The documents discuss transportation and housing issues in Danbury, Connecticut. Wrong-way driving deaths have increased significantly in recent years. Pedestrian fatalities have nearly doubled from 2011 to 2021. Many Danbury residents speak languages other than English, yet train station signs only provide information in English. Improving walkability, bike lanes, and public transportation accessibility could help address affordability issues and provide alternative transportation options to better serve residents.
Smart city case study of Columbus, Ohio: Key lessons, challenges and enablers...Kasper Groes Ludvigsen
Smart city case study of Columbus, Ohio: Key lessons, challenges and enablers from "America's first smart city".
This case study highlights technological enablers of Columbus's smart city initiatives as well as the challenges faced by the city and the key lessons learned. I carried out the case study in the course Smart Cities and Communities at Stanford University in cooperation with two classmates.
This document discusses opportunities for improved regional transit cooperation in Southern New England and the Northeast Corridor megaregion. It notes that eight of the ten densest US states are located in the Northeast Corridor. Addressing issues like traffic congestion and air pollution requires coordinating transportation planning and services across state and county lines. The document then focuses on opportunities for regional cooperation in three specific areas - Southern New England as a whole, the Knowledge Corridor region between Springfield, MA and New Haven, CT, and the metro Hartford, CT region. It discusses integrating services, fare payment, and mobility options across these regions.
The George Washington region is growing rapidly and faces significant transportation challenges. The population has grown 400% since 1960 and is projected to reach 600,000 by 2035. Transportation needs through 2035 have been identified as over $10 billion, but only $2.5 billion in revenues have been identified, leaving a $7.5 billion shortfall. The region must choose between staying on its current course and facing increased congestion, or pursuing additional funding and adapting growth policies to improve transportation and sustainability. Regional cooperation on projects and scenario planning will be important to address the region's critical missing transportation links and complex issues over the coming decades.
This document discusses livability, transportation alternative programs (TAP), and safe routes to school (SRTS) funding. It defines livability as tying transportation to access to jobs, housing, schools, and safe streets. TAP and SRTS funding can be used for byways projects like historic preservation, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and visitor centers. Examples of SRTS infrastructure projects include pedestrian bulb-outs, wider sidewalks, and underground utilities. Contact information is provided for livability, byways, and SRTS programs at the DOT.
This document discusses the concept of livability and provides examples of how different transportation agencies have promoted livability through policies, partnerships, and design. Livability involves creating healthy, sustainable communities with strong neighborhoods, vibrant town centers, access to jobs and opportunities, and integration of land use and transportation. Case studies show how agencies have used policies supporting transit-oriented development, partnerships with local groups, and street design changes to improve livability at various scales.

THE $1.2 TRILLION BIDEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLANDesignTeam8
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides $1.2 trillion for transportation, clean energy, broadband, and electric vehicles. This includes $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Rasky Partners and Park&K are connecting a gasoline retailer, EV infrastructure provider, and 5G company in the Northeast as a public-private partnership to apply for these grants. They will assist with partnership development, grant writing, relationship building in DC, and highlighting proposed projects to federal agencies.
Back in 2015, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), under the leadership of Secretary Anthony Foxx, has
leveraged nearly $350 million in public and private funds for smart city and advanced transportation technologies. Building on
Beyond Traffic 2045, the Smart City Challenge provided a spark for cities looking to revolutionize their transportation systems
to help improve people’s lives. Through the Smart City Challenge, the Department committed up to $40 million to one winning
city. In response, cities leveraged an additional $500 million in private and public funding to help make their Smart City visions
real. And, in October 2016, Secretary Foxx announced an additional $65 million in grants to support community-driven
advanced technology transportation projects in cities across America, including 4 of the finalists in the Smart City Challenge.
By challenging American cities to use emerging transportation technologies to address their most pressing problems, the
Smart City Challenge aimed to spread innovation through a mixture of competition, collaboration, and experimentation.
But the Smart City Challenge was about more than just technology. We called on mayors to define their most pressing
transportation problems and envision bold new solutions that could change the face of transportation in our cities by meeting
the needs of residents of all ages and abilities; and bridging the digital divide so that everyone, not just the tech-savvy, can be
connected to everything their city has to offer.
This document discusses intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in transitional and developing countries. It begins by explaining the rapid growth in vehicle ownership and road traffic as countries reach higher income levels. The conventional approach of expanding infrastructure faces limitations and high costs. ITS emerged by combining information and communication technologies with transportation. ITS can help transitional countries more efficiently manage growing transportation needs. However, ITS deployment in transitional and developing countries requires special consideration due to factors like lower incomes, older vehicle fleets, and varying economic and transportation conditions both within and between countries. The World Bank provides technical notes to help practitioners understand ITS requirements in transitional contexts.

Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2012 Budget HighlightsPorts-To-Plains Blog
The Department of Transportation's FY 2012 budget highlights include:
- A total budget request of $129 billion, including a $556 billion six-year surface transportation reauthorization proposal.
- A $50 billion "Up-Front" economic boost to foster job creation by funding infrastructure projects.
- $5 billion requested to establish an Infrastructure Bank to leverage transportation funding through innovative financing.
- Major increases in funding for federal highway, transit, and passenger rail administration compared to FY 2010 levels.
The document proposes a partnership between the MTA and employers in New York City's outer boroughs to improve bus routes for low- and moderate-income workers. The MTA would work with anchor institutions to analyze employee commute data and allow employers to bid on prospective bus routes serving their areas. This would help the MTA design more effective routes while giving employers access to a larger labor pool. If implemented, the partnership could reduce commute times for low-income workers from over an hour to under 45 minutes, supporting economic growth in the outer boroughs.

The proposed regional transit plan differs from previous versions by including a new north-south BRT corridor from Greenwood to Carmel, more frequent service on four BRT lines, quicker development of the Northeast Corridor rail line, and additional local bus service. The changes reflect lower growth projections and funding uncertainty. The plan will initially focus on Marion and Hamilton counties but study expansion to other counties. It creates a Metropolitan Transit Authority to oversee regional transit including IndyGo buses and proposes a new tax of 0.3% of taxable income to fund the system.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

2. Capitalizing on the
Infrastructure Act
Context:
There is a federal program that offers funding
for projects, including roads, bridges, mass
transportation, and airports. The program is set
to expire in the next 4-5 years, and there are
currently grant cycles available.
Barriers:
Many towns and cities lack the expertise and
the 20% match needed to apply for these
grants, which are complex and competitive.
There is also a perception that public transit is
not for everybody.
Opportunities:
Public support would come for the ‘right’ project,
so it is critically important to inform the public to
generate interest. The program could have a
significant lasting impact on the safety,
economy, and perception of Connecticut.
3. Walkable Streets
& Bike Lanes
Context:
There are 16 towns and 11 villages in
NECOG, which are among the poorest in
the state – covering 1300 miles of road.
There is a spotty network of sidewalks
that do not currently abide by ADA
standards and haven’t been updated in
years.
Barriers:
The towns are very spread out
and matching the 20% funding required
is a challenge for the Northeast corner..
Opportunities:
There is a $200,000 grant for Safe Streets
available, the minimum amount
focusing on Route 6. Funding is available
for future project proposals over the next
few years, with no financial limits if we
can capitalize on it.
4. Last Mile
Solutions
Context:
Microtransit and ride-sharing services are
unattractive due to the low population
density, poor public perception and the
rural nature of the Northeast.
Barriers:
The challenge is that a certain volume of
passengers is needed to make these
services work efficiently. Additionally, it has
been a challenge to find qualified bus
drivers.
Opportunities:
With increased mobility there would be
enhanced employment, economic and
educational opportunities.
5. GPS on Buses
Context:
There is the possibility of using existing
GPS technology on buses to provide
updated information to riders about bus
routes, times, and stops.
Barriers:
This would require agreement among
transit districts, nonprofits and bus
providers to initiate, build, and support.
Opportunities:
Using the information gathered through
GPS and a fleet inventory, a single
platform could serve as a broker for
rides, allowing riders to be directed to
the most efficient means of
transportation to and from their
destinations.
6. Cross-Border
Initiatives
Context:
Connecticut is divided a million ways –
most notably legislatively, economically
and physically. There are 8 counties, 9
COGs, 6 regional educational service
centers and 15 transit districts, which do
not all interconnect and line up.
Barriers:
The state is home to some of the
wealthiest and poorest pockets in the
country and does not offer a structure for
mutual collaboration and cross-border
transportation.
Opportunities:
Connecting this part of the state to the
rest of Connecticut and neighboring
states will have a vast impact on the
economy and mobility of residents.
7. Optimizing
Rider Data
Context:
There is a lack of comprehensive data on rider
demographics and the prospect of coordinating transit
service with the needs of large employers is challenging.
Barriers:
Federal programming provides funding to fill gaps in transit
service, but some organizations have underutilized the
vehicles acquired through these means. Statistics utilized to
assess funding do not necessarily equate to needs.
Opportunities:
There is a pronounced need for better connections between
different transit systems to address low ridership and the
challenges of providing frequent service without incurring
undue costs. Through effective planning, data aggregation,
and coordination many stakeholders might benefit.
