The document summarizes plans to transform Tysons Corner, Virginia from an auto-oriented suburban office park into a more sustainable, transit-oriented urban center. Currently, Tysons Corner has 105,000 jobs and 17,000 residents spread across a traffic-clogged area with few transit options. The plans aim to concentrate new development within a half mile of four new Metro stations, adding 100,000 residents and 200,000 jobs. This will create a more walkable, urban environment organized around transit and high-density mixed-use development. The plans were developed over five years through extensive public outreach and input.

RV 2015: Art, Community Culture and TOD: Four Stories by Abigail Thorne-LymanRail~Volution
This document discusses art policy issues and funding alternatives for BART. It provides background on why a new art policy is needed now, to enhance the rider experience and community identity. It examines the art programs of other transit agencies, finding that allocation percentages for art range from 0.5-1.5% of capital project budgets. Case studies show how different agencies fund staffing and programming. Examples are given of BART and other agency art projects and their associated budgets, ranging from $7,000 for a temporary performance to $350,000 for station art. The document suggests allowing art to happen organically and recording the results as one plan, and making small wins to demonstrate the benefits of public art.

Is there equity in shared-use mobility today? Will there be tomorrow? Who will serve low-income communities? For-profit companies will want subsidies. There are few nonprofit car shares in the market to fill the gap. Low-emission vehicles are desperately needed in communities disproportionately burdened by air pollution. But launching an electric or hybrid car-sharing effort can be prohibitively expensive. What is the way forward? Analyze the research. Listen to lessons learned. Explore opportunities and strategies for car sharing in low-income communities.

7 Newsletter Behavioral structure of the organizationGraylit
The document discusses planning for goals and how planning ideal actions can lead to goal success. It states that for any goal, one should create an action plan to map out the specific steps, like planning a holiday by booking tickets, accommodation, packing, and arranging care for pets. Goal success depends on creating apt ideal actions and then following through on those plans. The document provides the example of planning a holiday with other families and how that would require group planning and individual plans within that. Finally, it discusses how organizations can structure goals and roles to define ideal actions and game plans to achieve the organizational strategy and drive performance.
The document summarizes United States merchandise trade data for November 2016, including information on trade surpluses and deficits with NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada as well as China. It notes that President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on reducing America's large trade deficits by imposing tariffs on countries like China and Mexico unless they change trading practices costing American jobs, and that a lower trade deficit would add to the overall economy by meaning American companies are selling more abroad than Americans are importing.
This document provides an executive summary of a book that aims to analyze different economic systems and propose ways to achieve greater economic justice and fairness. It discusses how the 2008 financial crisis caused suffering and a transfer of wealth from poorer to richer groups. It outlines the two main economic models - the free market economy proposed by Adam Smith and the centrally controlled economy proposed by Karl Marx. However, it argues that neither model is grounded in thorough social science. The document calls for better social science and intellectual tools to understand social systems and the links between people, the economy and wealth creation in order to design an economic system where people feel they are treated fairly and can achieve fulfillment.
The document summarizes a two-week adventure trip across Peru from Lake Titicaca to the Amazon rainforest.

The document summarizes Atlanta's transportation plan to update its 2008 transportation plan. It discusses the plan's purpose of supporting rapid population and housing growth while relieving congestion through new funding sources. It outlines the community engagement process, including meetings, pop-ups, and online engagement to gather input. It also summarizes the plan's goals of accessibility, sustainability, and equity and the evaluation of potential transportation projects based on their ability to meet these goals in a multimodal network that focuses on alternative modes to driving.
Bike Share Program Investigation: Best Practices, GTHA Context Analysis and L...Smart Commute
This document outlines best practices for bike share programs based on a review of case studies and the GTHA context. It discusses the evolution of bike share programs and different operational models. Case studies from Paris, Washington DC, and Montreal provide details on program launch, size, funding models, and impacts. The document then analyzes the environmental context in the GTHA, stakeholder groups, integration strategies, and legal considerations. It recommends implementation strategies tailored for different community sizes, centered around transit. Next steps include further consultation and feasibility studies for potential bike share pilots in Newmarket and Toronto.
This document discusses urban transport challenges and solutions. It notes that as urban populations and vehicles increase, cities face constraints on resources. This implies a huge challenge to build infrastructure while limiting environmental and public health impacts. The document evaluates two approaches: capital intensive solutions like expanding roads and rail; and changing paradigms by prioritizing non-motorized transport and bus systems. It argues that alternative solutions can transform cities in a low-cost, high impact way through compact development focused on pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and disincentives for car use. Examples from cities like Bogota demonstrate extraordinary results from integrated sustainable transport policies.
This document summarizes key points from two lightening talks about decarbonizing transport in Latin America. The first talk discusses how transit reforms aimed at promoting public transport in Latin American cities have often reduced transit ridership by 9-12% on average due to higher costs and lower frequency. The second talk examines ride-hailing apps and finds through simulations that they are very unlikely to reduce vehicle kilometers traveled and likely increase it by taking passengers from more sustainable modes. Both findings suggest the need to rethink current approaches to transport reforms and policies governing ride-hailing apps to better promote sustainability goals.

Delivered by Mr Coenie Vermaak, CEO of the Electronic Toll Collection company at a transport forum session in South Africa on road funding and economic development.
The document discusses the establishment and functions of the Gauteng Transport Authority (GTA) in South Africa. Key points include:
- The GTA was established through legislation to integrate and regulate public transport services in Gauteng province.
- Its objectives are to consolidate transport functions, integrate the transport system, foster cooperation between operators, and improve public transport planning and services.
- The GTA's responsibilities include developing a long-term strategic transport plan, regulating fares, providing infrastructure and services, and collecting transport data and statistics.
- It will be governed by a board of directors representing government and transport specialists and will work to better coordinate planning, operations, enforcement and funding of public transport.
Delivered by acting CEO of the Road Freight Association, Gavin Kelly during a ‘Road Funding in South Africa - Feedback from Operators’ event held in Midrand, Johannesburg.
Road funding from a freight forwarding and logistics perspectiveTristan Wiggill
Heavy vehicles contribute significantly to road damage and congestion but do not adequately contribute to road funding through taxes. This increases freight transportation costs and air pollution. Freight forwarders argue that the fuel levy tax model does not account for differences in fuel efficiency between vehicles and that freight is a major economic contributor that is punished under the current system. Buses receive subsidies for using roads while freight does not, despite freight's greater economic impact. The government could help by creating a sustainable freight infrastructure funding system, improving operator training, reducing inefficient freight transport costs, and reducing affiliation fees for regulatory compliance.
E-tolls: The Impact on Development in GautengTristan Wiggill
The document discusses the impact of e-tolls on development in Gauteng, South Africa. It summarizes that e-tolls were implemented to fund the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) which upgraded roads to support economic growth. The GFIP reduced congestion and improved access, benefiting commercial and residential development. Studies found the GFIP created jobs and increased GDP, and that e-tolls provided savings through reduced travel costs and times that outweighed toll fees. The conclusion is that while e-tolls have some negative costs, the GFIP and tolls overall benefit the Gauteng economy.
