SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Luncheon: Human Factors and Traffic Engineering - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bridging Human Factors and Traffic Engineering to Improve Road Safety \nHuman factors play a foundational role in transportation safety\, shaping how road users perceive\, interpret\, and respond to the roadway environment. Despite advances in geometric design\, traffic control\, and safety analysis\, many collisions still arise from mismatches between roadway design and human capabilities or limitations. Modern safety philosophies such as the Safe System and Vision Zero frameworks emphasize creating transportation networks that anticipate real-world human behavior and minimize the consequences of error. \nWhile traditional traffic engineering focuses on geometric design and regulatory compliance\, it can overlook elements such as driver perception\, cognitive workload\, and decision-making. This presentation will demonstrate how integrating Human Factors and Traffic Engineering expertise can improve safety outcomes. Through case studies and applied research\, we will explore how behavioral insights combined with engineering analysis can identify latent risks\, enhance intersection design\, and support the implementation of cost effective countermeasures. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 12\, 2026 \nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm MST \nLocation: Sandman Hotel Calgary\, 888 7 Ave. SW\, Calgary\, AB T2P 3J3 Canada \n==The deadline to register is 5 pm on May 5\, 2026== \n \nPresenter Bios: \n \nJason Kumagai\, M.Sc.\, CCPE\, CHFP – Practice Lead\, Human Factors \nJason Kumagai is Practice Lead of the Human Factors group at 30 Forensic Engineering. During his career in Human Factors\, Jason has conducted and managed projects and research in Human Factors in a wide range of industries including energy\, health care\, transportation\, defence\, and mining. Specializing in fatigue risk management\, he has helped companies develop and implement fatigue risk management programs\, including investigations of major accidents. Jason is a certified Human Factors/ Ergonomics professional in both Canada and the U.S. and is nationally recognized for his leadership in Human Factors and Fatigue Management.

SUMMARY:ITE National Capital Section: 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday\, May 15\, 2026 \n\n9:00 AM: Doors open + networking\n9:30 AM: Welcome + breakfast\n10:00 AM: Ata M. Khan Lifetime Achievement Award Presentation\n10:15 AM: Project of Year Award + Presentation\n11:00 AM: Closing + networking\n\nWhere: Britannia Yacht Club\, 2777 Cassels St\, Ottawa\, ON \n==Registration closes May 12\, 2026 at noon== \nAta M. Khan Award 2026 Recipient\nBassam Hamwi\, M.Eng. P.Eng. \nBassam earned his Bachelor of Engineering and Master’s degrees from Carleton University in 1991 and 1993\, respectively. Throughout a distinguished 33-year tenure in the consulting industry\, he held progressive leadership roles\, culminating in his appointment as Vice President of Transportation Planning at Morrison Hershfield in 2023. Guided by a lifelong commitment to learning and a passion for the early Church tradition\, Bassam is currently pursuing graduate theological studies in Pennsylvania. \nBassam has continuously contributed to the advancement of the profession. He has numerous publications over the years to his credit\, and has been a member of numerous national technical committees including the Transportation Association of Canada’s Connected and Automated Vehicles Integrated Committee; Finance Standing Committee; and Green Guide for Roads Task Force. \nBassam has received a number of awards of excellence during his career\, and was part of a number of local award-winning projects including most notably the “Gold Award” from the Canadian Council for Public Private Partnerships for Ottawa Confederation Line Preliminary Design & Procurement as well as the “Excellence in Planning Award” from the Professional Planners Institute Ottawa Road & Transit Master Plan. \nProject of the Year Award 2026\nOttawa River Transit On-Demand Pilot Service \nIn 2025\, the City of Pembroke launched its first conventional transit service in nearly thirty years. Ottawa River Transit\, an on-demand transit service\, provides residents with access to transit throughout the community. The service operates from Monday to Saturday with a dynamic routing algorithm that allows riders the ability to book their trip as little as 15 minutes beforehand. Since launching in August\, the response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive with more than 15\,000 rides completed. The early success of the service can be attributed to developing a right-sized solution for the community and a robust and on-going communications plan. \nPresenter: Angela Lochtie \nAngela Lochtie is the Director of Corporate Services (Treasurer/Deputy Clerk) and now Transit Liaison for the City of Pembroke\, where she brings financial leadership\, municipal expertise\, and a practical belief that good ideas need more than spreadsheets to succeed. Her passion for transit started long before Ottawa River Transit. As a university student in Montreal and later a young professional in Ottawa\, Angela relied on public transit because\, like many people starting out\, she had big goals\, big student loans\, and no money for a car. When she moved to the Ottawa Valley with her young family about 15 years ago\, she recognized that while the region is a beautiful place to live\, transportation can be a real barrier. She championed this project because she understands firsthand that affordable transit is more than a ride — it is access to jobs\, education\, community\, and opportunity. That is what made Ottawa River Transit so important to her: the belief that affordable transportation helps level the playing field and opens the door to connection\, employment\, and belonging for everyone. Everyone deserves a way to get to where they want to go. \nPresenter: Jordan Papazoglou\, P.Eng. \nJordan Papazoglou\, P.Eng is a Senior Transit Innovator at Left Turn Right Turn (LTRT) with experience in working with small and rural communities like Pembroke and North Grenville to develop and improve their transit systems. Jordan and LTRT have supported the City of Pembroke over the past two years in launching their transit service. \n \n

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Geometric Design: Fundamentals and Emerging Practices in Urban Street Design - Jun 2026
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, June 18\, 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. This may include transportation planners\, technologists\, engineers\, landscape architects\, and others involved in the planning\, design\, and operation of urban streets. \nFACILITATORS\nShawn Smith\, P.Eng.\, PMP\, RSP1\nLead Trainer \nShawn Smith is a civil and transportation engineer with 23+ years of experience delivering active transportation\, complete streets\, and road safety initiatives across the public and private sectors.
