Urban Circulator Roundtable: Shaping Cities One Challenge at a Time AICP CM 1.5
An urban circulator roundtable? How appropriate! Hear speakers from around the country -- Austin; Atlanta; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Portland-- experienced in different disciplines of urban circulator implementation. Start with short presentations from each unique perspective, then focus on the challenges and issues associated with implementation -- outreach, financing, traffic, etc. -- and how each organization overcame these challenges.

A Complete Picture of Corridor Planning: The Fundamentals by Dwight Schock Rail~Volution
Simply put, transportation corridors connect people and commerce. But there are many considerations that go into a successful corridor plan. How do you align regional and local goals to leverage support with stakeholders and partners? How do you select the appropriate mode for each corridor segment? Where does active transportation fit in? What are the principles of complete corridors? How can we address station location, limited rights of way and land use along corridors? Where does financing fit in? And that pesky last-mile challenge... Learn tactics for establishing development-ready corridors and phasing in modes in this fundamental review of a long, long list of corridor issues.

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.
