The world has never been more urban than it is now, and this trend isn’t expected to slow down anytime soon. By 2050, the world will have grown by 2.5 billion additional urban dwellers, with almost all of this growth occurring in cities in the developing world. The right ecosystem for change can make sustainable urban solutions a reality—not just in a few cities, but worldwide.

Energy efficient planning in towns of kmc R_Sarita
Human activities are closely dependent on the usage of several forms and sources of energy to perform work. Energy is essential to maintain every form of life and every society. Adequate and consistent availability of usable energy sources is one of the prerequisites for social, economic, technological and environmental development of a country. It is related to sustainable development as a source of environmental stress, as a principal motor of macroeconomic growth, and as a prerequisite for meeting basic human needs
Presented by Eric Ziering, Director of Software, Cambridge Systematics, Inc.
Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.
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.
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.
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.
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 world has been watching China’s economic growth and Shanghai is at the center of it all. With over 20 million in population, the Shanghai Bus Company is the largest in the world with over 1100 routes and the Shanghai Metro, that just opened its first line in 1995, will be the largest system in the world by 2012 with 20 lines and 345 stations. Shanghai has embraced new pathways to success in transporting the overwhelming population by staying on the cutting edge of technology and services. This efficiently
planned transportation system has strengthened the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of Shanghai. In this session you will learn the best practices that keep Shanghai residents moving.
This public system utilizes cost sharing across many fronts; including NE MT/
public coordination; incorporation of existing ARC routes to expand public
system; cooperative cost sharing with ARC, city and county for bus shelter;
and by incorporating private sector needs into public system through
underwriting agreements.

35. Conclusions As societies develop/industrialize, their energy needs rise. Transportation emerges as a major consumer of energy. Automobile-based paradigm with corollary suburban sprawl is wasteful and unsustainable It negates the good effects of “green” building methods and technologies Sustainable urban growth has to embrace mass-transit and support density Designing the right carbon-constrained system can make this happen

[ADD TEXT]
For offsets, we are using modified Kyoto protocols. The Clean Development Mechanism is too cumbersome so we are using survey or model based data. Mode shift is the shift from other modes to public transportation. These other modes include passenger cars, but also pedestrian, bicycle, not making the trip, etc. The CCX has indicated they will accept offsets from this change. Public transportation also provides significant congestion benefits. Reducing peak period travel provides greater speeds to other vehicles and therefore decreases emissions. Public transportation also encourages more compact development which reduces vehicle travel. Note -- CCX and other registries are measuring against a baseline. Only receive credit for changes from baseline. Changes can include new services, extensions, increases in ridership.
The second category concerns energy and carbon reductions within the MTA system itself. The MTA has a history of pioneering cleaner, more efficient energy consumption at every level of operations, from the nation’s first all-CNG bus fleet at Long Island Bus to innovations in track design and green architecture. The sustainability gains show up in a number of statistics. For example, the MTA accounts for 65 percent of all New York City commutes, while using just 5 percent of New York City’s total energy consumption. Likewise, the fact that New Yorkers consume one quarter as much energy per capita as the average American is largely attributable to the MTA system. In other words, if the entire nation matched the energy/carbon profile of the MTA’s transit radius, we would cut foreign oil dependency dramatically and achieve the Kyoto Protocol carbon emission targets decades ahead of schedule.
The MTA should draw 80 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050. To achieve this, the MTA should join a consortium of public entities to pursue offshore wind farms capable of generating up to 1,500 megawatts of clean energy. The MTA should identify Carbon Avoidance as a revenue source to underscore the MTA’s role as a provider of climate stabilization services in its region and to establish the value of MTA services under any decarbonization policy (carbon tax, cap-and-trade, post-Kyoto/Copenhagen rules, etc.). The MTA should reduce operational energy use and GHG emissions by 25 percent by 2019 (on a per-passenger-mile basis) through energy retrofits, smart fleet technologies and more. The MTA should establish a “green” MetroCard contribution program, through which customers could make voluntary, tax-deductible donations to fund green aspects of sustainable capital and operating projects at the MTA. The MTA should field test and implement weight reduction and regenerative braking technologies, as recommended by the Commission’s Smart Fleets task force.
Along with major fixed structures such as bridges, rails lines, and tunnels, the MTA maintains a highly diverse building portfolio of hundreds of facilities, including rail stations, subway stations, maintenance barns, office buildings, and such landmark properties as Grand Central Terminal. The MTA should adopt Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED™) Silver as its standard for all building projects, new construction, and major renovations wherever applicable and either recommission existing buildings or pursue LEED-Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EB) where possible. For all other transit facilities not covered by LEED Silver standards, the MTA should develop MTA Green Design Guidelines, based on the LEED system. The MTA should develop a green Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) system for facilities to track the upfront costs and longterm savings from high- performance and regenerative design features. The MTA should increase the number of LEED accredited employees. The MTA should seek LEED-EB Rating for Grand Central Terminal
Explanation of background image: Von Mises Stress plot of rail car body helps identify areas where lighter materials can be used without compromising structural integrity. The Commission’s recommendations for greening the materials flow at the MTA can be expressed in three words: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Given the scale and diversity of its operations, the MTA must procure and dispose of thousands of tons of material goods each year. Collectively, the MTA agencies purchase some $2 billion worth of products and services annually in an operating budget of about $11 billion. In addition, the MTA must manage its customer-generated waste, process-generated waste, office waste, and construction and demolition debris. The MTA should institute a green Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) system to manage its procurements and waste flow, including purchasing guidelines for green products and services. The MTA should expand its recycling programs, with added waste recovery, pilot programs for site-separation bins at stations and more. The MTA should enhance its efforts to find practical uses and market opportunities for its waste flow. The MTA should use its flex market power to spur the creation of green goods and services in the mid-Atlantic region. The MTA should encourage the use of low-carbon, local materials at all agencies, and by local vendors. The MTA should expand the procurement of sustainable railroad ties at all rail agencies.
In Quarter of a Century Land Value in NY increased 160%.
Population in Manhattan Declined as Population in outer boroughs increased with the construction and expansion of the subways. Express and Local Services on the subways were available from the start.
Improved quality of life: As the new subway lines and extensions opened, developers soon followed with the construction of decent, affordable and low-density housing for both middle-class and working-class families. The formerly bucolic, rural landscape of the City's outlying areas was quickly replaced by long lines of tree-shaded streets containing a mix of apartment houses, private single- and two-family homes, and open recreational spaces.
Spurred commercial development: The subway has allowed there to be extraordinarily dense daytime populations of workers in Manhattan's central business districts. Without the capacity, speed, and affordability of Subway service, hundreds of thousands of people would have no other practical means of commuting to and from their jobs in Manhattan. Additionally, by spurring the development of many new residential neighborhoods in the outer boroughs, the Subway has provided
