Toward Integrated Transportation - Nova Scotia Context and Halifax SolutionsMarcus Garnet
Jurisdictional and cultural factors underlying North American transportation inertia; induced traffic; congestion equilibrium; changing priorities and mind shifts; how these are reflected in Halifax's new Integrated Mobility Plan; two possible scenarios for autonomous vehicle impacts on lifestyle and settlement patterns; some advice for sustainable transportation advocates.
This presentation highlights the importance of Roadspace Allocation within transport planning and illustrates how to develop a successful Roadspace Allocation Framework. Further to this the presentation gives an insight to understanding and meeting user requirements. It then progresses to utilise various case studies in Birmingham to further demonstrate how these frameworks can be put into practice.
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.

Micromobility Explorer - how to make it sustainableStéphane Schultz
We've spent several months browsing cities, meeting executives and studying usecases to understand what is hidden behind the micromobility frenzy. As urbanist and mobility experts, we have tried to figure out how to solve the main issues encountered by operators and cities. Hope you enjoy the ride ! It's only the beginning...
Urban transportation is undergoing massive change and expansion, especially in the developing world. The rapid growth of cities is driving demand for better urban transportation and many cities are set to invest heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the needs of low-income households are often overlooked in the selection, design, and service decisions related to these investments. According to the World Bank, urban public transportation systems disproportionately disadvantage the urban poor and vulnerable, especially in cities in the developing world.
Meanwhile, innovative business and service models are emerging that are disrupting the established transportation systems in cities by taking advantage of open data, the Internet and mobile telephony. Services such as bike share, ZipCar®, Waze®, Hopstop®, and Uber® are reducing consumption and reconfiguring the relationship between modes, users, and providers of transportation. These new approaches improve urban transportation by making it more efficient, dependable, and sustainable.
As Susan Zielinski of the University of Michigan’s SMART Initiative puts it, “Transportation is at a crossroads. In response to rapid urbanization, shifting demographics, and other pressing social, economic, and environmental factors, cities and regions are shifting investment dollars from single mode infrastructure to multi-mode, multi-service, IT-enabled door-to-door systems… innovations and opportunities (are going) beyond the bounds of the traditional transportation industry.”
Collectively referred to as the emerging New Mobility sector, this innovative industry sector provides a key opportunity to build more inclusive cities and more resilient communities.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities is an exploratory effort focused on identifying innovative business and service models that are beneficial to the urban poor, both as users and providers of urban transportation.The primer briefly summarizes and showcases some of the hallmark innovations that are challenging the status quo in rapidly growing cities in the developing world.

4. Walkability, bikes, shared use mobility & rideshare
Technology – on demand & mobile
New mobility hubs not reliant on fixed guideway transit
Flexibility in land use, transit stations, travel options
Opportunity: Tools to Increase Supply
@CityDesignCards
5. 1. From Fixed Guideway to Flexible Transit
2. From Fixed Uses in Zoning & Building Codes to
Flex Uses
3. From Fixed Conduits to Flexible, Green
Infrastructure
4. From Insistence on Fixed Guideways by Real
Estate Developers for TOD to Medium Density
Hubs
Disruption: Mindset Change From Fixed to Flexible
@CityDesignCards
6. • First – let’s look at lower cost,
flexible vehicles because that
can expand supply with lower
costs
• This manufacturer customizes
vehicles including types for all
climates
• Increasing the accessibility fleet
this is an important aspects of
equitable TOD.
Cruisecar Inc.
Method 1: Light, flexible vehicles
Current + ongoing innovation with solar & urban delivery
@CityDesignCards
7. • A second strategy is modular
amenities like bike share, bus
stops and flex parking spaces
• These can be deployed as
needed for events, rush hour
• Can even be used to test where
permanent stations would be
most effective or supply stations
during redevelopment
Fat Pencil Studios
Method 2: Modular Transit Stations
Current - Small Scale
@CityDesignCards
8. Split/Bridj
Method 3: On-Demand Ride & Vanshare Pick up/Drop Off
Underway in select cities with testing in growing number of medium-sized markets
@CityDesignCards
• A third strategy is to establish
pick and drop off points in
existing areas for rideshare
companies
• Noted yesterday, San Francisco
urging dispersal of pick up/drop
off points away from heavily
use transit stations
• Helps the companies – efficiency
• Helps awareness of the services
9. • If transit is more efficient for cities
than single occupancy vehicles, the
same holds true for driverless.
• These trams can serve areas away
from – or feeding into – fixed
guideway
• Progression: private campus >
short spur > long spur > loops
• “First-Last 2-3 miles!”
• Allows the placemaking dividend –
density, use mix
Method 4: Driverless Trams & Transit
Initial Testing – typically private closed campuses
CityMobile2
@CityDesignCards
10. • A fifth strategy installation of
shared use services in existing
areas.
• Make use of existing areas
• Challenge: currently very little
planning dedicated to
sidewalk/curb for shared use
• Competition for sidewalk space,
including existing uses: sidewalk
cafes, landscaping, utilitiesShared Use Mobility Summit: Tim Papendreou
Method 5: Shared Use Mobility Kiosks & Spaces
Underway in cities with shared vehicles & bikes
@CityDesignCards
11. • Retrofitting suburbs important for
equity
• Climate
• As cities become expensive,
suburbs home to low income
families – imperative to add choice
• Expansive parking lots =
opportunity areas for mobility hubs
• Can lead to infill development
• Integrate flex freight to reduce
GHG
Method 6: Sprawl Retrofit
Current – suburban areas where projects “pencil out” for infill & redevelopment
Dan Sturges
@CityDesignCards
12. Method 7: Mobility Hubs for Flexible (Non-fixed) Transportation
Expansion of current bus hubs and “Kiss and Ride” drop off areas
MetroLynx
@CityDesignCards
• In U.S. – called “Kiss and
Ride”
• Expand to serve numerous
public and private
transportation companies for
both heavy & flexible modes
• Coordinate inter-city bus
• Include room for
transportation innovation to
come.
13. Method 8: Bike Trail Oriented TOD
Growing – usually in cities with trails, protected bike lanes & on-street lanes
Zillow@CityDesignCards
• Reminder – bike and walk trips
are the lowest cost modes
• As more cities add protected
lanes, ties to trails and sharrows,
Bike Oriented TOD like this one in
Portland are economically feasible.
• Amenities – lockers, storage
• Co-locate car share
• Requires commitment to maintain
bike infrastructure
14. • Paying for infrastructure is the
most important question mark
• Chicago – Surcharge on
Transportation Network Companies
(e.g. Lyft, Uber)
• Sent to General Fund
• What if? Mobility Benefit
Districts? Existing models
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
• Parking Benefit Districts
• Benefits TNCs
• Deliberate design for on-demand and
shared use mobilityVicktor Hanacek
Strategy 9: Rideshare Surcharges -> Mobility Benefit Districts
Small number of Cities (Chicago) where fees fed into general fund
@CityDesignCards
15. Transit Screen & Ride Scout
Method 10: Tech + Apps into Transportation Demand Management
Experimental in cities with TDM programs
• Transportation Demand
Management plans are as
important as Transportation
Chapter and the Capital
Improvement Plan
• A City’s PR Firm for how to get
around
• Challenge: Puts cities in position of
promoting private companies
• However- allows cities to extend
awareness of apps (parking, car
share) to car-dependent areas.
16. • Pop Up shops are uses, typically less
than 1 year lease
• Can match demand with existing,
vacant supply
• Child care
• Civic Uses
• Equity Angle - “Affordable Retail”
• Challenge – Rigid lists of uses within
zoning codes.
Method 11: Architecture – Temporary Pop Ups: Retail, Civic
Underway - usually as Economic Development Strategies
@CityDesignCards
17. • If we can have “on demand
transportation” can we also have “on
demand” land use?
• Buildings intentionally designed with
flexible public/private first floor
space?
• P3’s for space?
• Transit hubs
• Markets
• Civic Uses & Meeting Space
Method 12: “On Demand” Architecture – Space that can flex for
housing, retail, transportation, civic space, etc…
On our wish list
@CityDesignCards
18. Walkability, Bikes, Shared Use Mobility & Rideshare
