Specifically, the speaker noted that the Vancouver SkyTrain's Millennium line extension was built from 1985 to 2000 for 12.6 miles at a cost of under $800 million, and recommended considering a similar rail technology for Honolulu's project.
The document proposes updates to the transportation element of Fort Lauderdale's comprehensive plan to enhance equity, connectivity, and livability through transportation initiatives. It recommends expanding public transit options like the Wave streetcar, implementing a bus rapid transit network, and establishing an intracoastal ferry system. It also proposes designating urban growth areas to concentrate future development, adopting a modal hierarchy prioritizing pedestrians and transit, implementing complete streets design standards, and designating some streets as public spaces. The goals are to provide more equitable, sustainable, and multimodal transportation access for all citizens.

The document summarizes several transportation projects in the Mountain View area, including:
1) The Mountain View Double Track Project which will add a second light rail track between Mountain View Transit Center and State Route 85 in two phases to increase service frequency.
2) Proposed Bus Rapid Transit on El Camino Real which would upgrade existing bus service with bus-only lanes, signal priority, and all-door boarding to make transit faster, more frequent and reliable.
3) The potential implementation of express lanes on State Route 237, State Route 85, and US Highway 101 which would allow solo drivers to use existing carpool lanes for a fee via FasTrak transponders to provide additional congestion relief.
The document discusses two light rail projects - the Green Line Extension in Boston and the Honolulu Rail Transit Project. It provides details on the design and construction of the elevated light rail structures for each project, including the use of steel and concrete viaducts, bridges, and stations. Both projects aim to alleviate traffic congestion through expanded public transportation options and intermodal connectivity.
This presentation is designed to provide a more detailed look at the transportation investments envisioned for each scenario. It also includes some analysis and information presented at the citywide transportation workshop. This is intended to provide more detailed information, and isn’t necessary to complete the survey.”
The document discusses transportation sustainability and growing transportation options in Tulsa. It notes that transportation accounts for 70% of petroleum use in the US and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly 30% of trips in metro areas are less than 1 mile. The document then summarizes Tulsa's regional transit system plan, which includes commuter, urban, and circulator services. It focuses on plans to improve the Peoria Avenue corridor, including the potential for bus rapid transit between downtown Tulsa and 71st Street. Projections estimate ridership on a Peoria BRT line could increase over 125% in 7 years to nearly 5,000 daily riders.
1. The document discusses using GIS analysis to evaluate alternative routing options for a proposed bus route in Renton, Washington.
2. Six possible route combinations were analyzed by buffering each route and selecting businesses within 0.25 miles to estimate potential ridership.
3. The analysis found that a route through Tukwila and extending to a shopping area in Renton along Park Ave had the highest estimated ridership based on nearby full-time employees.
Transportation officials are examining improved public transit options like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems to address urban mobility issues. BRT has become popular due to its operational flexibility and ability to be built quickly and cost-effectively. The main reasons agencies implement BRT are its lower development costs and operating flexibility compared to rail. BRT running ways include mixed traffic lanes, dedicated bus lanes, median busways, and bus-only roads. BRT vehicles range in design from standard buses to articulated and dual-mode vehicles.
The document provides an overview and update of proposed changes to public transportation in Norfolk with the start of light rail. Key points include: light rail is on schedule to begin operations in May 2011; supplemental bus routes will be adjusted to connect to light rail stations; a new downtown transfer station and future multi-modal station are planned; and the existing NET bus route in downtown Norfolk may be modified or replaced to improve connectivity and reduce duplication with light rail. Fare structures and hours of operation for light rail and bus services are also outlined.

The document proposes transforming 1.25 miles above the 134 freeway in Glendale, California into 30 acres of open space in the heart of downtown Glendale. The new park would include a 15-acre neighborhood park near a school and shopping plaza, a 5-acre downtown park near the business district, and a 10-acre village center. The goal is to provide more open space and recreational activities for the growing community while connecting to regional transportation and the Verdugo Wash greenway system.
This document provides instructions for scheduling online appointments with Glendale's Permit Services Center. It explains that users can schedule appointments through the city's website to save time instead of waiting in line. The process involves 7 simple steps: selecting a service, choosing a date and time, providing contact information, printing a barcode, and bringing required documents and payment to the appointment. A reminder is given to have the barcode and completed forms and fees ready for a smooth appointment.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

A rapid transit line between the San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale
and Pasadena has been studied for decades.
For Space 134, rapid transit could be built in three phases:
Frequent, all-day rapid bus
Bus rapid transit with a station in the freeway median
Light rail transit system with a station in the freeway median
Bus signal priority over other vehicles
Lower floors & fewer stops means shorter
travel times by as much as 29 percent
In 2014, Metro completed a study for a
Countywide BRT system with the goal to
improve travel time and schedule reliability.
The North Hollywood to Pasadena corridor was
highly recommended for BRT and a feasibility
and operational design assessment is currently
underway.
This would connect the North Hollywood Metro
Red/Orange Line Station to the City of Pasadena
via the 134 Freeway.
By integrating transit into Space 134, residents
and visitors will receive a greater range of
efficient mobility options.
BRT buses have similar benefits as Rapid
buses, but...
BRT buses travel on a fully-dedicated right-
of-way to avoid traffic congestion
Uses dedicated rail lines as opposed to
being confined to driving on streets
Faster travel times often than Rapid buses
and BRT buses
