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. With over 15 years of expertise\, his areas of focus include transportation safety\, accessibility\, conflict/collision analysis\, and risk management. Alexandre plays a crucial role in providing independent opinions on legal matters concerning the design\, construction\, operations\, and maintenance of transportation facilities. His expertise extends to intersections\, interchanges\, highways\, walkways/trails\, bicycleinfrastructures\, and railway crossings. \nAlexandre served as the lead safety expert in a significant legal case presented to the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal. The case involved allegations of discrimination against blind individuals regarding floating bus stops. Alexandre provided expert testimony in court\, showcasing his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. Additionally\, he recently held the esteemed position of Chair for the ITE Canada Accessibility committee. Under his leadership\, the committee conducted a comprehensive state-of-the-practice review of accessibility guidelines in Canada.

Details will be shared with attendees after the event. \nWe are excited to invite you to the ITE Toronto Summer Luncheon happening on Thursday\, June 27\, 2024! This event will be a wonderful opportunity to network\, enjoy a buffet-styled lunch\, and gain insights from two distinguished speakers in the fields of transportation and urban planning. \nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, June 27\, 2024\nTime: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: University of Toronto’s Hart House – Music Room (Room 2006) \nSpeakers and Presentations: \nNaama Blonder\, B.Arch\, OAA\, RPP – “Pro-Housing\, Pro-Transit\, Pro-People” \nNaama Blonder\, an architect and urban planner renowned as this year’s RBC Women of Influence\, will deliver an inspiring presentation focusing on innovative architectural and urban design strategies aimed at fostering affordability\, reducing car dependency\, and achieving net-zero outcomes for sustainability. Highlighting the urgent need to prioritize people over cars\, and alongside her personal story as a first-generation Canadian\, Naama will cover the implications for urban planners\, architects\, industry professionals\, and the general public. Her firm\, Smart Density\, has received numerous accolades\, including the prestigious Best Emerging Practice Award from the Ontario Association of Architects and three consecutive SHIFT awards\, solidifying their innovative approach. Naama’s vision is to transform what good housing can and should look like in a growing city like Toronto – promoting vibrant\, sustainable communities. \n  \nJeffrey M. Casello\, Ph.D. – “The Future of Cities: Expanding the Roles of Transportation Planners and Engineers to Effect Real Change” \nProfessor Casello’s interests lie in urban transportation systems and their impacts on healthy and economically viable urban areas.  For decades\, transportation professionals have recognized the challenges associated with North American transportation and land use systems. Our passenger transportation networks continue to be auto-dominated\, creating environmental externalities\, inequities in terms of accessibility\, and lower quality of life for citizens. His presentation will focus on what more needs to be done to change this. Jeff teaches and conducts research on the planning\, design and operation of systems that promote efficient\, balanced transportation\, enhances regional economic competitiveness and supports social mobility.  His research highlights include contributions to improved behavioural models for transit systems and the assessment of empirical evidence in the planning and design of active transportation modes.  In 2014\, Jeff spoke to members of Canadian Parliament on the future of public transportation.  He has also had the opportunity to consult in Philadelphia\, Toronto\, Washington DC and Singapore.  At Waterloo\, Jeff received the Distinguished Teacher Award\, the highest teaching honor at the University. \nEarn Professional Development Hours: \nBy attending this luncheon\, you can also earn professional development hours\, contributing to your continued professional growth.

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto Section: Webinar "From Speed to Access: Redefining Urban Planning Strategies"
DESCRIPTION:Many jurisdictions are establishing vehicle travel reduction targets and how transportation agencies can help achieve those goals. Vehicle travel reduction targets represent a shift from mobility-based planning\, which assumes that the goal is to maximize traffic speeds\, to accessibility-based planning which strives to minimize the amount of travel required to access services and activities. Vehicle travel reduction targets reduce investments in roadway expansions and parking subsidies\, and increase support for multimodal planning\, improved connectivity\, TDM programs and Smart Growth development policies. These shifts respond to changing user demands and provide many economic\, social and environmental benefits. This webinar should be of interest to anybody who wants to help create a more efficient and equitable transportation system. \nSpeaker \n \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  \n  \n*** \nAs part of its greenhouse gas reduction strategy\, the State of California stopped evaluating projects using vehicular level-of-service and replaced it with assessments of changes in vehicle miles of travel (VMT). The change ran into a host of technical issues that are still being worked through. The problems are particularly acute for projects in small towns and rural areas\, where agencies do not have traffic models designed for this type of analysis. \nGHD has developed a GIS-based methodology for assessing the VMT impacts of proposed land development projects in smaller towns and rural areas. The methodology was designed to be easy to use by agency staff using data and software they already have. It assesses VMT impacts based on residential and employment density\, the proximity of complementary land uses\, and access to a safe bicycling network. Although not perfect\, it does provide a practical tool for agencies with limited resources. \nSpeaker \n \nDon Hubbard is a senior transportation planner and traffic engineer with extensive experience in travel demand forecasting and transportation policy. Don is a rare combination of a “big-picture” regional planner and a detail-oriented traffic engineer. He specializes in highly defensible transportation analyses for projects with a strong likelihood of litigation. Don also develops new techniques for improved modeling. For example\, the “4Ds” post-processor he developed to account for smart growth characteristics is now used in models across the U.S.. Similarly\, his “dynamic validation” technique to assess model performance has now been adopted as standard practice for many agencies. \n  \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Y2JlOTVjZDctODhmOS00NjNiLWE3NWQtYzRiN2UwNTJkNjMw%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

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: Transportation Management of Emergencies in Northern Alberta (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Transportation Management of Emergencies in Northern Alberta \nThe Peace Region has experienced either wildfires or floods every year since 2014. Each year\, it is a matter of when the emergency will strike\, not if. Part of Mae’s work as the Operations Manager includes managing highway closures and evacuation routes during such emergencies. In this presentation\, Mae is going to highlight the importance of networking and planning in advance of a disaster\, as well as regular training and communication. \nProper traffic accommodation is essential to protect both local communities and other road users. Mae will review what was done here in Alberta to aid the thousands of evacuees from the Northwest Territories and how sometimes a small gesture can make a huge difference! \nPresenter: Mae Stewart\, P.Eng \nMae has spent her entire career as a civil engineer in the public service\, working for municipal\, federal and now provincial governments. She has spent the last 16 years working for Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) in Peace River. As the Operations Manager\, Mae oversees the delivery of departmental programs on Alberta’s highway network\, First Nation and Metis Settlement road infrastructure\, park and urban access roads\, and ferries and ice bridges. She is responsible for the delivery of multi-million dollar highway maintenance contracts and provides leadership to a team of engineers and technologists. Mae has been involved in several innovative projects such as the design and construction of a carcass compost\, the construction and maintenance of an bridge across an 800m wide river\, and the creation of a five year strategic people plan to build an engaged and resilient workplace culture. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OGY1Mzg2ZTUtMGMzMS00MjJiLWIyYTUtMDU4YjkxMGYzYmZm%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

Mae will review what was done here in Alberta to aid the thousands of evacuees from the Northwest Territories and how sometimes a small gesture can make a huge difference! \nPresenter: Mae Stewart\, P.Eng \nMae has spent her entire career as a civil engineer in the public service\, working for municipal\, federal and now provincial governments. She has spent the last 16 years working for Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) in Peace River. As the Operations Manager\, Mae oversees the delivery of departmental programs on Alberta’s highway network\, First Nation and Metis Settlement road infrastructure\, park and urban access roads\, and ferries and ice bridges. She is responsible for the delivery of multi-million dollar highway maintenance contracts and provides leadership to a team of engineers and technologists. Mae has been involved in several innovative projects such as the design and construction of a carcass compost\, the construction and maintenance of an bridge across an 800m wide river\, and the creation of a five year strategic people plan to build an engaged and resilient workplace culture. \n

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto Section: A Webinar with Jarrett Walker
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the revised edition of Jarrett Walker’s influential book Human Transit\, Revised Edition: How Clearer Thinking about Public Transit Can Enrich Our Communities and Our Lives. The new edition deepens its explanations about the basic principles of public transit\, informed by his work as a network planning consultant. New topics include the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or “demand response” services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete.  Finally\, he added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit’s success. \n\nSpeaker: \n  \nJarrett Walker\, PhD\, is an international consultant in public transit network design and policy. He has been a full-time consultant since 1991 and has led numerous major planning projects in North America\, Australia\, and New Zealand. He is Founder and Principal Consultant at Jarrett Walker + Associates\, based in Portland\, Oregon. \nHe is the author of the popular public transit blog HumanTransit.org\, and the book Human Transit: How Clearer Thinking about Public Transit Can Enrich Our Communities and Our Lives (Island Press\, 2011). This book is a friendly\, non-technical introduction to transit’s underlying geometry\, and the real value judgments that must be explored to make both transit and development policy. His background integrates an arts and humanities PhD (Stanford\, 1996) with long technical experience in all aspects of transit and its role in city-building. He is a frequent keynote speaker\, teacher\, and facilitator of decision-making processes. \n  \n \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Mjk2Mjg3NjEtY2ZiOS00MmY4LWI4NzMtN2QxZTNhMmM1ZmVh%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

SUMMARY:ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar: Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure
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.

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.
