This document summarizes a presentation on growing active transportation systems. It notes that fewer children now walk or bike to school due to unintended consequences of community design changes. Solutions discussed include investing in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, traffic calming, and safe routes to school programs. Case studies show how road diets, complete streets redesigns, and retrofitting neighborhoods can encourage mode shift toward active transportation. Public engagement, long-range planning, and partnerships across organizations are keys to successful implementation.
Keynote speech on "Shared Mobility: Reshaping America's Travel Patterns" at the National Conference of State Legislatures Summit in Seattle, Washington, on August 3, 2015
Complete Streets means creating streets that are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users. People of all ages and abilities are able to safely move along and across streets in a community, regardless of how they are traveling. Nationally 625 communities and 27 states have adopted complete streets policies including the following cities in Oklahoma: Tulsa, Edmond, Guthrie, Lawton, Sand Springs, and Collinsville.
These policies vary among jurisdictions from a global application to all street projects (public and private) to policies that focus on specific areas or applications. Transpiration staff is currently working with a citizen committee to develop a Complete Streets policy recommendation for Stillwater.

Guest presentation delivered by Gayle Wooton of Cardiff University, 25 November 2015.
Abstract: despite rising levels of urban mobility, access to places, activities and services has become increasingly difficult, particularly for the marginalised urban poor who face long distances or unaffordable travel costs in order to reach places of employment, education or leisure. In cities where access to private travel is uncommon, mass transport systems are essential elements allowing citizens to participate in everyday activities. Following successes in Curitiba and Bogota, mass transit systems such as bus rapid transit have been implemented in many Latin American cities (Medellin, Buenos Aires, Lima), while others are implementing metro systems (Quito, Panama City, Guadalajara, Santiago de Chile). Many such systems are unevenly distributed throughout the city however, with poorer neighbourhoods often poorly connected to the city centre where the majority of jobs and opportunities are located.
In tandem, many Latin American nations have been debating rights-based approaches to tackling social inequality. Ecuador and Brazil have adopted the Right to the City concept as part of their constitutions and Mexico City is developing a similar city charter. A human rights dimension is relevant to the provision of transport systems recognising that ‘the right to mobility is universal to all human beings, and essential for the effective practical realisation of most other basic human rights’ (CEMR 2007). Despite this link, rights-based approaches to social equity have not been studied in the context of mass transport systems. My research attempts to address to what extent rights-based approaches have been, or can be, integrated into decisions about mass transport investment, through the case study of Quito and plans for a new metro line and connecting metrocable routes. This presentation would present preliminary analysis following fieldwork in early 2015.

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.

Commission on Travel Demand Shared Mobility Inquiry: Evidence Session 3
Leeds, 18 June 2019
The Commission on Travel Demand (CTD) is an expert group initially established as part of the UK Research and Innovation funded ‘DEMAND’ Centre initiative to explore the how to reduce the energy and associated carbon emissions associated with transport. The Commission’s first report “All Change? The Future of Travel Demand and its implications for policy and planning” reviewed declining trends in per capita travel across the UK and the reasons for this.
The first topic will be shared mobility. This will be explored through a call for evidence and expert evidence sessions from April 2019 involving regular engagement from national, local and regional government, NGOs, business and academics from both the UK and overseas.
A presentation made by Nicholas de Wolff to Burbank City Council and fellow Sustainability Commissioners, outlining the benefits of Complete Streets, and new ways to consider the role of the streetscape in urban areas.
Walkability best practices are initiatives and activities that most effectively contribute to increasing the number and frequency of work, recreation, shopping, school, fitness, and other walking trips, increasing the walk share of all people trips made in a community, and improving the safety, comfort, convenience, and well-being experience of walking throughout a community.This workshop presentation presents a number of best practices, and suggests how citizens can organize their resources to promote achieving these practices in their communities.

Improving China's State of Place: Why the Path Toward a Sustainable China is ...State of Place
Walkability – or the ability to conveniently, safely, comfortably, and pleasurably walk to everyday needs and amenities – has been increasingly tied to improved health, broadly defined to include not just physical and mental health, but also social, community, environmental and even fiscal health. While the US and other Western countries have begun to make strides to increase walkability and promote
healthy placemaking, China continues to push forward car-centric urbanization and along with it rising rates of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and air pollution. Yet China has a huge opportunity - over 50 new cities, each with populations of over 1 million people, will be built in the next 20 years. This presentation outlines how walkability is tied to the broad concept of health and identifies the key physical, socio-cultural and policy barriers that must be addressed in order to move toward more sustainable development that promotes livability and walkability, thereby enhancing the State – and health – of Chinese cities.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Adverse weather 19%
Fear of crime danger 12%
Note: Sum of percentages is more than 100% because respondents
could identify more than one barrier.

9. Traffic Danger
If more children walked or
biked to school, it would
reduce the number of
cars near the school at
pick-up and drop-off
times making it safer for
walkers and bicyclists and
reducing traffic
congestion.

10. Walkable Urbanism
There's demographic evidence; there's consumer
research evidence; but probably the most compelling
evidence is the price premium people are willing to
pay to live in a walkable urban place, that the
survey's show anywhere from a 40% to 200% price
premium on a price per square foot basis for a
walkable urban place as oppose to a competitive near
by drivable suburban place.

•BE CREATIVE WITH
FUNDING OPTIONS
You want this:
And this:
16. Start with Plans
Long Range Transportation
Plan 2025 (LRTP 2025) adopted
in 2004 by Champaign-Urbana
Urbanized Area Transportation
Study (CUUATS)
big.small.all countywide
visioning process called for
more housing and mobility
choices, less sprawl
17. More Community Transportation Plans
Champaign Moving
Forward:
Transportation Master Plan
2008 – Update to
Champaign’s
Comprehensive Plan
Urbana Bicycle Plan –
Adopted plan becomes part
of Comprehensive Plan
18. LRTP 2025 Preferred Scenario calls for:
Express bus service between core and fringe areas of
the community
An enhanced arterial fringe road system that provides
improved mobility around the community
Transit intensive corridors
High capacity transit system in the University District
Mixed use, denser development and redevelopment
19. If implemented LRTP 2025 will:
Create higher population density, less sprawl
Promote alternative transportation modes
Save money on infrastructure
Create walkable activity centers and reduce reliance on
automobiles
Make travel safer for pedestrians and bicyclists
Increase mobility for motorists
Educate residents about alternative transportation
modes, safety, and new transportation concepts
20. HOW Do We Implement the LRTP?
Infill and having choices sounds
good, but how do we get there while
protecting new development and
growth?
miPLAN asked the community to tell us
what they want.
21. miPLAN
Mobility Implementation Plan
miPLAN's Purpose - What mobility options does the
community want, both now and in the future?
To implement the LRTP 2025. LRTP found:
Cities do not have the $ to build and/or maintain new
arterial roads serving fringe development. (Champaign has
$50 million deficit in funding for arterial construction.)
If we continue with our current growth design, e.g. travel by
auto, our community will face serious roadway congestion
problems in less than 20 years.
23. Summary of Public Input:
Strong consistency found for the following
top priority mobility improvements:
Improved bicycle infrastructure and routing
Better street lights
Additional sidewalks
Later evening MTD transit service
Additional direct MTD transit routes along
major arterials
24. Mobility Enhanced Development Report
Affordability Index Formula
Affordability Index =
Housing Costs + Transportation Costs*
Income
*Transportation Costs include the modeled cost of Auto
Ownership, Auto Use, and Transit Use
Identified opportunities for mobility enhanced
development , e.g. development with mobility
choices.
Analyzes costs of housing and transportation to
households.
24
25. MED Findings:
Transportation costs in core significantly less than
fringe. Average $/month spent on transportation:
Core=$832 or less Fringe=$1372 or less.
MED Recommendations:
Build on current density and urban form.
Maximize options and choices in alternative forms
of mobility.
Provide tools to create mixed-use, mixed-income
market-rate developments through infill and
redevelopment.
Maintain affordability through community
development programs and by factoring in both
household housing and transportation costs.
26. C-U Encouraging Mode Shift
Zipcar- car share
program launched 2009
with 6 cars now have 8
cars
Safe Routes to School
Bike route maps, bus
wrap, bike counts, etc.

Marketing to public on
options for mode choice
28. Complete
Streets
What are
complete
streets, and
complete
streets
policies?
Complete streets are designed and
operated to enable safe access for all
users. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists
and transit riders of all ages and abilities
must be able to safely move along and
across a complete street.
Creating complete streets means
transportation agencies must change their
orientation toward building primarily for
cars. Instituting a complete streets policy
ensures that transportation agencies
routinely design and operate the
entire right of way to enable safe
access for all users.

32. Bridgeport Way, University Place
Washington
Major road 23,000 VPD
High speed limits, no sidewalks, high number of
access points and uncontrolled access – high number
of crashes many with injuries
33. After Road
Diet:
Transformed into
Complete Street with
bike lanes, sidewalks,
and 8 roundabouts
Flared intersections
accommodate U-turns
for large vehicles at
signalized
intersections
Lighted landscaped
medians improved
access management
and pedestrian safety
– reduced crashes

34. Bike lanes installed to
reduce bike-
automobile conflicts
and crashes
Interconnected
signalized mid-block
crossings optimized
traffic progression
while minimizing
pedestrian-vehicular
conflicts and crashes
Road diet reduced
crashes by 60% and
speeds by 6%

35. SRTS programs – part of the solution
Improve walking and biking conditions
around schools
Reduce congestion around schools
Increases physical activity (10 minutes to
school and 10 minutes home=20 minutes of
daily physical activity)
Can lead to cost savings for schools
(reduce need for “hazard” busing)
Others: increase child’s sense of
freedom, help establish lifetime habits,
teach pedestrian and bicyclist skills
38. Potential Issues
Issues
No Sidewalks on way to school
Unsafe intersection/street to cross
Distances too great
Solutions
Park and walk – use a local park or church parking lot
Have school buses drop kids at designated location to
walk to school with volunteers
Walk around your school track/playground
Have your local police dept. assist with walk
Organize a Walking School Bus
