SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver: November Workshop: Island Platform Bus Stops - Going Beyond the Design Guide Local Experiences\, Challenges\, and Where To From Here
DESCRIPTION:In April 2024\, TransLink and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure released the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure. The Design Guide is an award-winning document that was developed based on extensive technical work and engagement with people with lived experience. While the Design Guide provides detailed technical guidance on how to improve the experience of all users at island platform bus stops\, there remain challenges to be addressed in continuing to improve accessibility and remove barriers to people with disabilities at island platform bus stops. \nJoin us for this interactive moderated panel discussion with transportation and accessibility professionals to learn about their experience planning and designing island platform bus stops in Metro Vancouver and where we go from here.  Panel speakers include: \n\nMackenzie Fleming\, City of Vancouver\nAdrian Yau\, City of Vancouver\nMo Bot\, City of North Vancouver\nSabrina Lau Texier\, TransLink\nStan Leyenhorst\, Universal Access Design\nBrian Patterson\, Urban Systems\n\n  \nSpeaker bios:  \nMackenzie Fleming is a former marine biologist turned planning analyst with the City of Vancouver.

SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver: ITE & PIBC Mixer - How Can Transportation Engineers and Planners Move Equity From Rhetoric to Reality?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Tessa Williams (RPP\, MSc) to learn more about the new report “Practices and inspiration for sustainable transportation equity: Case studies from Canadian cities.” Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for networking and discussion with fellow engineers and planners. \nNearly 1 million Canadians live in transportation poverty\, where their ability to access opportunities is limited by inadequate\, unsafe\, or unaffordable transportation options. City builders are recognizing that the way transportation has been planned\, designed\, and delivered is unfair and needs to change. The big question facing the transportation community is no longer whether to take action towards equity\, but how. The Report\, created by a team of transportation practitioners\, equity experts\, and researchers from across Canada\, the report shares promising practices to apply equity throughout the project life cycle\, from policy and strategy to learning and evaluation. The report has been featured by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)\, Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP)\, and Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP). \nTessa is transportation planner with Urban Systems with over four years of experience across three different provinces. She leverages her unique background in local government and research to contribute to active transportation\, land use\, transit\, parking\, and equity projects. Tessa served as research lead for the PISTE project\, with the goal of developing a report by and for transportation practitioners. \nWednesday\, April 17\n5:30-5:45 people arrive and get settled (in the presentation room)\n5:45-6:30 Tessa presentation and question time\n6:30-8 networking in the FUNK venue \nVenue:\nFUNK.
