SUMMARY:Webinar: Automated Speed Enforcement in Toronto School Zones: Evidence of Safer Speeds
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP) is kindly offering free registration for ITE members to this October 20th webinar on Automated Speed Enforcement in Toronto School Zones: Evidence of Safer Speeds presented by Dr. Linda Rothman. \nDr. Rothman will present the results of a collaborative study between SickKids\, Toronto Metropolitan University and the City of Toronto. The study evaluated the impact of automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras in school zones across Toronto between 2020 and 2022. Using a quasi-experimental design\, the research measured vehicle speeds before\, during\, and after camera deployment at 250 sites. The findings showed a 45% reduction in the proportion of vehicles speeding\, a 10 km/h drop in the 85th percentile speed\, and an 87% decrease in severe speeding (20 km/h or more over the limit) when cameras were active. The study highlights ASE as an effective tool for improving safety in school zones by reducing dangerous driving speeds. \nSpeakers\nDr. Linda Rothman is an Associate Professor at the School of Occupational and Public Health at Toronto Metropolitan University and an Associate Professor (status only) at the University of Toronto. She is an epidemiologist with expertise in vulnerable road user injuries in urban environments. She holds several Canadian Institutes of Health Research grants\, including the Healthy Cities CapaCITY/É implementation science team grant involving researchers working together with municipalities across Canada and Australia to examine the implementation and evaluation of interventions focused on speed reduction and All Ages and Abilities Bicycle Networks. \nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for this webinar is FREE for current CARSP and ITE Canada members. \nNon-members are welcome to purchase a ticket for $50. \nRegistration closes October 19 on the CARSP website here

SUMMARY:[TRAINING • In-Person] Transportation Equity: Developing Solutions for Social Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 23\, 2025 \nTime: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM \nLocation: BA Group’s Head Office at 95 St. Clair Avenue West\, 10th Floor\, Suite 1000\, Toronto\, ON \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. This workshop is also being offered virtually on November 4.\n \nWorkshop Description\nTransportation systems shape access to opportunities\, yet mobility inequalities persist. Social exclusion in mobility is not a new issue\, but systematic inclusion principles and processes remain limited\, and the knowledge in this area is yet to be fully developed. This training course seeks to help transportation professionals understand how changes to transportation systems can be more socially inclusive and address issues of inequality. \nSupported by internal research and developed by a diverse team of experts\, this workshop combines strong theoretical foundations with practical applications to offer a comprehensive approach to transportation equity. Participants will learn how transportation equity principles\, tools\, and solutions translate into real action and change the course of transportation infrastructure programs and delivery.  The goal is to equip transportation practitioners with the tools to create more inclusive\, resilient\, and just mobility systems. \nParticipants will gain practical strategies and real-world insights to apply transportation equity principles in their daily work. Through case studies and expert guidance\, they will learn how to turn equity concepts into actionable solutions that shape inclusive policies\, programs\, and infrastructure. This course will provide alternative perspectives to align transportation policies\, programs and implementation with the Canadian National Human Rights Charter\, treating equity as a fundamental right\, not just as an additional consideration. Training content highlights systemic exclusion\, its impact on marginalized communities\, and strategies to mitigate unintended consequences and address equity gaps. By integrating well-established and emerging transportation equity concepts into practical applications\, the course equips participants with the knowledge to embed equity into everyday transportation practices and decisions.  \nThe half-day course is divided into several sections: \n\nBasics of Transportation Equity: The workshop will start with fundamentals of transportation equity\, basic principles\, history\, theoretical foundations such as framework and types of transportation equity\, philosophical framework\, systematic causes of inequality\, spatial justice theories and other fundamentals. It will include participant interactions and quick surveys.\nEquity in Public Space: This topic will delve into spatial injustice\, recognize recurring inequality conditions\, and address them through an equitable approach to public street design and placemaking concepts\, using unused space identification\, redesign\, and implementation strategies. \nEquity and Mobility Resilience: Understand the resilience of transportation systems in the face of climate change disparities\, energy depletion\, and environmental viewpoints\, including new approaches to mobility energy planning and policy development. \nEquity in Emerging Mobility Modes and Technologies: Examine the promises and challenges of new mobility technologies and apply solutions to prevent emerging inequalities in digital and shared mobility platforms. \nEquity in Mobility Access Planning and Policy: Explore new concepts\, solutions\, and practical tools for multimodal planning and design\, including the creation of multimodal mobility hubs to improve access to diverse transportation modes. \nTransportation Disadvantage and Poverty: Discover strategies and tools to combat transportation poverty and mobility disadvantages and explore how overlooked indicators and data can contribute to systemic inequality.\nDesign Parameter and Equity Connections: This session will uncover hidden gender disparities in automobile design and their links to road safety inequalities and learn processes to reduce and eliminate these disparities. In addition\, participants will gain insights from real-life safety incidents and collisions and understand how transportation equity plays a crucial role in fostering inclusion\, upholding human rights\, and providing liability and judicial perspectives.\nIn Class Exercises: Through interactive exercises and digital tools\, participants will examine how shared mobility solutions can complement existing transportation policies to close equity gaps. These activities will highlight strategies for integrating equity considerations into planning and decision-making\, with a focus on systemic inclusion and spatial justice.\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation engineers\, planners\, land use planners\, urban designers\, mobility technology service providers\, and other professionals involved in urban mobility system development\, who are focused on promoting equity within sustainable mobility solutions. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nEvaluate the processes used to implement equity policies and laws in contemporary transportation practice\nIdentify the equity concerns associated with various tools for evaluating travel patterns and behavior\nApply strategies and tools to increase the access to employment\, education\, affordable housing\, and transportation for underserved communities\nEvaluate various strategies designed to increase access to emerging modes for underserved populations\nIdentify the potential equity impacts of proposed transportation funding mechanisms\n\nTrainers\nInstructors: Julia de Lange\, PhD\, P.Eng.; Abdul Madani\, M.Eng\, EIT; and Mehemed Delibasic\, P.Eng. \nSupport: Abdul Razak Alozi\, PhD\, EIT; Maryam Hasanpour\, PhD\, EIT  \nJulia de Lange\, B.Eng.\, M.A.Sc.\, Ph.D.\, E.I.T.\nDr. Julia de Lange is an Associate with the Biomechanics and Personal Injury group at 30 Forensic Engineering.
