The economic and environmental dimensions of transport have been the subject of extensive academic research and have had a strong influence on transport policy and practice around the world. This is in stark contrast to the social dimension, which in general has been less widely researched, less well defined and generally much less influential in policy circles. However, there is now increased recognition by policymakers that new transport infrastructures can potentially have significant social and distributional impacts (SDIs) beyond those that are usually captured by traditional project appraisal methods. Currently, the methods for capturing these SDIs are under explored and the guidance provided through WebTAG analysis is as yet largely untested.
It is in this context that we were asked by Welsh Government to conduct a social and distributional analysis of a new section of the A465, studying the area surrounding the road both during its construction and after. Our talk will outline the integration of desk based quantitative and field work based qualitative methodologies used for the study and the rationale for these, and also present our key findings. We will also outline some of the challenges we faced in undertaking the analysis, and in turn reflect on some of the barriers to embedding effective SDI appraisals into policy practice. We will also reflect on the appropriateness of the WebTAG guidance for practice, and suggest ways in which these could be improved.
“I want to do a water project but I don’t know where to start!” This is a common challenge. Doing a community needs assessment is a crucial piece to planning successful projects but can often seem like a daunting task. Join us for a great conversation and fun exercise in doing a community assessment in water and sanitation, and go back to your district with a better understanding of community assessment and planning tools.

2017 SeeClickFix Workshop - Closing the Loop - Improving Transit through Crow...Sean Barbeau
This presentation describes a pilot project that improved the OneBusAway mobile transit apps to be able to submit user feedback to agencies using the standardized Open311 specification. As of this presentation (late February 2017), these changes are being piloted in the Tampa Bay area along with the SeeClickFix issue management platform by Hillsborough Area Regional Transit and Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.
Community Engagement for Complete CommunitiesRPO America
In our everyday lives, we interact with people who look, act, and think like us. In the course of our jobs as planners, we interact with the public—that entire collection of human variability that exists in communities. To engage effectively, we are required to get outside our comfort zone and reach out to the entire collection of residents that make a complete community. This workshop held at the National Regional Transportation Conference (June 2019, Columbus, OH) presented in an interactive format how a planner can develop a community engagement strategy based upon the five I’s of public involvement—Identify, Invite, Inform, Involve, and Improve. Workshop participants were briefed on the concepts of environmental justice, recent public involvement tools and strategies, and then interact in groups to develop a public participation plan for a community scenario.

RV 2015: Active Transportation for Equitable Transformation by Gwendolyn FedrickRail~Volution
Can bikeability and walkability transform socially and aesthetically deteriorating neighborhoods? How can bringing active transportation into the planning process bring more equity to a community? For more than two decades social activists and elected officials, alike, have teamed up to improve the quality of life for residents. Hear specific objectives and strategies from Houston, Minneapolis and Orlando. How did they improve access to jobs by creating pathways linking public transit? Or encourage active body motion -- and better health -- by providing alternatives to cars? Learn strategies to form alliances between nonprofit organizations, private enterprise, local governments and local residents. Dare to imagine creative ways to transform your own community.

The City of Springfield is implementing a Complete Streets Policy to ensure that the roadways are designed and maintained with all users in mind. Building on a needs assessment and “PhotoVoice” community input process, HLA and community partners, including students from the local university, assessed factors in the physical and social environment that hinder or facilitate physical activity in specific neighborhoods. Findings help to guide the prioritization process and allocation of funds to ensure walking and biking in Springfield is safe and easy.
JSI provided capacity building assistance to the Healthy Living Alliance,a consortium of organization working to to implement strategies to increase healthy eating and active living, to advance progress toward 'complete street' goals.

2. About the Issue
• Downtown, Hospital District, Near Southside, Magnolia Avenue, W. 7th
Street, and Cultural District collectively experience exceptionally high traffic
volumes from residents, employees and patrons of area businesses, as well
as tourists and attraction visitors
• Most of the congestion is due to short vehicular trips within the area, and is
patterned in predictable frequency, as well as times of the day and week
• Area lends itself to routine,
circulatory routed public transportation
3. Central City Circulator Survey
Methodolgy:
• Participants responded using a “Likert Scale” rating, independent multiple
choice field responses, and independent, open-ended statements
• Independent statements encouraged participants to further elaborate on
certain issues, as well as introduce new topics, or suggest possible
solutions or variations
• Survey launched on March 17, 2014 and closed
on April 8, 2014
• A total of 1,079 individual responses were received
4. Respondent Comments

areas could catch non-stop shuttles/buses to city center areas.
• Respondents proposed that a circulator system would greatly benefit tourism and
possibly increase tourism here
