At the time, my focus was trying to create a shared parking scenario, and to invest in sustainable mobility. Transportation Demand Management programming The reality is, especially in a place like Salt Lake, most people drive. Promoting biking, walking, and other sustainable modes is another element of TDM.
I used to write yearly about this, focusing on how the sustainable mobility centric city needs snow removal policies that co-equally privilege walking, biking and transit users, not just the motor vehicle parts of roads.
More recently, in 2013, Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah died at the hands of air pollution. Half a century ago, a lethal haze of smoke and fog, otherwise known as the Great Smog of 1952, covered London and killed as many as 12,000 people. Continue reading on TheCityFix.com.
Everyday risk factors are different when floods, transportation crashes, landslides, toxic spills, structural collapses occur against a background of asymmetric warfare, armed insurgency, fighting or rampant terrorism. One question that is asked relatively rarely is why we exclude warfare from our definitions of disaster.
One of my points about master planning is that for functional areas: transportation; parks and recreation; culture; etc., But they aren't organized into an overarching association, in a manner comparable to how Germany organizes regional transport associations to coordinate the planning and delivery of transit services.
Note that the original PL series on Silver Spring did discuss an intra core shuttle system to complement their parking structures and to allow for converting Fenton Avenue to a sustainable mobility corridor. But I didn't extend this tertiary transit concept to the transit sheds of other PL stations.
Since 2013, WRI India’s annual flagship event, Connect Karo, has served as a platform for facilitating dialogue between policymakers, experts. Join us July 17-18 for Connect Karo 2023 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Register now and review the agenda.
The first proposes a "transport association" based on the German VV model, where all the local transit providers commit to integrated service, and a common schedule and fare system. My friend says there is no good public transportation from the airport to the city's major hotels. Cool train branding designs though for Tri-Rail.
on H Street NE, at least pre-covid, 40% of people throughput was by bus, via 300 bus trips, it's tough to corral automobiles, especially because most of the city, except the core is shaped by the automobility paradigm (" DC as a suburban agenda dominated city ," 2013). And you could run articulated buses to increase capacity.
It definitely is an illustration of my point that bus shelters are "marketing touchpoints" of transit systems (" Arlington County's bus shelters and a public realm framework of quality ," 2013), and if bus shelters are crappy that communicates very clearly that the community doesn't value transit.
Include transportation, arts and culture, and tourism planning elements. Getting the Inner Harbor right is an opportunity that will not come again in our lifetimes; it offers the chance to create an economic and perceptual transformation. Instead of a task force. Have an advisory committee with developers and key organizations.
I was surprised to see that Andy Byford has stepped down as CEO of Transport for London, as it was his dream job (" Ex-NYC subways chief Andy Byford quits London gig, plans return to US ," New York Post ). Andy Byford.
Here in Salt Lake City, a local sustainable mobility group advocated for a dedicated bus lane on a street with only four lanes, for a bus line with fewer than 2,400 riders per day. Obviously it's because most of the lines have minimal ridership. That's crazy.
Then again, when I get into "arguments" about this, the issue isn't to make people in Montana or Wyoming, who often drive hundreds of miles on trips because of the distance between communities, but to capture as many trips as possible by sustainable means in those places where sustainable mobility is particularly efficient.
I suggested many things over the years including: -- creating a transportation management district for the Capitol Hill area, serving Eastern Market. This was proposed a number of years ago for EM, first in the Barry Administration and then around 2012-2013, but the vendors fought it, with the support of now Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The project took six years to complete, and the station opened in 2012, with full service in 2013. As part of the redevelopment plan, the U4 line was extended by about 4/10 miles with the addition of the HafenCity University station (the line has since been further extended). Conclusion. It's been 26 years.
sustainable mobility. But these kinds of efforts are often criticized as inequitable ( Marketing Schools, Marketing Cities: Who Wins and Who Loses When Schools Become Urban Amenities , Maia Bloomfield Cucchiara, 2013). In general, people don't want schools to be bad. Transit, walking, biking, car share need to be viable options.
Transit/transportation as a set of networks operating at different scales : this extends the argument laid out in the 2006 Arlington County Master Transportation Plan, where they defined their primary and secondary transit networks. ( This entry became very long, so I broke it up. I have more than 1,000 entries on this topic.
Transportation demand management in the Walking City (" Transportation and Urban Form: Stages in the Spatial Evolution of the American Metropolis " Muller) is about optimal mobility. Plus, for each person shifted to sustainable modes, that's one less car on the road, one less competitor for limited parking spaces, etc.

Some teams pay for transit services. special marketing initiatives.
