The document summarizes a study on congestion pricing in San Francisco. It finds that congestion pricing is technically feasible and could provide benefits like reduced traffic, improved transit speeds, and funding for transportation projects. However, public opinion is mixed, with about half supporting or open to a pilot project. The transportation authority board is considering approving the study findings and advancing further environmental review and outreach. A pilot program in 2-5 years is one potential next step if issues like pricing options, investment plans, and impacts are further analyzed.

Lessons Learned in Transit Efficiencies, Revenue Generation, and Cost Reductions
Presented by: Joel Volinski, Director, National Center for Transit Research, University of South Florida
Over the years, transit systems have responded to budget challenges by becoming more diligent
and creative in developing ways to generate non-traditional revenues and to reduce costs without raising fares or cutting service. Mr. Volinski will discuss a project, first reported on in 1996, whose objective was to collect innovative ideas from transit agencies throughout the country. The ideas collected were then synthesized and redistributed to transit agencies throughout the nation, allowing all agencies to have the potential to replicate successful techniques. Mr. Volinski will also provide a sampling of the 200 successful ideas that have been put in place in dozens of transit agencies across the country.
Smart Commute Initiative: Establishment of a Multijurisdictional Workplace-ba...Smart Commute
The Smart Commute Initiative was a workplace transportation demand management program serving the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton from 2004 to 2007. It aimed to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips, vehicle kilometers traveled, and greenhouse gas emissions through employer outreach and programs like ridesharing, transit incentives, and flexible work policies. Evaluation found the program helped eliminate over 14,500 tonnes of emissions and 1.27 million single-occupancy vehicle trips from 2004 to 2007. Lessons learned included the need for multi-jurisdictional cooperation, customized local implementation, and allowing sufficient time for behavior change monitoring.
TRB 2020 - Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Mobile Fare Payment Applications:...Sean Barbeau
Presentation of a TRB 2020 paper (available at http://bit.ly/trb-cyber-mobile-fare-app):
Mobile fare payment applications are becoming increasingly commonplace in the public transportation industry as both a customer convenience and an effort to reduce fare management costs and improve operations for agencies. However, there is relatively little literature on vulnerabilities and liabilities in mobile fare payment applications. Furthermore, few public agencies or supporting vendors have policies or established processes in place to receive vulnerability reports or patch vulnerabilities discovered in their technologies. Given the rapidly increasing number of data breaches in general industry IT systems, as well as the fact that mobile fare payment apps are a nexus between customer and agency financial information, the security of these mobile applications deserve further scrutiny. This paper presents a vulnerability discovered in a mobile fare payment application deployed at a transit agency in Florida that, due to the system architecture, may have affected customers in as many as 40 cities across the United States – an estimated 1,554,000 users. Lessons learned from the vulnerability disclosure process followed by the research team as well as recommendations for public agencies seeking to improve the security of these types of applications are also discussed.
The document summarizes a virtual workshop of the Miami-Dade TPO Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee held on April 7, 2021. The workshop covered four topics: 1) Rules of engagement for the virtual meeting, 2) The FY 2022-26 Transportation Improvement Program, 3) Rankings for the FY 2021 Transportation Alternatives program, and 4) An update on the Aventura Mobility Hub Study project. The Aventura Mobility Hub Study update included a review of stakeholder priorities, existing conditions in the study area, and proposed improvements to increase transportation options around the new Brightline Aventura station.
The document provides a 3-page summary report of a Somatic Transportation Assessment Record (STAR) conducted for the City of Onawa, Iowa. The STAR assessed the condition of all public sidewalks, paths, and trails within city limits to create a record for future reference and improvements. It found that over 1/3 of properties in the city lack any pedestrian infrastructure and 853 ramps are needed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The average condition ratings for most streets exceeded 3.0 on a scale of 0-3, indicating many sidewalks are in poor condition. The report identifies establishing a Somatic Transportation Utility as the best opportunity for funding improvements, as it would provide an annual revenue of $51,
This document presents the findings of a study conducted by the University of Central Florida for the Florida Department of Transportation to develop 1) a safety prioritization tool to assist in prioritizing sidewalk and bicycle lane gaps based on safety, socioeconomic, and fiscal factors, and 2) statewide average pedestrian crash rates. The study analyzed geographic data on sidewalk gaps, crash data from several counties, and developed pedestrian crash rates for different locations to identify areas with rates higher than the state average. The results can help prioritize gap closures and identify locations needing safety improvements.
This document is a report submitted to fulfill requirements for a Master's degree in City Planning at UC Berkeley. It examines transportation equity challenges in Oakland, California and provides recommendations to advance equity. Through interviews and a literature review, the report finds significant disparities in transportation outcomes for different population groups in Oakland. These include poorer pedestrian safety and transit quality in low-income communities and communities of color compared to wealthier areas. The report recommends the city embed equity principles into all aspects of transportation decision-making, from planning to funding allocation. It suggests the new Department of Transportation codify equity policies and procedures to systematically improve access and affordability for disadvantaged groups.
The document discusses the importance of federal transportation funding to New York State and outlines key issues and priorities for the reauthorization of the federal transportation bill. It notes that New York receives $3.3 billion annually in federal highway and transit funding, which supports around 400,000 jobs in the state. It expresses concerns that proposals in Congress may reduce funding levels by up to 30% and shift more costs to states. The document advocates maintaining at least current funding levels and New York's share of allocation formulas.
The Driving Factors Behind Successful Carpool Formation and UseSmart Commute
This document summarizes a study examining factors that influence successful carpool formation and use through an online carpooling service called Carpool Zone. The study aims to understand individual and spatial factors that affect carpooling by analyzing user data from Carpool Zone. Previous literature found that costs, scheduling, and access to potential matches are important influences on carpooling. The study will analyze user characteristics, vehicle access, attitudes, and match accessibility to understand carpooling behavior. Insights from the study could help improve carpooling programs and policies.

Maintaining and Improving Rural Transit Supply in an Era of Cost-Cutting
Presented by: Matthew W. Daus, Esq., Distinguished Lecturer, City College, University of New York, University
Transportation Research Center, Region II
James Cooper, PhD, Head of the Taxi Studies Group, Edinburgh Napier University
In this session, Mr. Daus and Dr. Cooper will address research completed on the supply of transit services, including paratransit use in mainstream transport provision in rural communities. Evidence will be presented from US and European locations, including the application of a shared
transit scheme using a wide range of optimized supply including Demand Responsive Transportation (DRT) and taxi operations. The presentation will also address how the research has demonstrated that bringing bookings and trips together allows authorities and suppliers to reduce costs, effectively maintaining a service with reduced costs, and/or enhancing services.
Workshop on Sustainable Mobility in Future Cities - Timothy PapandreouFuture Cities Project
This document outlines a transportation strategy for San Francisco that focuses on integrating different modes of transportation and policies to encourage sustainable mobility. It proposes a two-tiered strategy that prioritizes transit and complete streets while supporting demand management and shared mobility options. Some key initiatives proposed include integrating public transit with private shuttles, expanding bike and scooter sharing pilots, and developing a long-term transit vision to upgrade core lines and improve connectivity across the city and region. The strategy aims to make biking and walking safer and more comfortable through infrastructure upgrades identified through data analysis, and facilitate a more seamless customer experience across different transportation options.
This document summarizes a study on cellular phone users in the San Francisco Bay Area. A survey was conducted of 35,000 GTE Mobilnet customers to assess the impact of cellular communication on driver behavior and travel patterns. Key findings include:
1) The primary transportation effect of cellular phones is on trip scheduling and frequency, with over 60% of respondents reporting it affected their travel.
2) Only 15% of respondents obtained traffic information when expecting congestion, due to the lack of real-time traffic info in the Bay Area.
3) Cellular phones likely alter trip patterns as people adapt activities, but may not significantly affect total trip generation on their own. Route guidance could have a greater impact
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.

Workshop on Sustainable Mobility in Future Cities - Rui Carreira (FEUP)Future Cities Project
Rui Salgado Carreira conducted research on designing the travel experience within public transportation systems. His PhD thesis identified passenger experience factors and incorporated them into new public transportation product-service system development. He conducted qualitative and quantitative studies on river cruises and regional/mid-distance buses to identify experience factors like cleanliness, comfort, and social environment. These factors impact customer emotions and loyalty. He developed a travel experience scale and extended Kansei engineering methodology to better incorporate the customer experience into transportation system design. The goal is to improve public transportation by developing it as an integrated product-service system that enhances the customer experience.
Session 34: Rec Trails Federal (Douwes)-PWPBSharon Roerty
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides funding for various transportation projects including pedestrian and bicycle facilities, trails, and recreational trails through programs like the Surface Transportation Program, Transportation Enhancement Activities, and Recreational Trails Program. Eligible projects include rail-trails, canal trails, riverwalks, and wildlife corridors. Funding amounts to hundreds of millions annually and is distributed through state departments of transportation. Project sponsors must follow federal requirements and work with their state to develop and fund eligible projects.
In the opening plenary of the 2017 National Regional Transportation Conference, Valerie Lefler of Liberty Mobility Now shared stories of mobility challenges and opportunities to find solutions through innovation.
1) Dr. Caroline Mullen discusses the importance of transport and mobility for justice, as lack of access can limit people's ability to participate in social, economic, and other activities.
2) She describes different forms of "mobility poverty" such as lack of accessibility, availability, and affordability of transportation options. This barriers people's participation and impacts their lives.
3) While re-distribution and low-emission vehicles may help address pollution concerns, there are doubts about how much technology can help and whether it privileges private vehicles over other modes of transportation. A just system requires considering a variety of perspectives through democratic deliberation.

Parking Communication and Way Finding Proposal 2020Jodi Rudick
The document proposes a plan to improve coastal access in La Jolla through better parking education, wayfinding, and management. Key aspects of the plan include:
1) Creating print and digital materials like maps, apps, and signs to educate visitors about ample off-street parking options and direct them to parking facilities and coastal amenities.
2) Improving signs and wayfinding to make public transportation, parking facilities, and points of interest easier for visitors to navigate to.
3) Replacing an existing merchant parking discount program to encourage use of off-street parking by negotiating direct billing between merchants and parking vendors.

PPP for Kharghar Node (A Nodal Area in Navi Mumbai)
Navi Mumbai is one of the largest planned cities in the world with 344 Sq. km. a conglomerate of 14 nodes, these nodes are independent cities & Kharghar is one of them. The infrastructure problem faced by this node is
1. Efficient local Public transport & feeder transport
2. Illegal on street parking
To address this issue for the local development authority is difficult hence a combined, one of its kind PPP model for Public bicycle sharing and on street parking management is proposed.
Nj future redevelopment forum 2019 zullo parking strategiesNew Jersey Future
This document discusses strategies for parking in high density and transit-oriented developments. It addresses how to right-size parking through flexible parking requirements based on factors like availability of other modes, demographics, and rental vs owned units. Shared parking arrangements between complementary land uses and on-street parking can help reduce needs. Parking management strategies like pricing and unbundled parking sales can further decrease demand. New technologies may impact parking needs going forward.
The document discusses Cleveland's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system called the HealthLine. It provides details on BRT, including key elements like exclusive transit lanes and traffic signal prioritization. The HealthLine transformed Euclid Avenue, with $6.3 billion in new development, 13,000 new jobs, and over 4,000 new residential units along the corridor since its opening. Ten years later, diverse new developments continue including luxury townhomes, office buildings, a hotel, and major healthcare facilities, demonstrating the project's success in spurring economic growth.
The document discusses transport demand management (TDM) and its role in delivering sustainable urban transport. It defines TDM and explains that the goal is to balance people's travel needs with the capacity of transport facilities. The document outlines four key categories of TDM strategies: physical, operational, financial, and organizational. It provides examples of TDM strategies used in various cities and discusses the importance of integrating TDM approaches. The document also describes a benchmarking tool called METRIC that is used to evaluate and compare TDM programs across cities.
This document summarizes the sustainable mobility strategy of San Francisco and the Bay Area region. It discusses:
1) Key facts about San Francisco and the Bay Area region including population sizes and transportation modes used.
2) The city's goals to grow sustainably and manage future transportation demands through partnerships and integrated transit, walking, biking, and vehicle sharing networks.
3) The agency's strategic direction to improve customer experience, streamline operations, and support smart land use through policies and infrastructure investments.
Summary of input gained from the first rounds of committee meetings and public meetings (July-September 2012) for the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan.
Congestion charging schemes implemented in cities like London, Stockholm, Milan, and Singapore have led to reductions in traffic, improved air quality, and generated substantial revenue for transportation infrastructure. These schemes involve charging drivers a fee for entering designated areas, usually city centers, during peak traffic hours. Evaluation of existing schemes found they reduced traffic by 15-30% and journey times by 15-35% while raising billions in revenue. Public acceptance of the schemes has also been positive as drivers adjusted and public transit availability increased. Revenues have funded improvements to roads, bridges, and public transit systems, transforming urban transportation networks.

1. The San Francisco Transport Strategy document outlines plans to integrate transportation at all levels through a citizen-led process and focus on shifting trips to public transit, bicycling, and shared mobility to relieve congestion.
2. It notes that currently 25% of trips are by public transit, which is overwhelmed, and that there is potential to increase bicycling and shared mobility. It also discusses trends of declining car ownership and increased shared mobility.
3. The strategy proposes managing existing demand through mode shift strategies before any expansion, increasing bikeshare and electric bikes, expanding partnerships with shared mobility providers, and redesigning streets to focus on shared mobility tied to mixed use and prepare for driverless vehicles.
1) The document discusses global trends like urbanization that are contributing to increased urban congestion and presents potential solutions like road space rationing and congestion pricing.
2) It evaluates these approaches and finds that while road space rationing addresses congestion, it is not a long term solution, whereas congestion pricing in Singapore has significantly reduced travel times and increased road safety, but requires costly infrastructure investment.
3) The document concludes that as technologies advance, governments must engage citizens to ensure accountability and transparency, and that developing countries should initially focus on improving public transportation rather than advanced technologies.
NFTA Metro Route Restructuring
Presented by: James Morrell, Manager, Service Planning, NFTA
Hal Morse, Executive Director, Greater Buffalo-Niagara Region Transportation Council
The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) implemented a major route restructuring
initiative on October 31, 2010; a plan which required extensive organizational planning and community participation. The restructuring included adjusting service levels to make the entire system more efficient and increase passenger revenues. Buses now run more frequently over the heaviest used routes, and less frequently over lesser-used portions. This presentation will outline the steps needed to restructure service to be more efficient and cost effective.
Bike Share Program Investigation: Best Practices, GTHA Context Analysis and L...Smart Commute
This document outlines best practices for bike share programs based on a review of case studies and the GTHA context. It discusses the evolution of bike share programs and different operational models. Case studies from Paris, Washington DC, and Montreal provide details on program launch, size, funding models, and impacts. The document then analyzes the environmental context in the GTHA, stakeholder groups, integration strategies, and legal considerations. It recommends implementation strategies tailored for different community sizes, centered around transit. Next steps include further consultation and feasibility studies for potential bike share pilots in Newmarket and Toronto.
How can we make traffic flow better so fewer of us are sitting in traffic jams for shorter periods of time – if at all?
Researcher Lina Kattan looks at Intelligent Traffic Systems that optimize the operation, safety and costs of a city’s transportation network through sustainable traffic control and transportation management strategies. These systems are designed to manage traffic congestion, signal controls and prediction of bus and LRT arrivals.
Read on to learn about solutions that are working and how new developments will change the traffic jigsaw in the not-to-distant future.

3. Why study congestion pricing?
Bay Area is among top 5 most congested regions
in the nation (Texas Transportation Institute)
Average peak period trip to Downtown SF is twice
as long as off-peak trip
San Francisco sacrificed over $2 billion to
congestion in 2005 (over $3B/yr by 2030)
Transportation is responsible for over half of
greenhouse gas emissions in SF
