DESCRIPTION:Advancing Your Career Through Certification\nHow can you differentiate yourself in today’s competitive job market? One avenue is demonstrating advanced knowledge and expertise as well as a high level of dedication through the achievement of certification. \nThis webinar will present an overview about the Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) and Professional Transportation Planner (PTP); Road Safety Professional\, Level 1 (RSP1); and Road Safety Professional Level 2 (RSP2) – certifications offered by the Transportation Professional Certification Board (www.tcb.org). In this webinar\, we will provide in-depth information about the RSP certification. \nThe RSP certification establishes a minimum level of knowledge based on the current state of practice\, encourages professional development and growth by applying new concepts\, and creates an environment for universities to expand their curriculum to produce graduates that are proficient in the field of safety. Certified road safety professionals will be recognized for their knowledge\, experience\, and expertise in road safety. \nWith increasing emphasis being placed on consideration of safety in all aspects of transportation management\, the need to recognize road safety as a distinct discipline becomes evident. In 2016\, the Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB) began efforts to develop a Road Safety Professional Certification (RSP). This effort is supported by a broad cross-section of transportation and safety organizations from the United States and Canada and provides two certification levels. This webinar will describe the areas that are covered under RSP Level 1 and RSP Level 2-Infrastructure and Behaviour and how they relate to consideration of safety within an individual’s job. This webinar will also provide the information needed to register and prepare for the certification exams. \nParticipants will also hear about the preparatory resources available through ITE as well as general information about the certification process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how certification can benefit your career development and make you more attractive to prospective employers\nThe attendees will become familiar with the certifications offered by Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB)\nBecome familiar with the two domain areas of the safety disciplines (infrastructure and behaviour) that form the foundation for the RSP certifications.\nLearn about what is needed to apply for and to take the exam/s for potential certification/s at Level 1 and Level 2\nUnderstand general policies and procedures about the certification process\nLearn about available preparatory resources\n\nPresenter Bio\nGeni Bahar\, P.Eng.\, P.E.\, RSP | NAVIGATS Inc. \nMs. Geni Bahar\, P.Eng\, P.E. (civil)\, RSP2I\, FITE has more than forty years of experience in traffic and road safety engineering. She currently serves as the president of NAVIGATS Inc.

SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver Section - Breakfast Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Flowing Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion into the Networks of Transportation Planning and Engineering \nThe ITE Greater Vancouver Section is pleased to have Clark Lim\, P.Eng.\, M.A.Sc.\, FITE\, to present at our breakfast seminar on May 31\, 2023. This event will be hosted in Richmond at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University\, and registration will include a hot breakfast for attendees. \nThe issue of equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) has gained significant traction since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Media incidents highlighting inequality and injustice\, both in the present and past\, have exposed systemic biases ingrained in our society and social norms. Consequently\, this has prompted calls to action for change from elected officials to industry organizations and corporate giants. As professionals\, it is incumbent upon us to respond to these calls. But how do these highly political\, emotionally charged\, and occasionally violent issues pertain to our meek transportation industry? How can we bridge the perceived gap between EDI and our daily work and deliverables? By viewing these issues in a more holistic mirror\, we may find the answers to these questions are closer than they appear. \nClark has three decades of experience in public\, private\, and academic sectors\, specializing in analytical methods and information systems for transportation planning and engineering applications. After completing his graduate research at UBC in driver distraction and attention modelling in the early 90’s\, he ended up at Metro Vancouver where he became involved in the establishment of TransLink and the Major Road Network (MRN). Roles at TransLink included Project Manager of the Evergreen Rapid Transit Line planning and consultation process (2004-2006)\, and Program Manager for the Research and Technical Services group. Currently at Acuere Consulting\, he leads the development of data-fueled cloud-based applications such as congestion measurement systems\, GHG inventory applications\, and EDI tools that help clients measure and improve their corporate sustainability and diversity quotient. Annually\, Clark lectures on transportation engineering and planning at UBC as an Adjunct Professor\, and as a Visiting Professor at the University of Piura\, Peru. At UBC\, he led the development of a triple-bottom-line methodology to measure the performance of the 2010 Olympic Games and future Olympic Games Host Cities\, so they can be positive champions for sustainability and social equity. \nWhen: May 31\, 2023\, 7:30 am – 9:00 am\nWhere: Kwantlen Polytechnic University – Richmond Campus – Room Main – 1380 (8771 Lansdowne Rd\, Richmond\, BC) \nRegistrations are permitted up to the day of the event\, however\, food is not guaranteed for those registering after May 24\, 2023. \nRegistration Fees: \nMembers – $20\nNon-members – $25\nStudents – $10

SUMMARY:Protected Intersection Design
DESCRIPTION:Note that this session will qualify for PDH credit for attendees.\n \nThis is an in-person session to be held in Winnipeg\, MB over two days\, Wednesday\, June 7th from 1:45 PM to 5:15 PM and Thursday from 8:30AM to Noon\, June 8th.\n \nSession is being held over two days immediately following the ITE Canada/CARSP Conference in Winnipeg. For more information about the conference and hotel bookings\, visit the conference website.\n \nProtected Intersection Design\nProtected intersection design is an approach that intends to improve safety and comfort for all ages and abilities of people cycling and walking through intersections. The planning\, design\, and implementation of protected intersections has many aspects that require a thoughtful design approach\, including addressing universal design and accessibility\, complexity of traffic signals\, and winter maintenance. \nThis training will expose transportation professionals to the principles of protected intersection design. The training will draw on forward-thinking design guidance and real-world case studies from around North America and internationally to help participants build an understanding of different approaches to key design issues and trade-offs. Participants will learn to think creatively and outside-the-box in how they tackle practical design issues that municipalities encounter every day. \nThrough this training\, participants will: \n\nBecome familiar and comfortable with protected intersection design principles and how they change with the local context;\nProvide an awareness of guidance available regionally\, nationally\, and internationally to supplement and advance design;\nUse interactive group design exercises to allow participants to gain experience using protected intersection design principles to achieve a better active transportation network\n\nThe training sessions will be structured to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of protected intersection design. The sessions will be organized as follows: \n\nBrief overview of protected intersections\, including:\n\nIssues for people walking and cycling in typical intersection design\nWhy protected intersections are important and address typical issues for people walking and cycling\nPrinciples of protected intersection design\n\n\nBreakout session #1:\n\nParticipants will review an existing [unprotected] intersection that will be provided and identify potential conflict points and other issues for people walking and cycling\nDifferent contexts of intersections (urban\, suburban\, irregular) will be used in the breakout sessions\n\n\nCase studies to illustrate specific design issues\, including:\n\nTransit stop integration o Constrained contexts\nComplex junctions of bikeways and trails\nHigh-volume turning movements\nLarge vehicle turning movements\nMaterials and elevations\nPaths of travel for people walking and cycling\n\n\nBreakout session #2:\n\nEach breakout room will have a different design issue\nParticipants will use the information provided in the training to provide design ideas to improve their intersection and then present to the group\n\n\nBuilding on the break-out session\, Alta will discuss the different design issues and how each design response can come together into a cohesive design that addresses more than one design issue\nDiscussion about monitoring of the effectiveness of innovative approaches and how design might evolve\n\nKate Whitfield\, P.Eng\, MCIP\, RPP is a Principal with Alta Planning + Design\, Canada. She leads the Canadian operation from the headquarters in Ottawa. As a Professional Engineer and Professional Planner\, Kate brings a unique perspective to technical training courses. Kate’s work with protected intersection design extends from the creation of guidance documents to the development of functional and detailed design and through to implementation and construction. Kate has worked on multi-modal transportation and city building projects from coast to coast to coast in Canada. \nNataliya Pekar is an Associate and Senior Civil Engineer with Alta Planning + Design Canada. She works on active transportation projects across the country and spends her days applying a Complete Street lens to reimagining our streets.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Section: June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:How Community Values Influence Transit Network Design – Coverage vs. Ridership\nTransit agencies are often tasked with two goals: attracting customers (ridership) and ensuring that service available to as many people as possible regardless if they will use it (coverage). Both are important but result in contradictory pressures for network design\, particularly in how an agency’s limited resources must be allocated across an urban area. \nThis creates an inherent trade-off\, where communities consider the relative importance of these two missions against broader societal goals. This can be answered\, in part\, by asking “who is transit for?” \nIn this talk\, Filip Majcherkiewicz (Team Lead of Service Planning\, Calgary Transit) will discuss how the degree to which coverage or ridership is prioritized can influence network design and overall service quality outcomes. \nBiography\n \n \nFilip Majcherkiewicz is a Registered Professional Planner specializing in transit planning. He earned a Master of Planning degree at the University of Waterloo where his research focused on the land use impacts of Calgary’s LRT system. He joined Calgary Transit’s Service Planning division in 2014\, a team he now leads. Filip has led numerous transit service plans\, notably the launch of the MAX Bus Rapid Transit lines in 2018-19. Born and raised in Calgary\, his interests seek to understand the relationship between urban development patterns and travel behaviour\, and how to build multi-modal cities with equitable mobility networks. Outside of work Filip is still working to uncover the mysteries of truly amazing sourdough bread. You can usually find him catching a bus near you.
