SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is noon ET on April 28\, 2025. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.Lead Trainer \nMatt has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in civil engineering and nine years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. Matt is an emerging expert in the planning and design of streets\, intersections\, and communities that address the needs of all road users. He has advised on and completed concept and detailed designs for dozens of complete streets and bikeway projects across Canada including the City of Toronto’s ITE-award-winning York University Cycling Connections project. He has contributed to award-winning design guidance documents including the Ottawa Protected Intersection Design Guide and the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide.His experience also includes leading trainings\, including for the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide\, as well as the updated OTM Book 18: Cycling Facilities which he has delivered to over 600 professionals. He was also a trainer for the April 2024 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations \n  \nNarayan Donaldson\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nNarayan has a bachelor’s degree in urban planning and a master’s degree in civil engineering\, and seven years of planning and engineering experience in Canada and the Netherlands. He was the lead trainer for the 2023/24 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations and has co-led in-person workshops such as a network planning exercise at the 2024 Winter Cycling Congress in Edmonton. He has been applying Complete Networks principles in roles such as the Mobycon project leader for the Renfrew County transportation master plan\, and a planner implementing the Town of Canmore’s town centre streetscape plan based on the Complete Networks principles of the Integrated Master Plan \n  \nArianne Robillard\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nArianne has a Master of Science in Civil Engineering specializing in Transportation Planning.

The registration deadline for this event is noon ET on April 28\, 2025. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.Lead Trainer \nMatt has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in civil engineering and nine years of experience in transportation planning and engineering.

SUMMARY:ITE Interior BC/PIBC - 2025 April Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our first event of the year with a technical webinar presented by Sophie Renard\, P.Eng.\, Transportation Analyst at Bunt & Associates Engineering Ltd.! \n“Prioritizing Public Cycling Amenities: An Automated GIS Tool”\nWebinar Description:\nAs cities strive to create complete communities\, equitable and effective access to supportive cycling amenities is vital for promoting sustainable transportation and enhancing urban mobility. Increasing resources are being allocated to provide public bicycle parking facilities; however\, while bicycle end-of-trip (EOT) facilities have become more common in private developments\, there is still a gap in best practice research for implementing EOT facilities in the public realm. \nBunt\, together with the City of Nanaimo\, developed a Bicycle End-of-Trip Facility Priority Index tool to identify\, and prioritize locations for public bike parking and EOT facilities. The Priority Index is a GIS-based tool that utilizes an automated spatial analysis process to score potential bike parking sites across the City.  The tool considers a variety of factors relating to accessibility\, land use\, equity\, and social well-being. Users can adjust the weighting of these criteria to reflect local priorities\, resulting in a tailored approach that meets the specific needs of the community. Bunt will present an overview of the Priority Index tool\, including a highlight of the challenges faced and lessons learns. \nBunt aims to inspire cities to adopt similar tools that support active transportation. Ultimately\, the Priority Index serves as a vital resource in creating healthier\, more connected\, and equitable communities that promote cycling as a sustainable mode of transport. \n \nPresenter – Sophie Renard:\n‘Sophie is a transportation engineer at Bunt & Associates\, bringing several years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. She has collaborated with communities of all sizes across British Columbia and Western Canada to activate pedestrian\, cycling\, and rolling facilities for people of all ages and abilities. Her work encompasses a wide range of projects that enhance urban mobility\, developing her diverse technical skillset and allowing her to stay at the forefront of best practices in active transportation planning and engineering. By supporting sustainable modes and enhancing urban mobility\, Sophie strives to create complete\, connected\, and vibrant communities where everyone can thrive.’ \nThe webinar will be held over Microsoft Teams on April 30\, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. Please RSVP by April 29 to receive the webinar link to attend.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MGJmMThiOWYtN2YxMi00OTJjLWE2Y2MtMzAxY2VmY2NmNmNk%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%224637223a-1556-44a8-8243-cf9ef66f6f62%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22ac1aa780-eff7-45e4-b4d0-c652a45283b6%22%7d\n
