A Renaissance Planning presentation on mobility fees. Mobility fees are a transportation system charge on development that allows local governments to assess the proportionate cost of transportation improvements needed to serve the demand generated by new development projects. Whereas older methods of charging developers only allow for specific roadway improvement, mobility fees allow for funding transit and other multi-modal improvements.
Transport has a major impact on the quality of life in a city, its environment and the economy. Transport Authorities globally are facing similar strategic challenges around worsening congestion, insufficient transport infrastructure, affordability constraints, increasing emissions and growing customer needs...
NextGen’s Phase I steps were two fold. The first effort included extensive stakeholder and community outreach, with a particular focus on developing a vision for the role public transportation plays in central Ohio’s future. The second initial effort included a needs assessment, which involves considering projected growth patterns, evaluating existing transit services, and examining how communities in the study area are planning for additional transit investment. These two efforts were also used to develop an evaluation framework; this framework is designed to reflect the regional goals and values for transit service development and apply these values to create a methodology that can be used to evaluate and prioritize transit investment opportunities.
The purpose of this technical memo is to document and describe the evaluation framework for how the NextGen team will screen identified transit investment needs into a prioritized list, and eventually evaluate potential transit projects. This technical memo is intended as a working paper to communicate the NextGen team’s proposed approach to stakeholders.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
