SUMMARY:SAITE Webinar: Transportation Planning in a Post-Pandemic World
DESCRIPTION:As our final virtual webinar for ITE Southern Alberta Section before returning to in-person meetings\, we are pleased to welcome two guests from Boston\, Massachusetts to share insights and recommendations for the future of multi-modal transportation planning in a post-pandemic world. \nLiza and Jason will share experiences from their work on unique multi-modal transportation plans within Toronto\, Tampa\, and Chicago\, and offer ideas for how transportation practitioners can strategically look ahead in light of significant travel behaviour changes unfolding from the COVID-19 pandemic\, climate emergency\, and global supply-chain disruptions. \nJason Schrieber\, Senior Principal\, Stantec \nJason Schrieber is a multi-modal planner and designer focused on the intersection of the public realm and safe\, efficient and healthy communities. For over 25 years\, he has helped hundreds of communities\, institutions\, and developers understand how individual travel behaviors are influenced by physical and economic attributes\, resulting in solutions that elevate the importance of smarter and shared mobility for cost reduction and mode shift; reveal the true costs of parking to change the calculus on how employees commute; and promote safer places for travelers of all backgrounds and abilities through balanced\, user-based analytical tools. Working across all forms of transportation\, Jason has shown places from Boston to Abu Dhabi how to manage parking in difficult shared environments; how to develop demand-management programs that get people to choose transit\, walking\, and biking; and how to smartly design multi-modal solutions that range from the site to corridor to community-wide levels—always aiming to use transportation investments and mobility strategies wisely. Successes include built road diets\, completed transit-oriented developments\, campus-wide parking management programs\, multi-modal traffic operations solutions for complex intersections\, dynamic curb operating plans and more. Jason is currently leading the walkable redesign of Kenmore Square in Boston\, the mobility component of the Woodbine Districts master plan in Toronto\, and multiple downtown rapid recovery mobility solutions for the State of Massachusetts. \nLiza Cohen\, Senior Associate\, Stantec \nLiza is a multimodal transportation planner with a deep understanding of the user experience in complex transportation networks. Specifically\, she understands how transportation choices and modes come together to form networks. Her work ranges from town- and city-wide mobility planning to parking management plans to developing innovative and flexible solutions to unique circulation challenges. In each of these\, Liza’s approach is to synthesize data and community and stakeholder feedback to provide better transportation options. Liza is currently serving as deputy project manager for a transportation plan Everett\, a city neighboring Boston\, as well as an advisor for a street redesign in the commercial heart of Burlington\, VT. Liza has also served as deputy project manager on multiple citywide mobility plans including the recently released Go Boston 2030 as well as large scale development projects\, often leading innovative and comprehensive analysis\, placemaking\, and creation of transportation options.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/t1km06F9AG8\n

SUMMARY:NACITE March Webinar
DESCRIPTION:From the Netherlands to North America – best practices in multimodal integration\nPresentation Brief \nMany people know the Netherlands for their cycling culture and world class bicycle infrastructure. What is less well-known is the Dutch expertise in multi-modal transportation – connecting people both on foot and on bike with efficient public transit systems. Join us on this webinar as we look to international expertise in the planning and design elements that make for seamless connections between active transportation and public transit. Some of the themes addressed will include active transportation networks and safe street design\, station access by foot and bike\, and bike parking facilities. We will then return to examples in Ottawa and San Diego to learn how these elements are being applied in a North American context and discuss ways to further develop multi-modal transportation hubs. \n \nWayne Gong\, P.Eng. \nAs an Integrated Mobility Specialist in Mobycon’s North American office in Ottawa\, Wayne brings along many years of public sector experience from western Canada to the team – a combination of project management and integrated transportation planning and design. One of Wayne’s proudest accomplishments includes planning and delivering Edmonton’s first residential protected cycling network\, spanning seven neighbourhoods. He also spearheaded various corridor and neighbourhood-wide projects across North America by providing holistic and context-sensitive mobility solutions. His in-depth understanding of the project lifecycle and evidence-based approach enable him to work effectively with stakeholders to address their concerns by applying Dutch inspired best practices. Wayne is committed to creating more 15-minute communities where dwellers can safely and comfortably access work/school\, play and socialize without car dependency. \nMary Elbech \nWith a background in active transportation planning from Denmark and the Netherlands\, Mary has over a decade of experience in adapting international best practices to work within a local context. Since 2011\, she has supported communities in becoming safer and more bicycle and pedestrian friendly through leading-edge projects around new mobility\, shared spaces\, community-led design\, 20 mph zones\, Complete Streets\, and safe and active school zones. She has worked on the FHWA Bike Facility Selection guidelines\, developed a tactical urbanism workshop series around community-led solutions for safer streets\, and is currently leading Mobycon’s role on the NCHRP Guidebook for Urban and Suburban Cross-Sectional Roadway Reallocation. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina\, and leads Mobycon’s US office. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/0aERApf9tCc\n

SUMMARY:ITE Vancouver Island: New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies - Todd Litman
DESCRIPTION:New transportation technologies and service – from e-scooters to autonomous cars and flying taxis – can expand our world\, providing significant benefits to users\, but these may be offset by the large costs they can impose on communities. As these New Mobilities become more widely available\, how can we maximize their benefits and minimize their risks? Todd Litman’s new book\, “New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies” (https://islandpress.org/books/new-mobilities) critically evaluates 12 developing transportation modes and services that are likely to affect our lives and communities\, and provides practical guidance for optimizing them. Come learn how communities can make informed decisions when planning for transportation innovations. \nPresenter: \nTodd Litman\, Victoria Transportation Policy Institute \nTodd Litman is founder and executive director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute\, an independent research organization dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transport problems. His work helps expand the range of impacts and options considered in transportation decision-making\, improve evaluation methods\, and make specialized technical concepts accessible to a larger audience. His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analysis.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/gK2kSeSEtHg\n

SUMMARY:GVITE Webinar - Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services
DESCRIPTION:Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services\n Abstract: \nOn-demand dynamically routed transportation systems can provide seamless door-to-door mobility including with multi-passenger trips. Although this is a compelling vision\, there are also potential downsides. This presentation compares the transportation performance of single-occupant and multi-occupant on-demand transportation systems to private vehicle use and standard bus service with fixed routes and timetables. The performance is measured and compared using average journey time\, total vehicle kilometres travelled\, and the number of vehicles that are required to meet demand and performance thresholds. \nTo conduct this analysis\, a flexible generic city model was created. This model was developed with characterises representative of a typical North American city including the arterial street network spacing and travel times\, the population density and travel demand patterns\, and the time-of-day travel demand profile. Using this flexible generic city model\, these performance outcomes are evaluated under several different contexts as the characteristics of the city are varied. PTV Visum/MaaS software was utilized to conduct this evaluation. \nUnder the transportation contexts evaluated (relatively large cities with relatively high travel demand)\, traditional fixed-route transit service substantially outperforms demand-responsive multi-occupant services on the transportation metrics evaluated. The relative benefits of transit service tend to be greater as mode share increases and as the size of the service area increases. \nThese results suggest that when automated vehicle technology becomes commonplace\, for large cities the best use may be in increasing the service frequency of traditional transit services on the arterial street network\, rather than by implementing demand-responsive dynamically routed services. The advantages of on-demand services are highest in smaller service areas with low demand for shared transportation. These services could be used to better connect low density areas to the arterial transit network. \n\nPresenters:\nMatt Taylor\, P. Eng.\, M. Eng.\, PTOE \nMatt is a transportation engineer at Bunt & Associates with a background in travel demand forecasting\, traffic operations analysis\, and transportation design. I lead several R&D initiatives at Bunt to extend our knowledge and expertise in new areas. \nNicolas Moss\, EIT \nNicolas is a civil engineer-in-training with experience working in various public- and private-sector capacities in both the US and Canada. His work with Bunt as a transportation analyst has spanned traffic impact assessments\, travel demand forecasting\, parking and circulation studies\, and transportation demand management programs. \nBunt & Associates \nFounded in 1993\, Bunt & Associates Engineering is one of the largest specialist transportation planning and engineering consulting firms in Western Canada. Our team is represented by over 50 of the finest transportation planners\, engineers\, technologists\, and support staff in the industry. We place high value on outstanding service\, building long-term client relationships\, and fostering a family-friendly and supportive culture within all of our offices located in Calgary\, Edmonton\, Vancouver\, and Victoria.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/i3LdDPzQlXE\n

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta November Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Alberta Transportation has a reputation for being very rigid and conservative in our standards and approvals. In this presentation\, I will provide examples in and around Calgary where we have shown a willingness to consider or implement improvements that are outside of our usual practice. They are not intended to set a precedent for use in other locations\, but because of the circumstances and the site specific constraints\, they were considered to be the most cost effective solution to address the issues at hand while protecting the safety and operation of the highway. \nBio: \nJerry has been working in the field of transportation planning for the past 31 years in the government sector since graduating from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Civil Engineering. Currently\, he is the Infrastructure Manager for Alberta Transportation responsible for the grants program\, programming\, project scoping\, development control\, and planning studies for the Southern Region.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/KdWq3sUJJ2w\n
