SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Addressing Today's Community Health and Well-being Priorities - Opportunities for Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with APPI\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: April 7\nIcebreaker Social: 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: April 7 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nNon-communicable diseases such as heart disease and strokes\, diabetes\, cancers and mental health conditions are now the leading causes of mortality and morbidity\, and healthcare costs\, across provinces in Canada. Many such chronic diseases are also risk factors for severe infection for COVID-19. Our populations are also aging. The scientific evidence is growing about the role that community and street designs play in impacting people’s ability to be regularly active through active transportation like walking\, cycling and transit use\, and in people’s ability to access healthy foods and beverages and active recreation opportunities which also support healthier dietary behaviours and physical activity. Community and street designs supportive of active transportation modes have also been shown to be associated with decreased social isolation\, sense of stress and crime\, and with increased economic benefits such as retail sales and job creation. \nThis presentation will discuss these issues and case studies illustrating global best practices and the opportunities for collaboration between transportation and health professionals.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers \nDr. Karen Lee\, MD\, MHSc\, FRCPC is author of the recent book Fit Cities. She is Associate Professor in the Division of Preventive Medicine\, Dept of Medicine at the University of Alberta. She also directs the Housing for Health Project\, bringing together over 150 multi-sector partners across multiple Canadian provinces to improve housing developments\, and neighbourhoods and streets for active living\, healthy food access and social connections. Dr. Lee returned to Canada in 2018 after a decade and a half away in the U.S.\, first working for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Epidemic Intelligence Service\, then for ~9 years in New York City’s (NYC) Health Department as Inaugural Director of Healthy Built Environments and Deputy to the Assistant Commissioner of Chronic Disease Prevention and Control during Mayor Bloomberg’s administration.

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section Webinar: Transit Planning in Winnipeg
DESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be holding a webinar on Transit planning in Winnipeg. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nRegister here or via the event website below. \nSpeaker 1 \nKevin Sturgeon is a transportation engineer and Senior Transit Planner for Winnipeg Transit. He has over 15 years of experience in multi-modal transportation planning\, policy\, design\, and standards development in the public and private sectors. Kevin is a user of several modes of transportation and believes communities benefit from enabling individuals to choose the mode that suits them. \nThe Winnipeg Transit Master Plan is the first comprehensive master plan for public transit service and infrastructure in Winnipeg’s history. Winnipeg Transit worked with consultants Stantec and subconsultants HTFC\, Argyle\, and MORR on a two-year effort to ascertain Winnipegger’s mobility needs\, based on data and public feedback\, and create a network that helps people get where they need to go. With this plan\, the transit route network will be redesigned to enable people of all abilities to travel anywhere\, anytime\, often with no need for a schedule. The new transit network is centred on three rapid transit lines running to each corner of the city. The heart of this rapid transit system will be Union Station\, attracting new life to this landmark heritage building as the city’s flagship mobility hub. \nSpeaker 2 \nGraeme Masterton is the current Global Transit Planning Lead for Stantec located in the Victoria BC office. Graeme has over 33 years of experience in the transit industry\, working at three transit agencies (Calgary\, TransLink\, BC Transit) and two Olympic Games (Vancouver\, London). He currently works on transit\, resort\, and venue projects across North America with a focus on transit and multimodal integration. He was the co-creator of the Frequent Transit Network concept in Vancouver with Jarrett Walker. \nGraeme will present the structure of the Winnipeg transit network and how it will transform from a confusing mix of multi-purpose routes to a system of primary and feeder routes\, with feeder routes tailored to getting people from their neighborhoods to a primary route and primary routes that move people longer distances. \nSpeaker 3 \nBob Kurylko is a Senior Transportation Engineer located in the Stantec Winnipeg office. With over 40 years in the transportation field\, in public service and private industry\, Bob remains a significant contributor to many iconic projects around the City of Winnipeg. He continues to be involved in transportation planning for many major development projects in and around the City\, across Manitoba\, and into Ontario and Saskatchewan. With roots in Traffic Operations and Traffic Engineering\, he remains a strong advocate for designing roads that reflect the context of the facility and embracing technology in the planning of transportation facilities so they meet the needs of all users. \nBob will demonstrate how Stantec leveraged cell phone and ridership data as part of the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan\, as well as how community needs were identified and incorporated in the design of local and primary routes. \nSpeaker 4 \nTeresa Platt is a clinically trained health care provider with the City of Winnipeg. Teresa is currently the A/Manager of the Client Services Division at the Transit Department. Teresa has dedicated her professional career as a leader in the cross sections of health care\, regulatory & transportation industries. Her work has been published in professional journals\, presented at various conferences/symposiums and lecturers at the University of Manitoba for the Department of Occupational Therapy. As an investigator for a professional regulatory body\, she has expanded her knowledge of advanced investigation skills and procedural fairness. \nNow more than ever\, as highlighted over this past year\, has the global connection between health care and transportation stood so evident. Gone are the days where public transportation is a simple task of moving people from one point to another. We are arriving and even catapulting ahead\, to recognizing transportation as an integral link to a person’s quality of life\, as recently noted by the World Health Organization (WHO). This presentation will review the key elements of a travel chain perspective and the paradigm shift in the public transportation continuum of services available for the citizens of Winnipeg.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Public Transit and a Green\, Inclusive Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 5\nIcebreaker Social: 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: May 5 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nHear about the Canadian Urban Transit Association’s (CUTA) National Transit Recovery Strategy \nDavid Cooper\, Principal of Leading Mobility authored COVID-19\, Public Transit\, and a Green\, Inclusive Recovery Strategy. This strategy was developed to inform discussions with partners in the Canadian Federal Government on the funding and policy support transit agencies need for economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. CUTA’s recovery strategy highlights the choice facing Canada – a choice between a future with more congestion\, transport for those who can afford it\, and higher emissions\, or a future with better connected communities\, more equitable cities\, and real action on climate change. \nThree key themes arose during the development of the recovery strategy. 1) The need for ongoing operating support to keep public transit a safe and convenient transportation option. 2) The goal of continuing to complete transit networks to create fairer mobility options that lower emissions and create middle class jobs. 3) Decarbonizing transit fleets to meet climate goals faster. UITP members from other nations can glean insights on our strategies to build a more green and inclusive recovery focused on continued investment in public transit. \nSince the release of the strategy the Federal Government has committed to the funding recommendations identified throughout this foundational document including up to $4.2 billion towards electrification efforts\, which will assist in deploying 5\,000 zero emission buses across the country and sustained long term capital funding through the creation of the Permanent Transit Fund. Last year also marked Canada’s first ever Federal funding support for transit operating budgets to cover the revenue shortfall from the collapse of ridership during the first wave of the pandemic. The recovery strategy intervenes at a key moment of both uncertainty and opportunity to advocate for the role transit can and should play in Canada’s recovery from the pandemic. The goals and recommendations found in the strategy were designed to align with the Federal Government’s policy priorities on climate change\, economic resiliency\, equity\, and pandemic response. The strategy was developed through significant engagement with transit systems\, businesses\, and external partners. CUTA’s Recovery Task Force overseeing this work consisted of over 20 organizations\, including 16 of the largest transit agencies in Canada including Edmonton Transit Service\, Calgary Transit and Strathcona County Transit. \nClick here for a link to the National Transit Recovery Strategy. \nRegistration link is below. \nAbout the Speakers \nDavid Cooper\, MPl.\, MCIP\, RPP\, Principal\, Leading Mobility Consulting \nOver the past 15 years\, David Cooper has contributed to numerous transformative transportation initiatives across Canada. David is the founder and principal of Leading Mobility\, a transportation planning firm that offers strategic and planning support for public transit\, infrastructure delivery\, stakeholder support\, and government relations projects and initiatives. \nSome of David’s significant transportation contributions include planning the Relief Line Subway and King Street Pilot in Toronto; procurement support for the Broadway Subway Project and development of TransLink’s Battery-Electric bus program in Vancouver; implementation of LRT/BRT expansion and regional transit in Calgary. David recently authored the Canadian Urban Transit Association’s COVID-19 National Recovery Strategy\, a foundational plan which has helped to obtain emergency operational funding to maintain transit service during the acute stage of the pandemic and to secure long term capital funding to position public transit at the centre of economic recovery. \nDavid firmly believes in supporting and facilitating success for new community builders. Through his work teaching as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Calgary\, University of Toronto\, and Ryerson University\, he instructs future planners on transportation policy\, planning processes\, and public consultation. \nDavid’s contributions to city building and transportation have been nationally recognized. He was the recipient of the ‘President’s Award for Young Planner of the Year’ granted by the Canadian Institute of Planners\, the ‘Individual Leadership Award’ from the Canadian Urban Transit Association\, and received Mass Transit’s ‘Top 40 Under 40 Award’ in North America. \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees the opportunity to mingle just like we would if we were back at the Faculty Club. Participants will be split into breakout rooms to facilitate conversations. This is optional\, anyone who is not interested in the social may log in for 12:15 PM for the webinar.

SUMMARY:SAITE May Event - Student Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Design Safe and Efficient Public Transit System in Response to COVID-19\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global community in almost every aspect of society. These impacts have led to continued struggles for organizations and industries to adapt to the new reality imposed on them by the pandemic. A common symptom among industries like transit\, is a downturn in demand for their services often resulting from a lack of rider confidence. The reduction in transit ridership during the pandemic can be attributed to many factors including increased prevalence of working from home (WFH)\, social distancing\, rider apprehension and various other governmental directives. Rider safety as it relates to virus spread has become more important with the prevalence of the COVID-19 and has further increased the need for designs that mitigate the spread of the virus. The purpose of this project was to retrofit or redesign various transit elements specifically within train stations to improve the level of social distancing in these areas as well as quantify the levels of disease transmission risk within stations. This was done using a simulated model of Marlborough station using the software Vissim with various designs implemented within\, the outputs of this design contained certain variables such as pedestrian density and travel time which were then used in a risk function to assess the benefit of these designs in mitigating the risk of COVID-19 disease transmission and compared to the cost of these designs. Final designs were selected after exploring various alternatives using this model and analysis. A critical aspect of this methodology is that the models could be used to monitor further changes to the transit system as well as test other potential designs by simply changing design elements and altering the inputs which allows for greater flexibility and reproducibility. \nAutonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD)\nWith the advent of autonomous vehicles\, rideshare apps\, and electric vehicles\, a new system of transportation is emerging from the nexus of these three technologies\, called Autonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD). Autonomous electric vehicles will be integrated as rideshares into the transportation system of cities\, overhauling the dominance of individual owner-driver internal combustion vehicles in cities today. This process will be led by an alliance of different companies such as Tesla (AV and EV)\, Uber (rideshare)\, and Google (AV) with municipalities worldwide. For cities to integrate this new and disruptive technology into transportation networks\, their effects must be analyzed and changes to current networks should be made to optimise the transition. This report outlines the result of quantitatively and qualitatively assessing the effect of AMoD for inner Calgary and makes infrastructure and policy recommendations to develop a future transportation network that enhances quality of life. We developed three pick-up drop-off (PUDO) designs by utilizing researched literature with each design having a unique configuration and layout depending on traffic parameters. We examined potential risks around implementing a project of such a large magnitude\, created curbside designs for PUDO points and assessed their effectiveness\, and mapped out optimized network locations for the various curbside designs provided. A simulation using MATSim was developed to compare the numerical data of a base network and followed up by three different models which were utilized in an iterative process to plot variations of the PUDO locations and street design on a map of the entire network until optimal solutions for both vehicles and pedestrians converged in the indicators of the software output. The final optimized network ensures increased walkability and active mode alternatives\, reclaimed green space\, improved environmental quality\, and increased safety in the network as analyzed by the aforementioned simulation outputs\, cost estimation comparisons\, and reclaimed area measurements.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/508898061\n

Rider safety as it relates to virus spread has become more important with the prevalence of the COVID-19 and has further increased the need for designs that mitigate the spread of the virus. The purpose of this project was to retrofit or redesign various transit elements specifically within train stations to improve the level of social distancing in these areas as well as quantify the levels of disease transmission risk within stations. This was done using a simulated model of Marlborough station using the software Vissim with various designs implemented within\, the outputs of this design contained certain variables such as pedestrian density and travel time which were then used in a risk function to assess the benefit of these designs in mitigating the risk of COVID-19 disease transmission and compared to the cost of these designs. Final designs were selected after exploring various alternatives using this model and analysis. A critical aspect of this methodology is that the models could be used to monitor further changes to the transit system as well as test other potential designs by simply changing design elements and altering the inputs which allows for greater flexibility and reproducibility. \nAutonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD)\nWith the advent of autonomous vehicles\, rideshare apps\, and electric vehicles\, a new system of transportation is emerging from the nexus of these three technologies\, called Autonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD). Autonomous electric vehicles will be integrated as rideshares into the transportation system of cities\, overhauling the dominance of individual owner-driver internal combustion vehicles in cities today. This process will be led by an alliance of different companies such as Tesla (AV and EV)\, Uber (rideshare)\, and Google (AV) with municipalities worldwide. For cities to integrate this new and disruptive technology into transportation networks\, their effects must be analyzed and changes to current networks should be made to optimise the transition. This report outlines the result of quantitatively and qualitatively assessing the effect of AMoD for inner Calgary and makes infrastructure and policy recommendations to develop a future transportation network that enhances quality of life. We developed three pick-up drop-off (PUDO) designs by utilizing researched literature with each design having a unique configuration and layout depending on traffic parameters. We examined potential risks around implementing a project of such a large magnitude\, created curbside designs for PUDO points and assessed their effectiveness\, and mapped out optimized network locations for the various curbside designs provided. A simulation using MATSim was developed to compare the numerical data of a base network and followed up by three different models which were utilized in an iterative process to plot variations of the PUDO locations and street design on a map of the entire network until optimal solutions for both vehicles and pedestrians converged in the indicators of the software output. The final optimized network ensures increased walkability and active mode alternatives\, reclaimed green space\, improved environmental quality\, and increased safety in the network as analyzed by the aforementioned simulation outputs\, cost estimation comparisons\, and reclaimed area measurements.

SUMMARY:CITE - NCS Event May - Parkways For People
DESCRIPTION:Parkways for People \nOptimizing the use of the right of way for people rather than for vehicles is becoming increasingly important through many lenses. The COVID-19 pandemic has served as an accelerator for this process\, highlighting the need to provide more space for the active modes of transportation. As part of a complete response\, the National Capital Commission has provided exclusive access to the Capital’s scenic parkways to create more space for physical and mental well-being. \nBio: \nBruce Devine is the Senior Manager of Facilities and Programs\, Urban Lands and Greenbelt Division with the National Capital Commission (NCC)\, a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada. \nBruce provides leadership for site use of all Capital urban parks\, parkways and multi-use pathways within the nation’s Capital. His team annually issues over 250 event permits\, ranging from major to regional events\, to picnics and weddings. Bruce also manages the operations of the Rideau Canal Skateway and the Weekend Bikedays programs\, both of which contribute to visitors’ experience of the Capital as well as to the residents’ enjoyment. \nBruce brings more than 25 years of experience in major special events management and oversight of municipal sports facility operation and construction. Most recently\, he led the development of the Capital Pathway Strategic Plan as well as implementing NCC’s pilot project of providing up to 20 kilometers of closed parkways to active users. \nRegister via the link below
