The NYS Metropolitan Planning Organization Association has conducted a state-wide project on Transit Supportive Development. This overall effort, including the results of an extensive literature review and three other case studies will provide basic information on the “state-of-the-practice” and “lessons learned” of TSD in NYS. CDTA will highlight the results of its case which focused on bus transit, BRT and the incorporation of a transit center into the proposed Convention Center in Downtown Albany and to examine State Street in the downtown area as a BRT corridor. Key findings and lessons will be shared. The session will wrap up with a presentation of a recently completed North-South Corridor Study which provided multimodal transit recommendations supportive of regional “concentrated growth” scenarios developed by the MPO.

The document discusses operational forest fire simulation tools for supporting decision making. It outlines several models for fire propagation, including empirical Rothermel-based models and computational fluid dynamics physical models. It then describes the InfoSIM system, which integrates these propagation models, high-resolution wind data, and fuel maps into a GIS-based platform to enable real-time 3D wildfire simulation and analysis to support wildfire management. The system has been operationally implemented and validated in several regions in Spain.

Bus Customer Information Systems: MTA ’s BusTime Pilot Program
Presented by Sunil Nair, Senior Director, Bus Customer Information Systems, MTA
MTA BusTime represents a big step forward in how the MTA delivers technology to its customers.
Join MTA’s Sunil Nair for a discussion on the MTA’s new pilot project, currently in operation on the B63 route in Brooklyn. The program uses Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware and wireless
communications technology to track the real-time location of buses. Sunil will explain how the MTA developed the system, which allows riders to find the real-time location of buses that will arriveat their stop, and is accessible via a desktop web map, a mobile web site on iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, or other smartphones, and via SMS on all mobile phones.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
