Women often make more of a household’s trips, yet women make half the number of bicycle trips that men do. Women are often referred to as the ‘indicator species’ when it comes to determining how accessible bicycle is in a community. How to get more women biking, enjoying it and feeling safe and confident? Marketing and campaigns directed specifically at women can help.
Effective programs and marketing engage people and lead people to make different transportation choices. They can provide a huge ‘bang for the buck,’ if done well and can lead to lasting change. But it’s not easy to shift public perception or change habits. What is the secret? What can programs, marketing and campaigns for active transportation learn from recent research and commercial marketing to be more effective? How do you avoid preaching to the choir and reach diverse audiences in meaningful ways? Do programs and marketing that target specific audiences, such as women and women of color have better results?
Walk away from this session knowing the top 5 things needed for effective programs and marketing and a solid return on investment argument for funding programs and marketing, and a toolkit.

Giving, philanthropy and creating a democratic society. Findings from studies...Giving Centre
This document summarizes three studies on philanthropy and donor behavior. The first study found that while donors believe giving decisions should be needs-based, in reality gifts are influenced more by personal tastes, backgrounds, perceptions of charities' competence, and desires to make an impact. The second study found that homeless individuals prefer fundraising images that educate donors about homelessness over "pity pictures". The third study showed that while corporations control philanthropy, employees select causes based on personal experiences and preferences and see fundraising as an opportunity for fun. In conclusion, philanthropy is supply-driven by donor preferences rather than needs, and cannot be relied on to replace public spending or create a more democratic society.

Based on this success, LinkedIn will partner with Lean In in 2013 to launch new Mentor Rings, modeled after Lean In Circles, on May 15th.
This document discusses research on informal learning in self-organized social care networks in the UK. It provides examples of four types of networks that have emerged: 1) Friendship meetups that facilitate socializing and mutual support, 2) A "Good Neighbors" network that provides local support and activities, 3) A bookshop project that offers meaningful occupation and skills development, and 4) A disabled people's alliance that offers peer support and advocacy training. The research found that these networks foster informal, lifelong learning through peer-to-peer support and collective engagement to meet social care needs in the absence of formal state support.

ATS-16: Making Data Count, Anthony BuczekBTAOregon
- The document analyzes serious crash patterns and factors in the region and recommends strategies to address them. A safety workgroup provided guidance and peer review of the regional transportation safety plan and state of safety report.
- It shows that Oregon's mobility policies aimed at reducing congestion and widening roadways have unintended safety consequences by inducing more vehicle travel and making roads less safe for all users. This ultimately increases the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes in the region.
ATS-16: Making Data Count, Krista NordbackBTAOregon
The document introduces the Bike-Ped Portal, a national online archive of non-motorized traffic count data. It provides an overview of the portal, including its purpose to aggregate and share bicycle and pedestrian count data. Users can upload their count data to the portal and download data. The portal currently includes over 5 million records from 5 states. The presentation demonstrates how to search for and visualize count data on the portal site.
ATS-16: Making Data Count, Miguel FigliozziBTAOregon
This document summarizes a presentation about cyclists' comfort levels based on data collected through a smartphone app. It discusses how trip purpose, route characteristics like facility type and traffic levels, and stressors can affect comfort. The presentation shows that avoiding routes with commercial vehicles, less traffic, shorter routes, and more separated bike paths can increase comfort. It also found commuter trip comfort is different than exercise or shopping trip comfort. The document proposes measuring cyclists' real-world stress through sensors to better understand how facilities, intersections and traffic impact stress levels.

It also discusses transportation safety plans adopted by Clackamas County and Lane County/Central Lane MPO to reduce crashes through data-driven strategies. Finally, it provides an overview of key characteristics of Vision Zero cities from the Vision Zero Network.
ATS-16: The Myth of a Freight-Dependent EconomyBTAOregon
The document discusses the importance of active transportation like walking and biking to Oregon's economy and public health. It notes that walking and biking generate over $300 million in annual economic activity from tourism and the bicycle industry, which supports over 2,300 jobs in Portland alone. Investing in safe routes to school and more walkable communities could increase walking and biking by 43% while saving costs from fewer vehicle crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists, which total $80 million annually. Overall active transportation provides significant economic benefits compared to the high costs of owning and operating a private vehicle.
ATS-16: The Myth of a Freight-Dependent Economy, Joe CortrightBTAOregon
- The document discusses the myth that economies are freight-dependent and argues that most freight is actually local, heavy, and low-value, while growing industries ship minimal freight. It also notes that as Oregon's economy has shifted to higher value industries, overall freight tonnage has declined sharply.
- A case study of the Port of Portland shows that its container traffic and overall cargo volumes have been declining for years, even as the regional and state economies have grown. Losing container shipping lines in 2015 did not negatively impact the state's economy.
- High-tech industries in Oregon primarily ship high-value, time-sensitive goods via air freight to airports rather than by ocean container through ports. Short feeder
ATS-16: Connecting the Dots: Trails and Transportation, Reed DunbarBTAOregon
