Reserve your spot today and be part of an evening that celebrates our transportation community and looks ahead to an exciting 2026! \nMeet our speaker!\nStephen Oliver\, RPP\, MCIP\, GHD Consulting Limited \n \nStephen is the Transportation Planning Lead at GHD Consulting Ltd. in Waterloo\, with international experience in multi-modal transportation planning. He focuses on integrating transportation\, land use\, and urban design to create balanced systems centered around people. Stephen is an experienced Project Manager\, Registered Professional Planner\, and IAP2-trained facilitator. He just completed Leadership ITE\, sits on the Consultants Council and on the Sandbox Competition Organizing/Judging team. \nKeynote Presentation: Understanding and Designing Effective Mobility Hubs\nMobility hubs are often mistaken for transit stations\, but they serve a broader purpose—connecting people to a variety of sustainable transportation options. Unlike traditional transit stations that primarily facilitate foot traffic into shared vehicles\, mobility hubs are designed to support seamless transfers across multiple modes\, such as bike share\, car rentals\, and repair services. This versatility makes them more inclusive and responsive to diverse mobility needs. \nEffective mobility hubs are built on three key principles: multimodal access\, ease of connectivity\, and appropriate scale. They offer transportation choices for every stage of a journey—starting\, continuing\, and ending—while ensuring users can move easily between modes. Design features like clear access paths and right-sized infrastructure help make these hubs reliable and sustainable. With growing public interest in accessible and affordable transport\, mobility hubs present a practical solution for improving community mobility and reducing reliance on personal vehicles.

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.

The proliferation of personal electric mobility and the shift in designing to accommodate cyclists of all ages and abilities has had a profound impact on our City’s mobility system. London had an excellent foundation to build upon\, the City’s beloved pathway system (the Thames Valley Parkway)\, and has continued to expand its protected cycling network starting in the core. \nThis tour will take participants on a journey to experience many of our cycling-focused projects over the past 5 years. We’ll ride on multi-use pathways\, protected bike lanes\, cycle tracks\, bike boulevards and a flex street. We’ll get to see a variety of intersection treatments to improve vulnerable user’s safety\, including dedicated cycling phases\, leading pedestrian intervals\, and signals exclusively for people walking and cycling. Our best example of complete streets will be on display including many streetscape\, transit and cycling amenities and improvements. \nTour Lead: \nDaniel Hall is a transportation engineer focused on implementing cycling and walking infrastructure improvements in the City of London. With a background in transit planning and cycling advocacy\, and as a committed cyclist\, he brings many perspectives to his design and planning efforts. He’s currently working on obtaining his professional planning designation to be able to use the term ‘plangineer’. \nA long-time resident of London\, Daniel and his wife Jess have two young children aged 6 and 8. As a goal\, Daniel aspires to create a transportation network for London that allows for comfortable and convenient travel by all abilities and by all modes of travel and helps to develop a city where he doesn’t have to drive his kids to their friend’s houses. \n
