SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence - September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 – 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 am – 1:00 pm PT \nLocation: Virtual. The virtual meeting details will be emailed to registered attendees the day before or on the morning of the training. \nRegistration deadline: September 17\, 2025 at 12 noon ET \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \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. Her experience includes transportation and mobility research\, active transportation\, transit-oriented development\, and accessibility.

SUMMARY:[ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar] Island Platform Bus Stops - Emerging Trends\, Technologies & Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:Registration closes on Wednesday\, September 24. 1.5 Professional Development Hours/Credits (PDH) will be available for this webinar. \nIn 2024\, TransLink\, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTT)\, developed the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure (download here\, PDF 14.8 MB) to provide province-wide design guidance for “island platform bus stops” or “floating bus stops” in British Columbia. The award-winning 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. However\, the Design Guide was not able to address all of the issues identified by people with disabilities\, notably\, the ability to detect a person cycling approach and the ability to have confidence that a person cycling has stopped. \nSince the Design Guide was published in 2024\, the design of island platform bus stops has continued to evolve across Canada and internationally as practitioners advance their understanding of accessibility needs within a North American context\, with treatments such as on-board announcements\, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)\, bicycle signals\, tactile wayfinding\, and other technologies being explored in various jurisdictions. This virtual session will provide an update on emerging trends and technologies for island platform bus stops along with lessons learned from Canada\, the United States\, and internationally. \nThe webinar will be led by Brian Patterson (Urban Systems) and Dylan Passmore (Street Matters) along with staff from the City of Montreal\, City of New Westminster\, District of Saanich\, and TransLink. Due to popular demand after the initial joint ITE Canada/CARSP webinar on this topic in 2024\, this follow-up webinar is an opportunity to hear from more speakers and delve into newer developments on the topic. \nRegistration for this webinar is FREE for current ITE and CARSP members.
