DESCRIPTION:Human error contributes to most road collisions\, making human factors a critical element in transportation safety. Modern frameworks like Safe System and Vision Zero focus on designing roads that anticipate driver behaviour and minimize collision severity. While traditional traffic engineering emphasizes geometric design and compliance\, it often overlooks driver perception\, cognitive workload\, and decision-making. This presentation will demonstrate how integrating Traffic Engineering and Human Factors expertise creates solutions that anticipate human behavior and reduce collision risk. Through case studies and applied research\, we will explore how behavioral insights combined with engineering expertise can enhance safety outcomes by identifying latent risks\, optimizing intersection design\, and implementing cost-effective countermeasures. \nDate: Thursday\, April 30\, 2026 \nTime: 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET \nLocation: Online\, link to be shared with registered attendees \nCost: Free \nTickets: Available until 12:00PM on April 30\, 2026 \nPDH Credits: 1 PDH \nSPEAKERS \nMehemed Delibasic\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. – Vice President\, Transportation & Safety \nMehemed Delibasic\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. is Vice President of the Transportation & Safety Group at 30 Forensic Engineering and a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple provinces across Canada.

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.

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto Section: Webinar "From Speed to Access: Redefining Urban Planning Strategies"
DESCRIPTION:Many jurisdictions are establishing vehicle travel reduction targets and how transportation agencies can help achieve those goals. Vehicle travel reduction targets represent a shift from mobility-based planning\, which assumes that the goal is to maximize traffic speeds\, to accessibility-based planning which strives to minimize the amount of travel required to access services and activities. Vehicle travel reduction targets reduce investments in roadway expansions and parking subsidies\, and increase support for multimodal planning\, improved connectivity\, TDM programs and Smart Growth development policies. These shifts respond to changing user demands and provide many economic\, social and environmental benefits. This webinar should be of interest to anybody who wants to help create a more efficient and equitable transportation system. \nSpeaker \n \nTodd Litman is founder and executive director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute\, an independent research organization dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transport problems. His work helps expand the range of impacts and options considered in transportation decision-making\, improve evaluation methods\, and make specialized technical concepts accessible to a larger audience. His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analysis. \n \n \n*** \nAs part of its greenhouse gas reduction strategy\, the State of California stopped evaluating projects using vehicular level-of-service and replaced it with assessments of changes in vehicle miles of travel (VMT). The change ran into a host of technical issues that are still being worked through. The problems are particularly acute for projects in small towns and rural areas\, where agencies do not have traffic models designed for this type of analysis. \nGHD has developed a GIS-based methodology for assessing the VMT impacts of proposed land development projects in smaller towns and rural areas. The methodology was designed to be easy to use by agency staff using data and software they already have. It assesses VMT impacts based on residential and employment density\, the proximity of complementary land uses\, and access to a safe bicycling network. Although not perfect\, it does provide a practical tool for agencies with limited resources. \nSpeaker \n \nDon Hubbard is a senior transportation planner and traffic engineer with extensive experience in travel demand forecasting and transportation policy. Don is a rare combination of a “big-picture” regional planner and a detail-oriented traffic engineer. He specializes in highly defensible transportation analyses for projects with a strong likelihood of litigation. Don also develops new techniques for improved modeling. For example\, the “4Ds” post-processor he developed to account for smart growth characteristics is now used in models across the U.S.. Similarly\, his “dynamic validation” technique to assess model performance has now been adopted as standard practice for many agencies. \n \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Y2JlOTVjZDctODhmOS00NjNiLWE3NWQtYzRiN2UwNTJkNjMw%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22875688ea-8b21-4b98-b25b-4b81851ad72d%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%224a3ba1e2-3eaf-46fd-a2aa-5dc1b59160ca%22%7d\n

SUMMARY:ITE Toronto: Electric-Cargo Pilot Study in Toronto
DESCRIPTION:The winner of the 2023 ITE Toronto Project of the Year Award is the University of Toronto’s “Electric-Cargo Pilot Study in Toronto”. Join us on Wednesday\, February 21st from 4:00PM – 5:00PM to learn more about this project. \nPurolator Inc.\, in partnership with University of Toronto\, has established a successful electric-cargo (e- cargo) tricycle demonstration project. On August 22\, 2022\, Purolator replaced delivery trucks on the University of Toronto St. George campus\, and in neighbouring communities\, with e-cargo tricycles operating from a microhub located at 60 St. George Street.

SUMMARY:Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual (2022 Project of the Year)
DESCRIPTION:The winner of the 2022 ITE Toronto Project of the Year Award is the ‘Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual’ by the City of Hamilton and WSP. Join us on Wednesday\, February 22 from 3:30-5:00pm at WSP’s Thornhill Office to learn about this project from Trevor Jenkins (City of Hamilton) and James Schofield (WSP). \nThe Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual\, unanimously endorsed by City Council in July 2022\, provides a set of consistent guidelines and tools to inform the design\, implementation\, maintenance\, and monitoring of Complete-Livable-Better (CLB) Streets across the city. The Complete Streets Design Manual provides an expanded toolbox of ways to improve Hamilton’s streets. \nThe Complete Streets Design Manual is more than just another set of guidelines – it is a transformative exercise that overhauls the entirety of Hamilton’s street design standards\, from the reconstruction of the narrow pre-war downtown streets to new arterial streets in employment areas to rural roads throughout the Greenbelt. Through this presentation\, we invite you to discover how the project is creating multi-modal\, greener\, and safer streets that will connect a geographically and socio-economically diverse community and\, in doing so\, serves to create a more equitable transportation system. \nComplete Streets are defined as roadways that are planned and designed to balance the needs of all road users. The goal of Complete Streets is to allow people to get around safely no matter their age\, ability\, or how they choose to move. The Complete Streets concept is closely tied to the Safe Systems and Vision Zero approaches to road safety\, which aim to design the transportation system to anticipate human error and accommodate human injury tolerance with the ultimate goal of eliminating death or serious injury on roadways. \nThis manual is a resource for everyone involved in the planning\, design\, or maintenance of Hamilton’s roadways\, including local residents who support safer streets. Guidance for street design\, intersection design\, implementation\, and general design components is covered in this manual to ensure users and practitioners are well equipped to understand and apply the principles of Complete Streets. \nSpeakers\n \nTrevor Jenkins\, P.Eng.\, PTP is a Project Manager at the City of Hamilton. He manages initiatives that advance the City’s sustainable mobility ambitions\, including long-range active and rapid transit planning\, micromobility\, and active school travel programs. You can find him exploring Hamilton in his downtime\, usually on a bike share bike.\n \n \n \n \n \nJames Schofield\, P.Eng.\, RSP₁ is a Project Manager at WSP specializing in complete streets and active transportation planning and design. He led the development of the City of Hamilton’s Complete Streets Design Manual and is also leading Complete Streets Design Manual projects for Niagara Region and the City of Guelph. A Professional Engineer and a Candidate Member of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute\, James is based in Kingston where he can be found riding a cargo bike around with his two young kids.
