This document summarizes transportation planning for the Hillcrest neighborhood. It discusses the importance of long-range transportation planning, recent state legislation, and the current transportation context and plans for Hillcrest. The neighborhood currently has high roadway and transit access but limited bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Plans aim to diversify the transportation network and right-of-way to better accommodate all modes through measures like rapid bus transit, expanded bicycling facilities, and multimodal streets. Caution is urged around overreliance on level of service results and the constraints of the planning process.

RV 2015: Learn, Ask and Do: The Corridor Game Take 2 by James HenckeRail~Volution
Learn about corridor planning across the country. Ask questions. Then build your own corridor! Hear how planners struggle to accommodate multiple transportation modes (bus, BRT, light rail, auto, freight, bike, pedestrian) within a limited right of way. Review case studies from San Francisco, San Antonio and Portland. Study the tradeoffs inherent in different cross-section treatments and strategies for prioritizing design to respond to planning goals and land use context. Then put everything you've learned to work as you design your own multimodal corridors to solve for different planning problems. Easier said than done, but an active and humbling learning experience.

This presentation gives an introduction to transportation planning. It talks about what is transportation and its need. It also talks about how transportation has evolved over the period of time and how the city structure and people's behavior changes with it.
This presentation talks about the basics of transportation planning. The transportation jargons that are used like ROW, Carriage way etc. It also talks about the Road hierarchy, Intersections, Road Capacity and Level of Service.
Transport planning for Sydney is based on continuing the past and yet simple examination shows this calls for a impossible future. Fundamental change is called for and planning for it must start now.
On May 20, 2010, Mary Raulerson of Kittelson & Associates held a workshop in Portland, OR which introduced and illustrated best practices in the field of Complete Streets using case studies she has been directly involved with around the country. During the workshop, special attention was given to the obstacles that had to be overcome and the solutions that worked. The goal of this session was to help identify and tailor practices that will further strengthen the region’s move toward creating, connecting and complimenting great places with great multimodal rights-of-way.

This presentation was prepared for an event organized by the Pla Estratègic Metropolità de Barcelona on February 10th 2017.
We focus on the challenge of creating attractive ‘places’ when we (as professionals) are so pre-occupied with getting ‘through space’. Presentation was given by Colin Black and John Dales in 2006 at the European Transport Conference. Virtually all of what we were saying then still holds true for planning, urban design and transport today. The application of learning sure takes time!
During the 2017 National Regional Transportation Conference, Dan Blankenship shared information about the Roaring Forks Transportation Authority's work to serve the mobility needs of the region, including through bus rapid transit and other innovations.

In 2017-8, Michael Burrill forwarded his ideas on how cities can encourage Smart Growth and fund regional rail transit lines - without raising taxes - to public officials and interested citizens in several cities. Attached are his latest slides that use tax revenues from Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD) in Cincinnati as an example. Most other regions can anticipate similar results - with revenues from TOD at least five to 20 times the cost of new light rail lines.
TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY/PROVINCIAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PLANS AND S...South Fraser Blog
Presentation by Paul Cordeiro, Manager of Transportation Engineering for the Township of Langley. The slides show an overview of the South of Fraser Transit Plan, Provincial Transit Plan, Provincial Gateway Program, Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Study, Community Rail Study, and the Township of Langley’s Master Transportation Plan.
On March 2015, the City of Summit initiated a Feasibility Study on the vision of converting the abandoned Rahway Valley Railroad into a rail trail more commonly referred to as the Summit Parkline. The Study develops feasible and economical concepts for a 1.2-mile trail and linear park on the existing railroad right-of-way. The Summit Parkline is a unique opportunity for the City to create a recreational amenity that has potential to be a major local and regional attraction and character-giving symbol for the community.
Transport Policies for Van Couver, CanadaSaumya Gupta
The presentation covers the Transport Policies of Vancouver. All data is from secondary sources, which are duly mentioned in the last slide. This was done as a part of an assignment of Transport Policy and Legislation.
Presentation tries to portray the context, necessity, role and importance of transportation in the urban context, issues faced by cities in rationalizing transport and options which can be leveraged in making transportation sustainable - which inter alia includes; making cities compact, planning for people, promoting accessibility, limiting mobility, re-ordering the priority for mobility, leveraging mass transportation, technology etc. Presentation stresses the role an d importance of shape and size of the city in making transportation sustainable. Need for changing the approach to urban planning has also been emphasized.

– Region must meet greenhouse gas reduction targets
– Housing allocations need to be consistent with SCS
• The Complete Streets Act (2008 SB 1358 )
– Requires cities to account for all users of the roadway when
updating their Circulation Elements
5. Content Requirement for
Circulation Element Planning
Location and extent of existing and proposed
Currently transportation routes all correlated with the land
use plan
Plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation
network that meets the needs of all users of
streets for safe and convenient travel.
Commencing
January, 2011 All users means bicyclists, children, persons with
disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial
goods, pedestrians, users of public
transportation, and seniors.
