DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, November 30th (12-1:30PM) for the CITE Atlantic Provinces Section’s second virtual Lunch & Learn Session. The first hour of the session (12-1PM) will include two approximately 20-minute presentations (see details below)\, with time for a few questions and discussion following each. During the final half hour (1-1:30PM)\, we will hold our Annual General Meeting and swear in our new executive. \nPresenter: Taylor Owen\, Climate Change Specialist\, Energy & Environment\, Halifax Regional Municipality \nTopic: HalifACT – Halifax’s New Climate Plan \nTaylor Owen is a creative policy developer\, an environmental innovator and collaborator whose work is focused on climate change mitigation\, sustainable transportation\, and community development. She currently holds the role of Climate Change Specialist with the Energy & Environment division at Halifax Regional Municipality where she is working to implement HalifACT – Acting on Climate Together\, Halifax’s ambitious climate change plan. Taylor believes that the key to successful climate work is integrating a lens of social equity\, building inclusive and trusting relationships\, and incorporating creativity and art. Taylor completed a Bachelor of Management majoring in Sustainable Resource and Environmental Management from Dalhousie University. \nPresenter: Dave McCusker\, P.Eng. Sr. Transportation Engineer\, WSP Canada \nTopic: Investigating the Use of Bus on Shoulder in Halifax \nDave McCusker is a Senior Transportation Engineer with WSP Canada’s Dartmouth office. Prior to joining WSP in 2008\, Dave spent twenty years at Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) holding management roles in traffic operations\, transportation planning and parking. Throughout his career at HRM\, he demonstrated a passion for transit priority\, implementing the region’s first transit priority measures on the Macdonald Bridge approaches and creating MetroLINK\, the region’s first comprehensive rapid bus and transit priority project. \nDave will discuss HRM’s recent investigation of Bus on Shoulder operation\, a project that he led on behalf of WSP. HRM has committed a substantial investment into widening a section of Bayers Road to create new dedicated transit lanes. But to avoid all of the morning congestion\, Bayers Road is only a part of the puzzle. Chronic congestion on Highway 102 leading into Bayers Road is also a significant cause of delay. The Bus on Shoulder Study\, commissioned by HRM and conducted by WSP Canada documented how cities in North America and beyond have developed protocols that allow public transit buses to use highway shoulders as a means of by-passing stop-and-go traffic. The presentation shows how successful lessons learned elsewhere were applied in developing a low-cost design approach for Highway 102 along with management and communications strategies. A number of traffic engineering “first principles” were challenged in developing the recommended plan.

SUMMARY:Southern Alberta ITE February Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Guest presenters: \nRegional Transportation Planning – HDR \nThe continued growth of urban areas throughout North America has created the need for new planning techniques to coordinate across traditional municipal boundaries. A regional perspective is often needed understand the major issues and opportunities that our cities face\, and to identify the best way forward. When successfully implemented\, regional transportation planning is a powerful tool that can be used to bring independent jurisdictions together\, aligning their approaches to long-range transportation planning\, enabling them to collectively advocate for shared improvements and funding\, and ultimate support a collective regional vision or plan. \nOur recent experience helping regions in British Columbia\, Alberta and Ontario plan for their future has enabled us to learn how to bring together municipalities to develop forward-thinking transportation plans at the regional level. In our presentation we will go through our approach and experience on the recently completed Regional Transportation Plan for the Central Okanagan\, the first of its kind for the Kelowna Region. We cover the approaches and strategies that we used and lessons learned in areas including project organization\, stakeholder management and engagement\, and analysis methodologies that can be used to align visions and build agreement for the mutual benefit of all partners. \nStephen Power\, P.Eng.\, RPP\, MCIP \nStephen is a Senior Transportation Planner and Engineer with over 30 years of experience in transportation and environmental planning. He has a strong understanding of the regional issues\, with experience in regional and intermunicipal transportation and environmental planning across Canada\, and in New Zealand and Australia. He is currently leading the Edmonton Metropolitan Region’s Integrated Regional Transportation Master Plan and recently completed the Central Okanagan’s first regional transportation plan. He is a skilled communicator with an ability to make technical topics easily understood. Stephen has recently managed complex multi-jurisdictional transportation projects such as the Central Okanagan Planning Study\, Deerfoot Trail Study\, and the on-going Calgary Metropolitan Region Growth and Servicing Plan. \n \nLynn Machacek\, P.Eng. \nLynn is a transportation engineer and planner with broad experience in multi-modal transportation engineering\, analysis\, planning\, engagement\, and goods movement. He is passionate about creating great places and travel options\, and has been the lead transportation planner on regional transportation planning projects\, goods movement studies\, and large scale multi-modal micro-simulation analyses. His work has included in-depth stakeholder consultation for network and regional planning studies\, the identification and analysis of multi-modal issues and solutions at varied scales\, and the development of evaluation and prioritization methodologies for regional transportation planning projects. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/175312981\n

SUMMARY:CITE Vancouver Island: Transportation Planning: Lessons from the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Todd Litman\nVictoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtpi.org) \nThe COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our lives and communities in countless ways\, including travel demands. This interactive presentation will explore key lessons for transportation practitioners: \n\nHow the pandemic is affecting travel activity and is likely to affect future demands.\nThe contagion risks associated with different travel modes and how to minimize those risks.\nHow planning can respond to quarantine and lockdown mobility and exercise needs.\nHow we can better respond to the transport needs of households that lose incomes.\nHow to develop a more resilient transportation system that can respond to changing demands and unexpected shocks.\n\nThese issues are challenging and unresolved. The first half of this luncheon will consist of a presentation based on my report\, “Pandemic Resilient Community Planning” (www.vtpi.org/PRCP.pdf). The second half will involve a group discussion of the key lessons we’ve learned from this experience\, how our profession and communities can better respond to changing and unpredictable travel demands. \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. \nRegister here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7169464937840371725
