This document summarizes a presentation about three potential revolutions in global transportation by 2030/2050: electrification of vehicles, real-time shared mobility, and vehicle automation. It outlines three scenarios for how these revolutions may play out: Business As Usual with limited changes; a Technology-Dominant scenario where automation and electrification grow substantially but shared mobility does not; and an Avoid-Shift-Improve scenario where all three revolutions are adopted at large scale alongside supportive urban planning and pricing policies. The presentation analyzes the impacts of these scenarios on passenger travel, vehicle sales, and energy use in the United States. The next steps are to refine the results and develop full narratives and policy implications.
The document discusses implementing transit-oriented development (TOD) on a large scale and for all populations. It presents examples of TOD from cities around the world like Medellin, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Mumbai, Cali, Ahmedabad, and Cape Town. The presentation emphasizes strategies for shifting away from car dependency through principles like increasing density near transit, mixing land uses, compact development, and connecting places by transit, walking and cycling. It also notes the risk of displacement when implementing TOD and the need for standards, evaluation, and political will to guide successful projects.
This document summarizes a presentation on transit-oriented development (TOD). It discusses the definition and history of TOD, current market trends driving interest in TOD, and challenges and opportunities for public-private partnerships for TOD projects. Key points include: the definition of TOD as high-density, mixed-use development within half a mile of transit; how interest in TOD is driven by demographics like millennials and baby boomers; the high costs of TOD; and lessons around the need for residential density and retail following housing to support transit and make TOD successful.
Multimodal in rail development: popularity and reaping benefitsAtkins
Dr Ghassan Ziadat, Atkins’ director of planning and infrastructure, looks in depth at transport planning, multimodal transportation and transit oriented developments. Ghassan believes that clear government direction, through policy and legislation, remains essential to ensure the consistent and effective adoption of multimodal transportation and transit orientated developments (TODs) in the Middle East’s major cities.
This presentation was first delivered in March 2014 at Infrastructure Outlook 2014, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This document discusses improving transport demand management in cities. It notes that cities need efficient transportation of people and goods, reliable energy supply, low emissions and waste, and high quality of life. However, requirements are changing from isolated solutions to interconnected infrastructure systems. The document also quantifies the impacts of congestion in Mexico City, such as 5 million hours of lost productivity annually, and discusses using congestion charging effectively requires good public transport alternatives. It provides an example of a dynamic congestion charging system in Tel Aviv that guarantees speeds on the fast lane.
The document summarizes Charlotte's efforts to implement sustainable transportation networks through urban street design guidelines (USDG) and increased connectivity. It describes Charlotte's growth, centers and corridors strategy, the USDG approach and philosophy, challenges overcome through public outreach and addressing developers' concerns about costs, environment and adoption. Comparisons of fire station service areas show higher connectivity ratios increase service area sizes and distribute fixed costs, improving efficiency. The USDG continue being implemented through plans, projects and reviews, with monitoring of ongoing applications and public code reviews likely raising similar questions about costs and value.
This document discusses urban mobility challenges in Dakar, Senegal and the role of CETUD, the urban mobility authority, in addressing them. It summarizes that Dakar faces issues like road congestion and an aging public transport fleet. CETUD was created to manage urban mobility and has achieved professionalizing informal transport, partnering on projects, and overseeing the renewal of over 1,600 vehicles. Upcoming mass transit projects include a Bus Rapid Transit line and Regional Express Train to improve mobility and access across the metropolitan area. The document emphasizes that a strong institutional authority is needed to coordinate sustainable solutions to Dakar's transportation problems.

Portland has reduced per capita CO2 emissions through urban planning policies that focus development around mixed-use centers connected by public transit and bike/pedestrian infrastructure. This has led residents to drive less and use alternatives like biking and transit more. Portland's 2040 Growth Concept plan aims to continue these trends by concentrating new growth around existing centers to shorten travel distances and promote alternatives to driving. Analysis shows these policies will prevent nearly 100,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually by 2035 compared to business as usual sprawl development.
The document discusses energy consumption in the building and construction sector, with buildings accounting for 44% of energy consumption. It also shows graphs of vehicle miles traveled increasing dramatically in the US from 1960-2005 and discusses different models of urban transport and spatial structures like sprawling cities versus multi-polar centralized cities with public transportation as the focus. The document examines concepts like nodes, linkages and different types of urban movement patterns as cities evolve spatially over time.

It identifies 1,836 potential TOD sites across 263,010 acres based on 10 criteria including transit access, community features, and land use. Six high-scoring example sites are described in detail. The document recommends public policies to encourage TOD, such as coordinating agencies, modifying zoning, and creating development incentives near transit.
Transportation Planning for Car Free Living: The Evolution of Zurich, Switzer...TheLastMile
This is the story of the development of an alternative approach to transportation planning and how it has transformed the city. We start the story in the 1960s when the government plans for moving trams from the surface to underground was rejected in a referendum. In 1973, a similar plan was rejected. As part of this fight the activists developed a 'People's Plan for Prioritizing Transit' which still serves as the conceptual underpinning of transportation planning in Zurich to this day.
The document summarizes research on how Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in Cali, Colombia and Lima, Peru have impacted low-income populations' transportation access and mobility. Key findings include:
1) While the poor use the BRT systems, they do so at lower rates than other public transit due to issues with service quality, routes not reaching destinations, and in Lima, unaffordability when considering all trips needed.
2) BRT coverage is weaker in areas of extreme poverty, limiting access, and frequencies are lower there as well.
3) The systems provide important transportation for work and school trips by the poor, but issues remain around integration, quality, and affordability.

Transit-oriented development (TOD): Integrating rail and commercial developme...Atkins
Atkins' technical director Jason Hutchings explores the ways in which cities across the world can gain maximum benefit from their investment in transport, commercial and civic projects through transit oriented development (TOD). TOD facilitates and encourages the use of public transport and provides alternative revenue streams for transport providers and operators, reducing their reliance on state funding for capital investment and operation/maintenance costs. It means transit systems are more popular, accessible and better connected for the commuting population, and commercial property development can be integrated and benefit from such a holistic approach to critical city centre locations. But TOD is not without its challenges. Atkins illustrates the issues and solutions across a range of international projects.
This presentation was first delivered in May 2013 at the 3rd Annual Modern Railways Conference, Singapore.
The document discusses non-motorized transport (NMT) planning and implementation in Cape Town. It provides an overview of completed NMT projects, the statutory context, and Cape Town's city-wide NMT program. The program aims to develop a comprehensive pedestrian and cycling network. It involves data collection, network planning, and project identification across four regions. Key achievements include completing the city-wide NMT network and leading NMT initiatives in South Africa. The way forward includes continued NMT program implementation and updates to related plans and strategies.
This document provides an overview of a technology roadmap for transforming transport in NSW, Australia. It identifies 12 emerging technologies, such as automated vehicles and mobility-as-a-service platforms, that will change transport. Four potential scenarios for how human behavior could respond are described. The roadmap outlines five strategies, such as personalizing customer interactions and transforming mass transit networks, for applying these technologies. The benefits customers may experience by 2020 are also mentioned, such as more personalized, efficient, and reliable transport options.
TRANSPORT: INITIATIVES FOR INDIA - Prof. Ralph GakenheimerIPPAI
The document discusses initiatives for transportation in Indian cities, specifically Unified Metropolitan Transport Authorities (UMTAs). It makes three key points:
1) UMTAs aim to harmonize different transportation modes in cities that developed piecemeal over time, but they struggle due to different origins of agency powers.
2) Internal agreement within UMTAs on overall transportation policy, even if allowing some flexibility, would be an important achievement in unifying networks.
3) If successful, UMTAs could become major innovators and drivers of unified action at the metropolitan level.
Developing in a Smart Growth Climate: A Developer’s Perspective
The White Flint area of North Bethesda is a unique asset to Montgomery County, MD, a suburb immediately north of Washington D.C. White Flint holds major growth potential in the local economy as a commercial center located directly on a Metro subway station and containing the County’s conference center, and as a redevelopment site for mixed-use projects. With an urban service area already supported by existing infrastructure and a Metro line, White Flint is poised to be a regional draw for shopping and a haven for its fiercely loyal residents.
However, White Flint currently suffers from significant mobility problems. Missing sidewalks and crosswalks, lack of a street network, and limited travel routes restrict growth and hurt White Flintʼs quality of life. These problems detract from valuable existing transportation infrastructure investments such as the Metro Redline and extensive regional bus services. More importantly, these concerns and an inability by public officials to craft a workable solution jeopardized the potential redevelopment opportunity.
The development community is poised to redevelop along Rockville Pike, a major retail spine, but also a north-south state road. The success, and frankly the feasibility, of any redevelopment project would come to depend on the success of mobility and accessibility through the Rockville Pike corridor. Though, the problems facing White Flint are greater than any one agency or developer could solve alone, a redraft of the area’s Master Plan provided the platform to develop a broad solution. Once this effort started however, the requisite density for development incentives was (seemingly) at odds with transportation solutions. Stakeholders equated density to traffic, rather than embracing the ideals of smart growth.
Five independent development teams and landholders realized that through Stakeholder collaboration the whole would be greater than the parts. The development community hosted a public process between the local residents, Montgomery County Planning Commission staff, and the development community to identify macro-level transportation and planning solutions for the sector. A series of key design principles were developed and tested to increase the walkability and transportation movement of the sector.
This panel will discuss the source of traffic and transportation solutions, the collaboration process with state and local officials and citizens, and enacting the broad solutions though the Master Plan.

Rennes Métropole is working to promote soft mobility solutions to reduce reliance on personal vehicles. Key issues include reducing traffic congestion caused by single-occupancy vehicles, improving communication about existing transportation options, and increasing accessibility for all users. New mobility options being explored include electric scooters, electric bikes, and improved integration between transportation modes like public transit, carpooling services, and micro-mobility services. Data sharing and user experience are also important considerations for developing an effective and equitable soft mobility network.

At iomob we seek to transform urban mobility from its current fragmented state towards a decentralised internet of mobility marketplace. This white paper seeks to explore emerging trends and future directions towards more seamless access to public and private mobility services.
The document discusses sustainable transportation and provides examples of its implementation. It begins by describing the evolution of urban form from Walking Cities to Transit Cities and finally Automobile Cities. It then summarizes 10 myths about the inevitability of automobile dependence. Next, it outlines key principles of sustainable transportation as defined by various commissions and studies. Finally, it provides case studies of the Cross City Tunnel project in Sydney and the restoration of Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul.
Implications of moving towards public transport based citiesTristan Wiggill
1. Public transport in South Africa costs around R30 billion annually, with most funding going to commuter rail and bus services that support spatially inequitable development patterns.
2. While policies aim to use public transport funding to address inequities, there are concerns that priorities still entrench low-density, inefficient spatial forms. Future options include accepting decline, optimizing low densities, or investing in higher densities and values.
3. Investing to enable higher urban densities could maximize both equity and efficiency through "urban economic efficiency" gains. Valuing these benefits could justify shifting priorities towards rail infrastructure to support integrated, high productivity cities. Building consensus around such a future requires evaluating options and collectively deciding on priorities
In today’s world with the ever increasing traffic it is inherent that we immediately find an optimum solution for it so that we can move on from being a developing nation to a super power.
There is a great need to resolve our transportation issues at the earliest as connectivity is of grave importance. Finding a systematic and organized way around the current situation is only going to benefit us in the long run. Better connectivity reduces transportation costs immensely and saves time in traveling.
The document discusses sustainable urban transport and improving quality of life in cities. It notes that rapid motorization has negatively impacted cities economically, environmentally, and socially. The main problems are listed as energy consumption, emissions, safety issues, congestion, and social exclusion. Solutions proposed include improving transport efficiency, shifting modes to public transit and non-motorized options like walking and cycling, and reducing or avoiding travel. Examples given of successful cities emphasize high quality public transit integrated with land use planning and policies supporting alternatives to private vehicles.
2021 GGSD Forum - Session 1: Urban transport and city designOECD Environment
This document summarizes Karen Vancluysen's presentation on urban mobility challenges and policy goals. The main points are:
1) Urban mobility accounts for a large portion of CO2 and other pollutant emissions from transport. Goals include improving air quality, road safety, modal shifts to more sustainable options, and decarbonization.
2) During COVID lockdowns, there was a collapse in public transit use and boom in active travel, but a risk that congestion could return without changes.
3) Reallocating street space for walking, cycling, and public transport through low-cost measures is long overdue in many cities and can have significant health benefits if new habits formed during the pandemic stick
This document discusses enabling high performance transit-oriented development (TOD). It summarizes that TOD requires high quality public transportation, appropriate urban form and density around transit stations, integrated transport services and pricing, and street networks designed for walking and biking. Case studies from Portland, Charlotte, and Washington D.C. show how TOD can reduce traffic, emissions, and parking needs when supported by policies around land use, pricing, and coordination across agencies. The document provides an inventory of opportunities for TOD in D.C. and recommends actions like education, prioritizing investment, and station area planning to implement TOD.
Transport demand management (TDM) can play an important role in urban development by reducing traffic congestion, environmental impacts, and generating revenue for improved public transport. TDM emphasizes shifting people and goods to more sustainable modes of transport like public transit and non-motorized options. It aims to reduce traffic volumes through pricing mechanisms, infrastructure changes, and promoting alternative transportation options. Successful TDM requires an integrated approach combining various supply- and demand-side strategies tailored to each city's specific challenges and opportunities.
The document summarizes a presentation on transportation planning in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. It discusses:
1) The region's focus on providing transportation choices through investments in biking, walking, and public transit as well as transit-supportive development.
2) A mobility implementation plan that developed scenarios to increase non-driving trips and evaluated enhanced transit corridors.
3) Recommendations to create mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods called Mobility Enhanced Developments that reduce transportation costs and emissions.
Many cities are attempting to reduce congestion through innovative transport policies and projects. This report explores the challenges city leaders face in choosing the right combination of solutions to address their short- and long-term urban mobility challenges. It aims to provide direction on how city leaders can navigate through these challenges and how they can work together with community groups and the private sector to transform their cities for the future.
Urban transport systems face challenges like traffic, pollution, and accidents. Access to destinations, goods, services, and information is the objective of transportation systems, and efficient access drives economic and social advantages. Urban form and transport are directly connected, and both impact urban development. Solutions include improving integrated urban planning to increase sustainable accessibility while lowering carbon mobility. Prioritizing public transit, walking, and cycling can make cities more affordable and equitable.
For the Final of the European Student Parliament in Copenhagen in June 2014, I created a preparation kit. My working group of around 10 young students from all over Europe was asked to develop new ideas for future mobility in cities.
In my overview I touched several topics, such as understanding cities, relevance of mobility, current challenges and perspectives for the future.

Making cities more competitive the economic case for public transportTristan Wiggill
A presentation by Adv Alma Nel (Director: Legal and Policy Research: Gauteng Provincial Government) at the Transport Forum Month of Transport Celebrations 1 October 2015 hosted by University of Johannesburg. The theme for the event was: "Trends in Policy Development for Transport" and the topic for the presentation was: "Making cities more competitive The Economic Case for Public Transport."

1) The mobility sector is undergoing transformation due to new political goals around sustainability, digital innovations, and new business models. This requires greater citizen engagement in development and more agile structures and leadership in organizations.
2) Smart mobility solutions will require integrating various transportation services along complex customer journeys, and involving citizens early in product design through methods like design thinking.
3) Public administrators and transportation companies will need more agile structures and leadership to navigate complex, fast-changing mobility demands and integrate diverse new services. Moving to cross-functional teams that incorporate frequent citizen feedback can help meet these challenges.
The document discusses the growing problems associated with increasing traffic levels in European cities, including environmental issues, loss of urban living space, and negative impacts on quality of life. It notes that citizens are calling for more sustainable transport solutions to reduce car dominance in cities. The traditional approach of increasing road capacity to meet demand is no longer sufficient. Some cities have successfully reallocated road space from cars to other modes like public transit, cycling, and walking, finding that predicted traffic chaos did not occur and some traffic "evaporated" over time as behaviors changed. Case studies are presented to illustrate this concept of traffic evaporation.

The document summarizes key findings from a survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education systems. Some of the main points are:
- Schools were fully closed for an average of around 35 days in 2020, with some regions closing primary and secondary schools for over 30 and 40 days respectively. Longer closures were linked to lower student performance.
- Countries implemented various distance learning solutions like online platforms, television, and take-home packages to continue education during closures. However, many struggled to reach disadvantaged students.
- Reopening schools presented challenges around health risks, with countries adopting measures like distancing and prioritizing teacher vaccinations. Exams were also adjusted with some

The document discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the automotive sector in Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies. It notes that while the automotive industry plays an important role in CEE economies, the pandemic hit the sector hard with declines in car production and sales. However, the recovery was initially fast. Going forward, car demand is expected to remain low due to anticipated slow economic growth in major trading partners in Europe. This poses risks to automotive supply chains in CEE and to attracting further investment if profitability declines. Policy priorities to support the sector include improving skills, access to infrastructure, and helping domestic firms connect with multinational enterprises.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

2. Need to act in OECD cities and beyond
• Urban transport accounts for about half of global
CO2 emissions from ground-based transport
• Projections see total motorised travel in cities almost
double (+94%) between 2015 and 2050
COVID-19 challenges declining trajectories
• Financial stress of rail and public transport providers
• Shift in preferences favouring private car use
COVID-19 also creates a window of opportunity to
adopt policies for a compact and connected urban
growth => build back better

10. A zoom into cities:
Who benefits from better accessibility?
Cities with better average accessibility also tend to have bigger gaps
between neighbourhoods with good and bad accessibility
These differences are due to neighbourhoods with low accessibility having
“too low” accessibility, rather than places with good accessibility having “too
good” accessibility
Richer people benefit from neighbourhoods with better accessibility
They are more likely to live in cities with better accessibility
Within cities richer people live in the neighbourhoods with best accessibility
Cities with “inclusive” accessibility achieve it mostly because
They provide a large number of opportunities in the proximity of both rich and poor
neighbourhoods
Transport performance alone is not sufficient 10

Planning for sustainable accessibility requires a
holistic approach
Strengthen public transport in the commuting zone also by moving away from radial networks
Seamlessly integrated transport network across transport modes
(e.g., strengthen interchanges, unique ticketing service)
Density-oriented transport policy (e.g., milder building height restrictions)
Mixed land use planning to favour proximity between people and opportunities
Transit oriented communities: more walkable/bikeable space and frequent public transit stops favouring human
scale development and social cohesion
Inclusiveness needs more than transport policy (e.g., social housing quotas, subsidies for poorer households)
Active and micromobility offer low cost alternatives to public transport but require infrastructure investment (opportunity to
convert “pop up” infrastructures) and clear regulation
13. Planning requires a multi-level governance approach
