This presentation on Walkability is for a upcoming seminar/charrette hosted by the Town of Collierville, Tn. There is a particular focus on block design as one of the key components of a wlakable neighborhood.
This document discusses the benefits of proximity, density, and walkability in cities compared to car-dependent suburban sprawl. It argues that compact, transit-oriented development enhances economic opportunity and social well-being by reducing transportation costs, increasing property values, and fostering interaction. However, urban sprawl and car dependency have negative environmental, public health, and social consequences. As evidence of this shift, the document notes policies that promote walkable cities, reclamation of public spaces from cars, and the urbanization of previously suburban retailers and business parks.

Functional Classification of Streets: So important that no one wants to talk ...Andy Boenau
This presentation was given as an online seminar sponsored by American Planning Association's New Urbanism Division. The audio is available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/J9HjJ78Ma7w
As practitioners of new urbanism principles, it is important to understand why our street networks have eroded so dramatically and the direct connection to livability and sustainability that we strive to achieve. The purpose of the webcast will educate participants to strengthen their transportation planning knowledge base. That knowledge will increase productivity of the collaboration between engineers and planners.
Functional classification is a transportation topic that is often left for engineers to sort out, but it has a huge impact on urban planning. Anyone involved in urban planning – including community stakeholders – should be part of the dialogue surrounding the function of public streets. Functional classification is a way that transportation professionals group streets according to the type of traffic they serve and the degree of access expected to adjacent land uses.
Few transportation issues are as important as functional classification, and yet it is one of the least understood or debated. Despite the Federal Highway Administration’s advocacy of flexible design standards, typical practice in the United States has been very rigid, leading to unintended negative consequences. For new urbanism, that means streets that require almost highway speeds and lane widths—physical impacts that are contrary to the overall purpose of new urban planning. For example, in some areas an Urban Principal Arterial might require a minimum 45 MPH design speed and minimum 12-foot wide lanes, even if the surrounding land uses need more appropriate (i.e. livable, sustainable) solutions.
The session includes two primary takeaways: (1) history of streets (vitality, walkability, etc.); and (2) how we can learn from our history to improve streets (including mobility and safety for all users). Designing places scaled appropriately for active human living is critical, especially in urbanized areas (city centers, suburbs, villages, etc.).
This document discusses ways to improve mobility and transit in Montgomery County, Maryland beyond the planned Purple Line light rail project. It argues that Montgomery County should adopt a "Transit First" land use and planning paradigm focused on reducing car dependency and encouraging use of alternative transportation modes like walking, biking, and public transit. Specific recommendations include improving bus service and marketing, developing transit-oriented development around existing and planned rail stations, and integrating different transportation modes through better connectivity and infrastructure like bike sharing.

Land Use & Transport Planning_Istanbul IETT Workshop 4_15 June 2015VTPI
The document summarizes a presentation on integrating public transport and land use planning in Istanbul, Turkey. It discusses how Istanbul aims to protect its historic center through sustainable transport, including improving mass transit. It recommends making Istanbul's historic center more walkable, bikeable, and accessible through public transit. The presentation also promotes transit-oriented development, complete streets, and other smart growth policies to create a more people-oriented city and reduce automobile dependence.
Cities are growing and so does its infrastructure. Many cities are questioning its car oriented planning and going for walkability. Author and lecturer Alexander Ståhle explains why in this presentation. Alexander Ståhle is also CEO at Spacescape and PhD in Urban Design.
This document discusses repurposing parking spaces to create public spaces like parklets and bike corrals. It provides an example of the first parklet and bike corral created in Lexington, MA. The goals were to promote placemaking and economic benefits. Placemaking is about creating good public spaces to promote community health and well-being. Studies show bicyclists and pedestrians spend more overall at local businesses than drivers. The document outlines a 6-step approach used in Lexington, including piloting projects, documenting success, and building on success. Key questions for communities to consider are outlined.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted on pedestrian infrastructure and walkability in various cities in India. It was found that infrastructure for pedestrians is generally poor and unsafe, especially in low-income areas. Sidewalks are often encroached upon, discontinuous, poorly maintained and not disabled-friendly. There is a need to prioritize pedestrians and enforce laws and guidelines to protect pedestrian rights and space in urban planning. Learning from international best practices, Indian cities can work on legal frameworks, traffic calming measures and creation of walkable neighborhoods to promote walking.
The document summarizes proposals from the OECD Working Group on 'Walking, Urban Space and Health' to encourage walking in urban areas. The proposals aim to provide governments with recommendations to implement policies that view walking as essential to urban mobility and public health. Specifically, the proposals focus on analyzing pedestrian needs, measures to promote walking, and transforming urban spaces from car-centric to people-centric through urban planning and design. The ultimate goal is to create livable, healthy and safe urban environments where walking and socializing are a pleasure rather than a burden.
This document summarizes a presentation on autonomous vehicles given to the Southern New England APA Conference on October 17, 2013. It discusses several key points:
1) Major automakers like Google, Nissan, Ford, and BMW are developing autonomous vehicle technology, with some vehicles able to perform functions like adaptive cruise control, parallel parking, and emergency braking without human input.
2) Testing by Google has shown its self-driving cars can travel over 300,000 miles without an accident compared to the average human driver error rate. However, fully autonomous vehicles without human oversight present complex control and legal issues.
3) Autonomous vehicles could significantly impact transportation, land use, and urban design by reducing the need
This document provides an agenda and overview for a community meeting on transportation. It discusses goals of improving mobility, health, safety, accessibility and affordability. Challenges mentioned include limited road space, overcrowded transit, health costs of inactivity, and climate change. The document outlines directions and targets for various topics like land use, goods movement, walking, cycling, transit and motor vehicles. It aims to make the majority of trips by foot, bike and transit and eliminate dependence on fossil fuels.
This document discusses the history and evolution of taxi services from traditional to modern. It begins with a brief history of taxi services dating back to 1640 and how they traditionally operated with issues like additional surcharges and lack of transportation options. It then introduces modern on-demand taxi services like Uber that launched in 2009, received funding, and now operates in many cities worldwide using app-based booking and cashless payments. The document concludes by outlining Uber's business model, services, competitive strategies, and future plans to expand into new areas like autonomous vehicles, food/package delivery, and water taxis.
The document summarizes presentations from an urban mobility summit hosted by Uber. It discusses partnerships between Uber and public transit agencies to provide first/last mile transportation. Examples highlighted partnerships in Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, and other cities where Uber provides subsidies or discounts for trips to/from transit stations. The document also discusses how the launch of London's Night Tube service provided an opportunity to study the relationship between Uber and public transit ridership. Finally, the document outlines Uber's approaches to safety and the future of urban transportation as private car ownership declines and ridesharing increases.
This document describes MISTER, a proposed personal rapid transit (PRT) system that would function as both a public transit solution and a tourist attraction for cities. MISTER vehicles would travel individually on an elevated guideway at speeds up to 50 km/hr, connecting every location on demand without stops. It claims to solve problems of traffic, pollution and congestion in a more efficient manner than existing public transit or private vehicles. The system is depicted as environmentally friendly and a major attraction that could increase a city's economy. Details are provided on its inventor, prototype demonstrations, advantages over other PRT systems, and confirmation of feasibility from Polish academics.
Presentation is an attempt to bring out the use of Video in rational planning, designing besides making cities more efficient, effective, productive, resilient and sustainable.

The document summarizes the Shared-Use Mobility Summit that took place in San Francisco in October 2013. Over 300 people attended from 105 companies, 62 government agencies and 17 universities. Key sessions at the summit included discussions on trends in shared mobility, case studies of successful shared mobility programs, the sharing economy, bikesharing, governance approaches, impacts of shared mobility, and the future of mobility policy. Key takeaways included that government needs to facilitate shared mobility, access needs to be expanded to lower income areas, greater public subsidy is required, and integration with public transit should be a goal.
This document outlines various types of transportation surveys that are important for transportation planning, including road network inventory, traffic volume counts, origin-destination surveys, household surveys, economic activity surveys, public transportation studies, safety studies, and parking surveys. The objectives, methodology, sampling approach, and expected outputs are described for each type of survey. Conducting comprehensive transportation surveys is essential for developing an effective transportation plan.

The objectives, methodology, sampling approach, and expected outputs are described for each type of survey. Conducting comprehensive transportation surveys is essential for developing an effective transportation plan.
A transportation survey was conducted from March 4-31 by the Sustainability Council Committee which included faculty, the Sustainability Director, a graduate student, and undergraduate student. The survey had a 46% faculty/staff response rate and 23% student response rate. The survey gathered data on commute modes, total commuting distance per year, and commute maps for faculty/staff and students.
The document summarizes a presentation on a cordon line survey. A cordon line survey studies travel patterns within an area bounded by an imaginary boundary line. The area inside the cordon line is studied extensively, looking at land use, economic activities, and travel characteristics. Travel patterns from and to areas outside the cordon line are also examined at a macro level. Key terms related to cordon line surveys include external cordon line, study area, internal and external trips, screen lines, and zones. Factors like existing and planned development, symmetric daily life patterns, safe survey locations, and compatibility with previous studies should be considered when selecting a cordon line.
This presentation discusses the role of transportation in national development. It covers various modes of transportation including roads, railways, airways, waterways, and pipelines. Transportation contributes to economic, industrial, and social development by connecting markets, increasing trade, and facilitating the movement of goods and people. While transportation is crucial for development, it can also have negative impacts like migration, pollution, and increased crime. The presentation concludes that investment in high quality transportation systems is necessary to allow remote communities to fully participate in and benefit from national development.
Transport is the means of carrying passengers or goods from one place to another. It plays an important role in distributing goods from producers to consumers and enables people to travel with ease. There are various modes of transport, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, and factors like cost, speed, and cargo must be considered when choosing a mode. Modern developments continue to improve transportation systems.
Group 1 members are Akshay Samant (Roll No. 04) and Harshita Deotare (Roll No. 19). Transportation is the movement of items from one place to another and is crucial for logistics. It allows for the efficient movement of goods and impacts areas through its speed, costs, and capabilities. Different modes of transportation like rail, road, water, and air each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The document discusses proposals to reduce traffic congestion in New York City through various methods including congestion pricing. Some key points discussed are:
- Implementing congestion pricing in Manhattan south of 86th street, charging $8 for cars and $21 for trucks from 6am-6pm on weekdays.
- Lessons from London and Stockholm's congestion pricing programs show they can significantly reduce traffic and improve speeds when modest fees are charged.
- The current system of bridge and tunnel tolls in NYC is dysfunctional with different rates charged by different agencies. Congestion pricing could help streamline this system.
- A free market approach that varies pricing by time of day, day of week,
The document discusses the concept of a "Car-Free Omaha" and advocates for more livable streets and neighborhoods that are less dependent on automobiles. It notes that current transportation planning in the US focuses too much on cars over people. It outlines some of the health, financial, social and environmental benefits of more walkable and bikeable communities with good public transit options. Examples of car-free corridors from other cities are provided. Updates on transportation planning efforts in Omaha are also mentioned.

This document provides strategies for improving pedestrian safety and encouraging walking through low-cost traffic calming and pedestrian infrastructure improvements. It describes approaches such as slow speed zones, lighter quicker cheaper projects, and placemaking. It then details types of low-cost infrastructure improvements that can be implemented including streetscape additions like banners, trees, benches, and lighting; signs and signals; sidewalk improvements; roadway design changes; street crossings; and parking modifications. For each strategy, it indicates whether it aims to reduce speeds, improve safety, encourage walking, enhance placemaking, and provides a general cost range. The strategies presented can be implemented independently by communities and municipalities to quickly enhance walking environments.
Parisar - Vision for a people-friendly cityParisarPune
The document discusses the need for sustainable transport solutions in cities. It notes that cities today face a mobility crisis due to congestion, a health crisis due to air pollution, and a safety crisis with high rates of accidents. It argues that continuing to build more roads and infrastructure focused on vehicles will not solve these issues and will only increase traffic. The document advocates for designing cities for people rather than vehicles through policies like restricting personal motor vehicles, improving public transit and non-motorized transport, implementing parking and congestion pricing, and creating more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly streets. It provides examples of cities that have successfully implemented such policies and transformed their transport systems.
The document contains a presentation on transportation planning for a city. It discusses goals of mobility, health, safety, accessibility and affordability. It notes challenges like limited road space, overcrowded transit, and climate change. The presentation outlines directions for various modes of transportation including promoting walking, cycling, and transit use over private vehicle trips. It proposes targets for increasing sustainable trips and reducing car dependence. Specific strategies are provided for land use planning, goods movement, and managing motor vehicles. The document concludes with a discussion of monitoring progress towards the transportation goals.
This is my first assginment for the 'massive online open course' called TechniCity (https://www.coursera.org/course/techcity). This is a project proposal for the class focusing on a mobile app to improve reporting dangerous streets/ intersections and areas of the city requiring maintenance service.
Complete streets activists call presentation - part 1rachel_butler
Complete Streets activists call for policies that ensure safe access for all users of roads, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation riders. A Complete Streets policy requires that new and retrofitted roads accommodate all users through features like sidewalks, bike lanes, and safe crossings. Over 700 jurisdictions have adopted such policies in the U.S. Advocates argue that Complete Streets improve safety, health, mobility, and economic opportunities in communities.
This document provides a summary of Streets For All's Mobility Report Card, which evaluates each member of the California Legislature based on their support for mobility and transportation bills over the past two years. It highlights top performing legislators, includes summaries of endorsed and sponsored legislation, and explains the report's goals of identifying allies, encouraging improved support, and bringing attention to areas needing improvement. The report aims to advance innovative transportation solutions that prioritize sustainability, safety, and multimodal access over car-centric policies.
The Streets For All Mobility Report Card is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive look at each member of the California Legislature and their mobility record over the past two years. The Report Card is based on the voting and authorship records of each member of the Legislature with respect to all bills sponsored or supported by Streets For All during the 2021-2022 Legislative session.

The document discusses strategies for linking land use and transportation planning to promote quality growth through improved livability, infrastructure efficiency, and economic vitality. It outlines how density, diversity of land uses, and pedestrian-oriented design can influence travel patterns and reduce automobile dependence. The document provides a toolbox of land use and transportation planning strategies including adopting transit-oriented development guidelines, integrating plans, and designing context-sensitive roadways and pedestrian-friendly sites.
The documents discuss the Complete Streets movement, which advocates for roadways that are designed and operated to enable safe access and mobility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, and motorists of all ages and abilities. Supporters argue that many streets currently prioritize automobiles and are unsafe for other modes of transportation. They note a growing interest among Americans in walking and biking more. Complete Streets policies require considering all road users in transportation planning and projects. Common features of Complete Streets include sidewalks, bike lanes, wide shoulders, and crosswalks.
1) Congestion pricing is part of a larger plan called PlaNYC 2030 that aims to improve New York City's environment, transportation system, and quality of life.
2) Congestion pricing would involve a daily fee of $8-$21 for vehicles entering or traveling within Manhattan south of 86th street between 6am-6pm to reduce traffic and raise funds for transit improvements.
3) Studies show congestion pricing reduced traffic by 16-25% in London and Stockholm, and was projected to reduce traffic in the NYC zone by 6-11% depending on location.
The document discusses prospects for implementing road pricing in Accra, Ghana to reduce traffic congestion. It outlines several causes of congestion in Accra including a proliferation of low-capacity vehicles and insufficient road infrastructure for travel demand. The study aims to examine the problems and prospects of road pricing, improve accessibility, and ascertain public views. If implemented, road pricing is hypothesized to reduce the number of low-capacity vehicles entering the study area and potentially decrease congestion by shifting some trips to public transit or other times. The methodology involves surveys of various stakeholder groups to determine relationships between road pricing and transportation choices.
This document discusses the economic benefits of placemaking and complete streets. Placemaking creates great public spaces that improve quality of life and economic development by attracting businesses and talent. Complete streets that accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit alongside vehicles make communities more livable and boost economic indicators like property values, retail sales, and development. Case studies show projects that converted roads to be more multimodal generated hundreds of millions in economic output and private investment. Walkable communities with good public spaces are shown to have higher property values.
This document discusses the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on cities. It notes that AVs could significantly improve safety by removing human error, increase road capacity, and provide new mobility options. However, it also raises challenges around planning, legislation, public acceptance, and generational issues. A key point is that the price of accessing AVs will influence traffic volumes, public transport use, car ownership patterns, and urban structure. If prices are low it could lead to sprawl, but higher prices may concentrate development and constrain vehicle miles traveled. The document argues cities must carefully consider these impacts to shape a sustainable vision for autonomous vehicles.
This document discusses the Livable Omaha initiative, which aims to improve transportation planning in Omaha. It notes that current transportation planning has focused on cars over people and outlines some issues with sparse road networks that prioritize traffic flow. The document advocates for denser street grids, more transportation options like public transit and biking, and street design that considers pedestrians. This would have benefits like reducing air pollution, improving public health, boosting the economy and helping more groups get around, making Omaha a more livable city.
