DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, November 4\, 2025 \nTime: 11 am to 4 pm (Eastern Time) / 8 am to 1 pm (Pacific Time) \nLocation: Virtual workshop. Meeting link will be provided in registration confirmation email. \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees.\n \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 gain practical strategies and real-world insights to apply transportation equity principles in their daily work. Through case studies and expert guidance\, they will learn how to turn equity concepts into actionable solutions that shape inclusive policies\, programs\, and infrastructure. 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. \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. \nEquity in Mobility Access Planning and Policy: Explore new concepts\, solutions\, and practical tools for multimodal planning and design\, including the creation of 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.\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.\nIn Class Exercises: Through interactive exercises and digital tools\, participants will examine how shared mobility solutions can complement existing transportation policies to close equity gaps. These activities will highlight strategies for integrating equity considerations into planning and decision-making\, with a focus on systemic inclusion and spatial justice.\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\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 under-served communities\nEvaluate various strategies designed to increase access to emerging modes for under-served populations\nIdentify the potential equity impacts of proposed transportation funding mechanisms\n\nTrainers\nInstructors: Julia de Lange\, PhD\, P.Eng.; Abdul Madani\, M.Eng\, EIT; and Mehemed Delibasic\, P.Eng. \nSupport: Abdul Razak Alozi\, PhD\, EIT; Maryam Hasanpour\, PhD\, EIT \nJulia de Lange\, B.Eng.\, M.A.Sc.\, Ph.D.\, E.I.T.\nDr. Julia de Lange is an Associate with the Biomechanics and Personal Injury group at 30 Forensic Engineering.

DESCRIPTION:The ITE National Capital Section is hosting a FREE webinar on November 27\, 2025. \nReducing speed limits in urban areas is a commonly adopted strategy in recent years to reduce the incidence and severity of traffic collisions. Numerous Canadian cities have implemented speed limit reductions as part of their efforts to enhance road safety. \nUnder Transport Canada’s Enhanced Road Safety Transfer Payment Program (ERSTPP)\, SMATS Traffic Solutions (SMATS) and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) partnered to undertake a statistical study to investigate the impact of speed limit reduction as a road safety strategy. Join us for this valuable conversation. \nDATE: Thursday\, November 27\, 2025 \nTIME: 12:00pm – 1:00pm EST \n*The virtual webinar link details will be shared in your ticket confirmation email after you have registered.* \n==Registration ends on November 27 at 10am== \n \nWebinar Details\nThe study is evaluating the impact of posted speed limit reductions on metrics like vehicle speeds\, harsh braking incidents\, and harsh acceleration events. This presentation of the interim study results will inform the audience on: \n\nThe impacts of posted speed limit reductions on vehicle speed.\nGuidance on conditions under which additional measures\, such as traffic calming\, should be considered.\nThe use of ‘Big Data’ to gain actionable insights to support data-driven policy and planning decisions\, ensuring impactful and sustainable safety interventions.\n\nPresenters\nThe Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) is an independent road safety research institute and registered Canadian charity. TIRF is a world leader in research\, program and policy development\, evaluation\, and knowledge transfer — preventing loss of life and injuries on the roads\, reducing social costs and safeguarding productivity.
