Alec will introduce an overview of LCRIG and its aim to deliver practical solutions to help councils achieve net zero. Stressing the importance of removing silos both in the public and private sector, Alec will show how the lighting sector can team up with others. He will reveal the creation of a net zero working group which ILP members can get involved with.
Presented by Alec Peachey, Content Director, Local Council Roads Innovation Group.

Today, lighting control systems are no longer simply a platform for management of public lighting assets. They are a gateway to enable sensors and data analytics and additional value to flow from these assets. As an example, sensor-enabled luminaires can monitor and report on traffic data as well as air quality information, to help better inform our traffic services, city planners, and engaged citizens. Further to this, new technologies and approaches to communications makes realizing and analysing sensor data easier and less complex than ever.
This webinar discusses these topics and more, to help inform about opportunities to enable smart sensors in your city.

Portland's Complete Streets Policy - GSMSummit 2014, Bruce HymanGrowSmart Maine
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) results in the creation of compact, walkable and liveable communities with access to amenities built around high quality mass transit stations. However, the discourse around TODs in India is more of a densification and value capture approach, which is necessary, but yet an incomplete conversation for the Indian context. This webinar, presented by Todd Litman, Himadri Das and Lubaina Rangwala addresses the major challenges and learnings from the ‘implementation’ of a TOD.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

27. Neighborhood Transit Street example
In-lane stops keep buses in priority
position. Near-side avoids intersection
queueing. Can alternate with far-side,
pull-out.
Loading zones relieve double
parking, provide business
access.
Bulbs create space for shelters,
reduce crossing distance.
Short signal cycles reduce wait
time when bus falls behind
progression.

28. Textured pavement or vertical
separation keep traffic out of transitway
Platforms can be consolidated or
separate to fit on narrow ROW

29. Transit Lanes
Offset Transit Lane
• Maintains curbside space for
other treatments
• Relatively simple & low-cost
• Lacks separation
32. Stops & Stations
Shelters
• Place with appropriate clear
paths
• Typically 4’ deep (2’ in
constrained conditions)
• May face or back up against
the road bed
• Enhances comfort and place
