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.

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto: Transit Priority Measures in the City of Toronto (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:To improve the speed and reliability of surface transit the TTC employs several Transit Priority Measures (TPMs). TPMs include policies\, technology\, and infrastructure projects that support the bus and streetcar network. This presentation gives information on the supporting policies that enable these measures and how they are implemented. The main TPMs that the TTC uses and will be covered include: Transit Signal Priority\, Queue Jump Lanes\, Bus Priority Lanes\, and Regulatory Changes. In addition\, several projects will be presented that demonstrate these TPMs in action. \nSpeakers \nMarc Tan\nMarc is the Manager of Transportation Engineering at TTC\, leading a team Transportation Engineers and Technicians for several years to help Toronto’s Streetcars and Buses move faster and more reliably. He is a Licensed Professional Engineer in Ontario with over 10 years of experience with skills in traffic operations\, TSP systems design\, Transit Priority Measures\, transit and traffic management plans and traffic modeling software. Throughout his career Marc has been working closely with different municipal and transit agencies\, as well as delivering several public transit P3 projects in the GTA. He is very passionate about the design and planning public transit systems through data driven approaches. \nJordan Hart-Bishop\nJordan is a Senior Transportation Engineer with the TTC in Operations Planning. His background includes work within the public\, private\, and academic sectors. Jordan has a passion for traffic operations with a focus on signalized control. He has completed numerous planning and operations studies with the use of Synchro. \n \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWY2MjcyNGMtZjA5NS00Yzg5LTgzOTctMjEwNDMxMjk0YjM1%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
