SUMMARY:ITE Vancouver Island: New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies - Todd Litman
DESCRIPTION:New transportation technologies and service – from e-scooters to autonomous cars and flying taxis – can expand our world\, providing significant benefits to users\, but these may be offset by the large costs they can impose on communities. As these New Mobilities become more widely available\, how can we maximize their benefits and minimize their risks? Todd Litman’s new book\, “New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies” (https://islandpress.org/books/new-mobilities) critically evaluates 12 developing transportation modes and services that are likely to affect our lives and communities\, and provides practical guidance for optimizing them. Come learn how communities can make informed decisions when planning for transportation innovations. \nPresenter: \nTodd Litman\, Victoria Transportation Policy Institute \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\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/gK2kSeSEtHg\n

SUMMARY:CITE Vancouver Island: Transportation Planning: Lessons from the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Todd Litman\nVictoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtpi.org) \nThe COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our lives and communities in countless ways\, including travel demands. This interactive presentation will explore key lessons for transportation practitioners: \n\nHow the pandemic is affecting travel activity and is likely to affect future demands.\nThe contagion risks associated with different travel modes and how to minimize those risks.\nHow planning can respond to quarantine and lockdown mobility and exercise needs.\nHow we can better respond to the transport needs of households that lose incomes.\nHow to develop a more resilient transportation system that can respond to changing demands and unexpected shocks.\n\nThese issues are challenging and unresolved. The first half of this luncheon will consist of a presentation based on my report\, “Pandemic Resilient Community Planning” (www.vtpi.org/PRCP.pdf). The second half will involve a group discussion of the key lessons we’ve learned from this experience\, how our profession and communities can better respond to changing and unpredictable travel demands. \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. \nRegister here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7169464937840371725
