goal is to equip transportation practitioners with the tools to create more inclusive\, resilient\, and just mobility systems. \nParticipants will learn from real-life examples of safety incidents\, collisions and practice safety measures where transportation equity plays a significant role in fostering inclusion and upholding human rights\, informed by the instructor’s legal expertise. This course will provide alternative perspectives to align transportation policies\, programs and implementation with the Canadian National Human Rights Charter\, treating equity as a fundamental right\, not just as an additional consideration. Training content highlights systemic exclusion\, its impact on marginalized communities\, and strategies to mitigate unintended consequences and address equity gaps. By integrating well-established and emerging transportation equity concepts into practical applications\, the course equips participants with the knowledge to embed equity into everyday transportation practices and decisions. \nThe half-day course is divided into several sections: \n\nBasics of Transportation Equity: The workshop will start with fundamentals of transportation equity\, basic principles\, history\, theoretical foundations such as framework and types of transportation equity\, philosophical framework\, systematic causes of inequality\, spatial justice theories and other fundamentals. It will include participant interactions and quick surveys.\nEquity in Public Space: This topic will delve into spatial injustice\, recognize recurring inequality conditions\, and address them through an equitable approach to public street design and placemaking concepts\, using unused space identification\, redesign\, and implementation strategies. In the first exercise\, participants are engaged in practicing reclaiming traffic spaces and provided tools to convert these spaces through temporary and permanent redesign and intervention techniques.\nEquity and Mobility Resilience: Understand the resilience of transportation systems in the face of climate change disparities\, energy depletion\, and environmental viewpoints\, including new approaches to mobility energy planning and policy development.\nEquity in Emerging Mobility Modes and Technologies: Examine the promises and challenges of new mobility technologies and apply solutions to prevent emerging inequalities in digital and shared mobility platforms. In the second exercise\, participants are engaged with online tools demonstrating shared mobility benefits and transit quality to identify areas where shared mobility modes can effectively bridge gaps in mobility access.\nEquity in Mobility Access Planning and Policy: Explore new concepts\, solutions\, and practical tools for multimodal planning and design\, including the creation of “neighborhood multimodal mobility hubs” to improve access to diverse transportation modes.\nTransportation Disadvantage and Poverty: Discover strategies and tools to combat transportation poverty and mobility disadvantages and explore how overlooked indicators and data can contribute to systemic inequality. In the third exercise\, participants are engaged to practice transportation equity to gain skills and understanding of spatial justice.\nDesign Parameter and Equity Connections: This session will uncover hidden gender disparities in automobile design and their links to road safety inequalities and learn processes to reduce and eliminate these disparities. In addition\, participants will gain insights from real-life safety incidents and collisions\, and understand how transportation equity plays a crucial role in fostering inclusion\, upholding human rights\, and providing liability and judicial perspectives.\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation engineers\, planners\, land use planners\, urban designers\, mobility technology service providers\, and other professionals involved in urban mobility system development\, who are focused on promoting equity within sustainable mobility solutions. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nEvaluate the processes used to implement equity policies and laws in contemporary transportation practice\nUnderstand vulnerability of energy\, resource\, climate impact on transportation systems and apply specific tools and develop policies\nIdentify the equity concerns associated with various tools for evaluating travel patterns and behavior\nApply strategies and tools to increase the access to employment\, education\, affordable housing\, and transportation for underserved communities\nEvaluate various strategies designed to increase access to emerging modes for underserved populations\nIdentify the potential equity impacts of proposed transportation funding mechanisms\n\nTrainers\nInstructors: Dewan Karim\, P.Eng.\, Abdulrahman Madani\, Dr. Julia de Lange\, and Mehemed Delibasic\, P.Eng. \nSupport: Abdul Razak Alozi\, Maryam Hasanpour \nDewan Karim\, Mehemed Delibasic\, Abdul Madani\, and Julia de Lange are experts with 25+ years of combined experience in transportation safety\, engineering\, and biomechanics at 30 Forensic Engineering.

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is January 22\, 2025. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles.

Join Virtual EventDESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is January 22\, 2025. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course.

SUMMARY:Removing Barriers: A Workshop on Achieving Accessibility in Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nThis workshop is held over two half-day sessions from 11 am to 3 pm (Eastern Time) / 8 am to 12 pm (Pacific Time) on both Wednesday\, May 29 and Thursday\, May 30. The registration deadline for this event is May 28 at 11:30pm Eastern. \nWorkshop Description\nIn an increasingly interconnected world\, the importance of inclusive and accessible transportation systems cannot be overstated. Municipalities across Canada are demonstrating a growing level of support and commitment to expanding transit\, active transportation\, and accessible facilities. However\, in Canada\, there is currently a lack of uniform guidelines for road designers\, planners\, and transportation practitioners to rely on related to designing accessible transportation infrastructure for users of all ages and abilities. Some municipalities and provincial governments across the country have taken the initiative to develop their own accessibility standards and guidelines. In most cases\, these local standards provide limited guidance for incorporating accessibility features for specific types of facilities\, such as transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. \nITE Canada is presenting a new workshop specifically focused on accessibility. The objectives are to provide transportation practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of accessibility in transportation and relevant standards\, guidelines\, and best practices as they currently exist. Insights will be provided on how to integrate them into transportation system planning\, design\, and operation. The training will be divided in two key parts: \n\nPart 1: We will highlight the importance and impact of equitable transportation systems using an accessibility lens. Accessibility is achieved by understanding the needs of end-users\, identifying barriers that currently exist\, anticipating barriers that may arise\, and applying principles of universal design to remove or prevent barriers. By emphasizing the significance of inclusive design principles in establishing equitable transportation networks\, we will help move transportation practitioners from an accommodations and standards mindset to one of accessibility and equity. This section will shed light on the diverse requirements and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs aren’t being addressed through current systems.\nPart 2: The second part of the workshop will emphasize the presentation of accessibility standards and guidelines\, and best practices in accessibility pertaining to specific facility types. These will include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. Overall\, this training aims to equip transportation practitioners with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively implement inclusive design principles and improve accessibility within transportation systems.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nThe key learning objectives of this training are the following: \n\nGain a comprehensive understanding of universal design principles and their significance in creating equitable transportation networks.\nUnderstand the diverse requirements and unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs are not being addressed through current transportation systems.\nBecome familiar with existing accessibility standards and guidelines and acquire knowledge of best practices in accessibility for specific facility types. These include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities.\nApply the concepts learned in the training through group exercises to enhance practical understanding and application of accessibility principles.\n\nTarget Audience\nThough accessibility is a specialized area of expertise\, it needs to be considered by a wide range of transportation professionals in their day-to-day practice to promote inclusive\, user-friendly transportation systems. Therefore\, this training would be of interest to a diverse group of professionals\, including road designers\, transit operators\, traffic engineers\, transportation planners\, and others. \nTeam Bios\nAlexandre Nolet\, M.Eng.\, RSP 1 P.Eng.\nAlexandre is a highly experienced professional in the transportation consulting industry\, currently serving as the Director of Transportation Safety and Forensics at TNS.

SUMMARY:Multimodal Traffic Signal Operations Training
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is April 22\, 2024. \nWorkshop Description\nStandard practices for traffic signal operations in Canada were designed around a traffic system which only included general motor vehicle traffic lanes and sidewalks. However\, in recent years with a rise in interest in sustainable transportation modes such as cycling and walking\, and an increased emphasis on safety\, Canadian streets increasingly include features such as separate bicycle paths and bus lanes. As a result\, intersections are increasingly including additional features such as fully-protected phases for turning movements\, bicycle phases\, transit phases\, and/or leading pedestrian/bicycle intervals. \nIn this training session\, Narayan Donaldson of Mobycon will lead a training on traffic signal operations practices\, sharing standard practices from the Netherlands that can be implemented within Canada’s current regulations to improve multimodal level of service. \nThe key topics that will be covered include: \n\nPrinciples of traffic signal operations for good multimodal level of service;\nHow to introduce flexibility into signal coordination to reduce delay for non-coordinated movements (i.e. pedestrians\, cyclists and transit)\, while still providing progression for motor vehicle traffic. Topics include permissive periods\, peer-to-peer signal communication\, and platoon detection;\nHow to design motor vehicle\, bicycle\, and pedestrian detection zones to maximize green\nutilization and minimize cycle lengths;\nHow to implement fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals efficiently\, leveraging phase order and intersection geometry to reduce lost time between phases; and\nHow to design signal operations to maximize the effectiveness of Transit Signal Priority and minimize its impacts on other users.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nUpon completion of the training\, participants will be able to implement changes to operating procedures which can significantly improve multimodal level of service and/or safety at signalized intersections including: \n\nImplementing permissive periods in signal coordination plans;\nImplementing peer-to-peer communication and/or platoon detection for signal progression\nin variable-cycle-length networks;\nOptimally selecting motor vehicle\, bicycle and pedestrian detector positions\, dimensions\,\nand settings;\nSelecting phase orders to minimize lost time and take advantage of geometric compatibility\nwhen using fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals;\nIdentifying intersection geometry characteristics which can enable more efficient signal operations with fully-protected signal phases and/or Transit Signal Priority; and\nDetermining Transit Signal Priority settings to achieve the desired balance between signal coordination\, transit performance\, and delay to other road users.\n\nTarget Audience\nThis training is intended for professionals who work directly with traffic signal operations\, such as traffic signals engineers and technicians\, as well as professionals who influence traffic signal operations such as signal operations managers\, active transportation infrastructure planners/engineers\, transit operations planners\, and other traffic engineers. \nTeam Bios\n \nNarayan Donaldson\nRole: Lead Trainer \nNarayan is a transportation planner with six years of experience in Canada and the Netherlands. He has a master’s in civil engineering from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands\, where he specialized in traffic operations and wrote his thesis on transit signal priority in fully-actuated coordinated networks. He worked for three years for the City of Toronto and Toronto Transit Commission designing\, testing and implementing traffic signal programs\, and worked for two years at Movensis B.V. in the Netherlands\, designing and programming new features for their signal controller software\, including real-time clearance times for pedestrians\, speed-based and/or platoon-based green extensions for bicycles\, bicycle signal priority algorithms\, and custom queue spillback mitigation systems. \n \nOkka Maw\nRole: Trainer \nOkka is an integrated mobility consultant in Canada with experience from Australia in both the private and public sector.

SUMMARY:Removing Barriers: A Workshop on Achieving Accessibility in Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nThis workshop is held over two half-day sessions from 11 am to 3 pm (Eastern Time) / 8 am to 12 pm (Pacific Time) on both Thursday\, February 29 and Friday\, March 1. The registration deadline for this event is February 23\, 2024. \n\nWorkshop Description\nIn an increasingly interconnected world\, the importance of inclusive and accessible transportation systems cannot be overstated. Municipalities across Canada are demonstrating a growing level of support and commitment to expanding transit\, active transportation\, and accessible facilities. However\, in Canada\, there is currently a lack of uniform guidelines for road designers\, planners\, and transportation practitioners to rely on related to designing accessible transportation infrastructure for users of all ages and abilities. Some municipalities and provincial governments across the country have taken the initiative to develop their own accessibility standards and guidelines. In most cases\, these local standards provide limited guidance for incorporating accessibility features for specific types of facilities\, such as transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. \nITE Canada is presenting a new workshop specifically focused on accessibility. The objectives are to provide transportation practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of accessibility in transportation and relevant standards\, guidelines\, and best practices as they currently exist. Insights will be provided on how to integrate them into transportation system planning\, design\, and operation. The training will be divided in two key parts: \n\nPart 1: We will highlight the importance and impact of equitable transportation systems using an accessibility lens. Accessibility is achieved by understanding the needs of end-users\, identifying barriers that currently exist\, anticipating barriers that may arise\, and applying principles of universal design to remove or prevent barriers. By emphasizing the significance of inclusive design principles in establishing equitable transportation networks\, we will help move transportation practitioners from an accommodations and standards mindset to one of accessibility and equity. This section will shed light on the diverse requirements and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs aren’t being addressed through current systems.\nPart 2: The second part of the workshop will emphasize the presentation of accessibility standards and guidelines\, and best practices in accessibility pertaining to specific facility types. These will include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. Overall\, this training aims to equip transportation practitioners with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively implement inclusive design principles and improve accessibility within transportation systems.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nThe key learning objectives of this training are the following: \n\nGain a comprehensive understanding of universal design principles and their significance in creating equitable transportation networks.\nUnderstand the diverse requirements and unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs are not being addressed through current transportation systems.\nBecome familiar with existing accessibility standards and guidelines and acquire knowledge of best practices in accessibility for specific facility types. These include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities.\nApply the concepts learned in the training through group exercises to enhance practical understanding and application of accessibility principles.\n\nTarget Audience\nThough accessibility is a specialized area of expertise\, it needs to be considered by a wide range of transportation professionals in their day-to-day practice to promote inclusive\, user-friendly transportation systems. Therefore\, this training would be of interest to a diverse group of professionals\, including road designers\, transit operators\, traffic engineers\, transportation planners\, and others. \nTeam Bios\nAlexandre Nolet\, M.Eng.\, RSP 1 P.Eng.\nAlexandre is a highly experienced professional in the transportation consulting industry\, currently serving as the Director of Transportation Safety and Forensics at TNS.

SUMMARY:Removing Barriers: A Workshop on Achieving Accessibility in Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nThis workshop is held over two half-day sessions from 11 am to 3 pm (Eastern Time) / 8 am to 12 pm (Pacific Time) on both Tuesday\, December 5 and Wednesday\, December 6 \nWorkshop Description\nIn an increasingly interconnected world\, the importance of inclusive and accessible transportation systems cannot be overstated. Municipalities across Canada are demonstrating a growing level of support and commitment to expanding transit\, active transportation\, and accessible facilities. However\, in Canada\, there is currently a lack of uniform guidelines for road designers\, planners\, and transportation practitioners to rely on related to designing accessible transportation infrastructure for users of all ages and abilities. Some municipalities and provincial governments across the country have taken the initiative to develop their own accessibility standards and guidelines. In most cases\, these local standards provide limited guidance for incorporating accessibility features for specific types of facilities\, such as transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. \nITE Canada is presenting a new workshop specifically focused on accessibility. The objectives are to provide transportation practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of accessibility in transportation and relevant standards\, guidelines\, and best practices as they currently exist. Insights will be provided on how to integrate them into transportation system planning\, design\, and operation. The training will be divided in two key parts: \n\nPart 1: We will highlight the importance and impact of equitable transportation systems using an accessibility lens. Accessibility is achieved by understanding the needs of end-users\, identifying barriers that currently exist\, anticipating barriers that may arise\, and applying principles of universal design to remove or prevent barriers. By emphasizing the significance of inclusive design principles in establishing equitable transportation networks\, we will help move transportation practitioners from an accommodations and standards mindset to one of accessibility and equity. This section will shed light on the diverse requirements and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs aren’t being addressed through current systems.\nPart 2: The second part of the workshop will emphasize the presentation of accessibility standards and guidelines\, and best practices in accessibility pertaining to specific facility types. These will include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. Overall\, this training aims to equip transportation practitioners with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively implement inclusive design principles and improve accessibility within transportation systems.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nThe key learning objectives of this training are the following: \n\nGain a comprehensive understanding of universal design principles and their significance in creating equitable transportation networks.\nUnderstand the diverse requirements and unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs are not being addressed through current transportation systems.\nBecome familiar with existing accessibility standards and guidelines and acquire knowledge of best practices in accessibility for specific facility types. These include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities.\nApply the concepts learned in the training through group exercises to enhance practical understanding and application of accessibility principles.\n\nTarget Audience\nThough accessibility is a specialized area of expertise\, it needs to be considered by a wide range of transportation professionals in their day-to-day practice to promote inclusive\, user-friendly transportation systems. Therefore\, this training would be of interest to a diverse group of professionals\, including road designers\, transit operators\, traffic engineers\, transportation planners\, and others. \nTeam Bios\nAlexandre Nolet\, M.Eng.\, RSP 1 P.Eng.\nAlexandre is a highly experienced professional in the transportation consulting industry\, currently serving as the Director of Transportation Safety and Forensics at TNS.

As least two more virtual sessions of this training will be offered\, to be announced on itecanada.org\, our social media channels\, and email list. \nWorkshop Description\nStandard practices for traffic signal operations in Canada were designed around a traffic system which only included general motor vehicle traffic lanes and sidewalks. However\, in recent years with a rise in interest in sustainable transportation modes such as cycling and walking\, and an increased emphasis on safety\, Canadian streets increasingly include features such as separate bicycle paths and bus lanes. As a result\, intersections are increasingly including additional features such as fully-protected phases for turning movements\, bicycle phases\, transit phases\, and/or leading pedestrian/bicycle intervals. \nIn this training session\, Narayan Donaldson of Mobycon will lead a training on traffic signal operations practices\, sharing standard practices from the Netherlands that can be implemented within Canada’s current regulations to improve multimodal level of service. \nThe key topics that will be covered include: \n\nPrinciples of traffic signal operations for good multimodal level of service;\nHow to introduce flexibility into signal coordination to reduce delay for non-coordinated movements (i.e. pedestrians\, cyclists and transit)\, while still providing progression for motor vehicle traffic. Topics include permissive periods\, peer-to-peer signal communication\, and platoon detection;\nHow to design motor vehicle\, bicycle\, and pedestrian detection zones to maximize green\nutilization and minimize cycle lengths;\nHow to implement fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals efficiently\, leveraging phase order and intersection geometry to reduce lost time between phases; and\nHow to design signal operations to maximize the effectiveness of Transit Signal Priority and minimize its impacts on other users.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nUpon completion of the training\, participants will be able to implement changes to operating procedures which can significantly improve multimodal level of service and/or safety at signalized intersections including: \n\nImplementing permissive periods in signal coordination plans;\nImplementing peer-to-peer communication and/or platoon detection for signal progression\nin variable-cycle-length networks;\nOptimally selecting motor vehicle\, bicycle and pedestrian detector positions\, dimensions\,\nand settings;\nSelecting phase orders to minimize lost time and take advantage of geometric compatibility\nwhen using fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals;\nIdentifying intersection geometry characteristics which can enable more efficient signal operations with fully-protected signal phases and/or Transit Signal Priority; and\nDetermining Transit Signal Priority settings to achieve the desired balance between signal coordination\, transit performance\, and delay to other road users.\n\nTarget Audience\nThis training is intended for professionals who work directly with traffic signal operations\, such as traffic signals engineers and technicians\, as well as professionals who influence traffic signal operations such as signal operations managers\, active transportation infrastructure planners/engineers\, transit operations planners\, and other traffic engineers. \nTeam Bios\n \nNarayan Donaldson\nRole: Lead Trainer \nNarayan is a transportation planner with six years of experience in Canada and the Netherlands.

The sessions will be organized as follows: \n\nBrief overview of protected intersections\, including:\n\nIssues for people walking and cycling in typical intersection design\nWhy protected intersections are important and address typical issues for people walking and cycling\nPrinciples of protected intersection design\n\n\nBreakout session #1:\n\nParticipants will review an existing [unprotected] intersection that will be provided and identify potential conflict points and other issues for people walking and cycling\nDifferent contexts of intersections (urban\, suburban\, irregular) will be used in the breakout sessions\n\n\nCase studies to illustrate specific design issues\, including:\n\nTransit stop integration o Constrained contexts\nComplex junctions of bikeways and trails\nHigh-volume turning movements\nLarge vehicle turning movements\nMaterials and elevations\nPaths of travel for people walking and cycling\n\n\nBreakout session #2:\n\nEach breakout room will have a different design issue\nParticipants will use the information provided in the training to provide design ideas to improve their intersection and then present to the group\n\n\nBuilding on the break-out session\, Alta will discuss the different design issues and how each design response can come together into a cohesive design that addresses more than one design issue\nDiscussion about monitoring of the effectiveness of innovative approaches and how design might evolve\n\nKalle Hakala\nKalle has over 14 years of planning experience in active transportation planning\, land use policy\, environmental policy\, and development review working for Alta Planning + Design\, the City of Ottawa\, and the City of Guelph. He recently led the development of the City of Ottawa’s Protected Intersection Design Guide which won the 2022 TAC Mobility Achievement Award and is regularly referenced by jurisdictions far beyond Ottawa. He is passionate about a wide range of active transportation projects\, including Cycling Safety at High-Volume Intersections and Stage 2 LRT Connectivity Studies for the City of Ottawa\, the Bayridge Drive Complete Street in Kingston\, the Halifax Shared Micromobility Readiness Study\, and active transportation plans across the country. He is always looking to advance ways of making urban environments sustainable\, equitable\, and function better at the human scale. \nNataliya Pekar\nNataliya Pekar is a Civil Engineer with Alta Planning + Design. She works on active transportation projects across the country and spends her days applying a Complete Street lens to reimagine our streets. Nataliya also gets into the details of making intersections safe and comfortable for pedestrians and people on bikes while also operational and effective for transit\, motor vehicles\, and trucks depending on the context. Nataliya was on the team for the OTM Book 18 Update (2021)\, the Corner Design for All Users White Paper (2020)\, and the Ottawa Protected Intersection Design Guidelines (2021) and has been involved with the planning\, design\, and implementation of protected intersections across Canada\, including Toronto’s first protected intersection at Evelyn Wiggins Drive and Murray Ross Parkway\, and others in design in Kingston\, Halifax\, and Ottawa.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Intersections for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Offered by: CITE Training Committee\nLearn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\nWorkshop Summary\nIntersections are the location where the highest number of conflicts occur\, making them uncomfortable places for people walking\, biking\, and driving. Communities across Canada and North America have been transforming streets to achieve broader objectives (economic development\, climate resilience) and increase multimodal safety. Many designers have found challenges with how to design the intersections. This training workshop will include intersection design approaches for different contexts (urban\, suburban\, cities\, towns) and will provide transportation professionals with: \n\nBetter understanding of the goals for intersection design to achieve safety and mode share objectives;\nKnowledge of the evidence-based research that underpins these goals and selecting design elements;\nHands-on experience designing intersections with innovative design elements.\n\nThe learning objectives for this workshop are to: \n\nIncrease understanding of evidence-based intersection design approaches and principles;\nIncrease knowledge of design guidelines and industry reference resources;\nApply the training materials to real-world intersections\, working through the design process/trade-offs\, during interactive group design exercises; and\nProvide opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange between participants\, share their own experiences.\n\n \nAbout your Workshop Facilitators \nTyler Golly\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nTyler is a Professional Engineer\, registered in Alberta and Ontario\, who has planned and designed multimodal transportation systems in Canada\, the United States\, and New Zealand. He has experience leading and implementing multimodal street design guides and has delivered Complete Street and walking/bicycling design projects that have improved safety\, accessibility\, health\, and mobility for people of all ages and abilities and in all seasons. Tyler co-authored the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Protected Bikeways Practitioner’s Guide and Lecture Series\, contributed to the Integrated Bicycle Design and Integrated Pedestrian Design chapters of the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads\, peer reviewed Auckland’s Bicycle Quality of Service Framework\, and served as technical advisor for ITE’s Implementing Context Sensitive Design on Multimodal Corridors: An ITE Handbook. \n \nRyan Martinson\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nRyan is a Professional Engineer registered in Alberta. He has worked on strategic plans\, master plans\, conceptual design\, evaluations\, and safety reviews of projects in North America and New Zealand. Ryan’s work includes being involved in planning and design Complete Streets networks and corridors; developing design guidance for municipalities and agencies; leading training courses on design and planning concepts; developing graduate courses related to sustainability and complexity; participating in research projects related to the built environment; and teaching and mentoring university students. He is keenly aware of how the built environment influences how we use and interact with our surroundings\, and he employs a user-based design approach to infrastructure design\, planning\, and operations. \n \nWorkshop Format\nThis course will be delivered using online instructional tools over two half-day workshops.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Intersections for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\nOffered by: CITE Training Committee \nWorkshop Summary \nIntersections are the location where the highest number of conflicts occur\, making them uncomfortable places for people walking\, biking\, and driving. Communities across Canada and North America have been transforming streets to achieve broader objectives (economic development\, climate resilience) and increase multimodal safety. Many designers have found challenges with how to design the intersections. This training workshop will include intersection design approaches for different contexts (urban\, suburban\, cities\, towns) and will provide transportation professionals with: \n\nBetter understanding of the goals for intersection design to achieve safety and mode share objectives;\nKnowledge of the evidence-based research that underpins these goals and selecting design elements;\nHands-on experience designing intersections with innovative design elements.\n\nThe learning objectives for this workshop are to: \n\nIncrease understanding of evidence-based intersection design approaches and principles;\nIncrease knowledge of design guidelines and industry reference resources;\nApply the training materials to real-world intersections\, working through the design process/trade-offs\, during interactive group design exercises; and\nProvide opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange between participants\, share their own experiences.\n\n \nAbout your Workshop Facilitators \n \n \nTyler Golly\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nTyler is a Professional Engineer\, registered in Alberta and Ontario\, who has planned and designed multimodal transportation systems in Canada\, the United States\, and New Zealand. He has experience leading and implementing multimodal street design guides and has delivered Complete Street and walking/bicycling design projects that have improved safety\, accessibility\, health\, and mobility for people of all ages and abilities and in all seasons. Tyler co-authored the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Protected Bikeways Practitioner’s Guide and Lecture Series\, contributed to the Integrated Bicycle Design and Integrated Pedestrian Design chapters of the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads\, peer reviewed Auckland’s Bicycle Quality of Service Framework\, and served as technical advisor for ITE’s Implementing Context Sensitive Design on Multimodal Corridors: An ITE Handbook. \n \nRyan Martinson\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nRyan is a Professional Engineer registered in Alberta. He has worked on strategic plans\, master plans\, conceptual design\, evaluations\, and safety reviews of projects in North America and New Zealand. Ryan’s work includes being involved in planning and design Complete Streets networks and corridors; developing design guidance for municipalities and agencies; leading training courses on design and planning concepts; developing graduate courses related to sustainability and complexity; participating in research projects related to the built environment; and teaching and mentoring university students. He is keenly aware of how the built environment influences how we use and interact with our surroundings\, and he employs a user-based design approach to infrastructure design\, planning\, and operations. \nWorkshop Format \nThis course will be delivered using online instructional tools over two half-day workshops. The following is an overview of the workshop agenda and topics that participants will explore and engage with: \nDay 1 (3 hours) \n\nWelcome and introductions\nWho are we designing for and what are we trying to achieve?\nDesign parameters to improve safety performance\nDesign Exercise 1: Intersection critique\n\nDay 2 (3 hours) \n\nIntersection design treatments (geometry and timing)\nIntersection traffic control devices (markings and signs)\nDesign Exercise 2: Major street intersection\nDesign Exercise 3: Minor Street intersection\n\nVideo conferencing for this training session will be hosted on Zoom\, which will allow for the material to be shared live and questions from participants to be addressed throughout the workshop.
