SUMMARY:Alternatives to Policing
DESCRIPTION:Black people experience disproportionate policing\, which can create fear of violence as they use transit\, walk and bike in the streets. As transportation agencies move to better understand how systemic racism and bias show up in the built environment\, what alternatives to policing can transportation professionals use to ensure a dignified and safe mobility experience? \nJoin NACTO to hear U.S. precedents to decrease reliance upon policing\, and reduce opportunities for police interactions. Examples will focus primarily on reimagining safety on transit and in public space\, though lessons will be applicable to rethinking traffic enforcement in safety programs such as Vision Zero.

SUMMARY:Financing America's Infrastructure Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:There’s no “right” way to procure much-needed upgrades to America’s infrastructure. \nAmerica’s states\, cities and localities all make decisions in the best interest of their citizens. But there is best practice in financing infrastructure. This involves allocating risk properly\, choosing the right partners\, and picking the best financing markets. \nProximo brings you the 2020 Financing America’s Infrastructure event. It will cover all assets and all financing markets. Whether building a new university campus or selling a container port to another private investor\, whether accessing the term loan B or tax-exempt municipal market\, this event will cover the latest financing trends with the leading investors and contractors in their segments. \nThis virtual event will look at what makes assets bankable\, bond market-ready or investible\, depending on who’s looking. It will discuss at how lenders will tackle direct-procure\, build-finance\, design-build-finance\, design-build-finance-maintain\, P3\, non-profit or fully private structures\, with a heavy focus on the deals that are AT or NEAR market.

SUMMARY:Sustainable and Equitable Funding for Pedestrian Infrastructure Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Walking as a means of transportation has health\, environmental\, and economic benefits. Well-maintained sidewalks are important for communities to meet their active travel goals. But pedestrian infrastructure in many communities is discontinuous\, inaccessible to those with physical disabilities\, and poorly maintained – particularly in lower-income neighborhoods. The availability of an adequate\, sustainable\, and equitable source of funding is a major challenge for maintaining sidewalks in a state of good repair.  Governments across the nation maintain and repair roads and highways\, but most cities require adjacent property owners to maintain the sidewalks. In this presentation\, researchers will share findings from separate studies regarding alternative approaches for funding sidewalk infrastructure and whether these approaches could lead to more sustainable and equitable outcomes when applied to the cities of Atlanta\, Georgia and Albuquerque\, New Mexico.

SUMMARY:Winning Transit: The Cincinnati Story
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here \nEighteen years ago\, voters in greater Cincinnati rejected a proposal to expand the region’s transit system by more than 2 to 1. This spring\, the votes told a very different story: A measure to expand Cincinnati transit service captured a majority of votes in Hamilton County\, even with most of the ballots cast during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. \nWhat changed between then and now? \nOne of the major differences is the emergence of the Better Bus Coalition. Founded in 2017 and led by Cam Hardy\, the Better Bus Coalition quickly established itself as a voice for Cincinnati bus riders\, winning improvements like better seating at bus stops and the city’s first dedicated bus lane. Those early victories made a tangible difference for riders while building credibility and relationships that would prove invaluable during the county-wide transit referendum campaign. \nTransit systems will face headwinds as a result of COVID-19\, but the Better Bus Coalition’s big win at the ballot box shows that savvy\, rider-focused advocacy can still prevail. Join Cam Hardy and TransitCenter Executive Director David Bragdon for a conversation about how transit advocates can build power and achieve major improvements for riders despite challenging political terrain. \nIn conversation: \nDavid Bragdon\, Executive Director\, TransitCenter \nCam Hardy\, President\, Better Bus Coalition \nPlease note: This is a webinar on Zoom. For security purposes\, only registered Zoom users will be able to RSVP. \nThe webinar begins at 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific.

SUMMARY:Thinking Outside the Box: Urban Freight & Delivery During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Cities have seen a dramatic increase in the volume of freight and deliveries moving on their streets. Online retailers and delivery companies have seen nearly a 50 percent jump in orders over the past two months. With more people shopping online\, businesses are grappling with this surge in delivery trips and looking to find new ways to conduct contact-less deliveries to protect the health and safety of customers and employees. For cities who are working to organize and manage this new confluence of needs at the curb\, thoughtful planning and innovation are key to accommodating growing numbers of delivery vehicles while ensuring that people can keep their distance on sidewalks and curbsides. \nEfficient\, safe goods movement ensures that we all have access to essential items and services and is a critical part of our COVID-19 response and our long-term economic recovery. In this webinar\, we’ll hear from the Cities of Seattle and Toronto as well as UPS Canada about how cities and businesses have adjusted their approaches to freight and curbside management programs in the wake of the current pandemic. \nThursday\, June 4 | 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT \nModerators:\nSindhu Bharadwaj\, Policy Associate\, NACTO\nJanelle Lee\, Analyst\, Pembina Institute \nPanelists:\nMary Catherine Snyder\, Parking Strategic Advisor\, City of Seattle\nNazzareno Capano\, Manager of Transportation Policy & Innovation\, City of Toronto\nAylin Lusi\, Vice President of Public Affairs\, UPS Canada \nRegister – Zoom\n(must register in advance) \nThis webinar is co-hosted by NACTO and the Pembina Institute. \nThis webinar is a resource of the NACTO COVID-19 Transportation Response Center\, part of Bloomberg Philanthropies COVID-19 Local Response Initiative.

SUMMARY:Road to Recovery Webinar Series: Jennifer Aument
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Aument\, President of Transurban North America\nJennifer Aument leads the development and operations of major toll roads in North America on behalf of Transurban – one of the largest infrastructure developers in the world and a market leader in private-private partnerships. She will discuss the role the private sector can play in driving job creation and innovation through the delivery of transportation infrastructure as policy leaders look toward economic recovery\, including: \n\nHow can we learn from the past to ensure a modern infrastructure stimulus will provide long lasting economic benefits?\nHow can federal and local governments unlock capital in latent assets to rebuild modern infrastructure?\nHow can federal loan programs like TIFIA protect jobs and support economic recovery?\nWhat does the future now hold for vehicle miles traveled\, user-pay systems and the potential for sustainable infrastructure funding sources?\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic is challenging transportation organizations across the United States and around the globe. As ridership drastically decreases across nearly every mode of travel\, organizations are forced to readjust and realign their goals. Now is the time for transportation leaders to effectively plan for a post-COVID world. \nIn light of this reality\, Eno is proud to announce our new webinar series: Road to Recovery. This webinar series will focus on how transportation organizations and industry professionals can strategically prepare for the post-COVID future. \nTune in on Wednesdays to hear prolific leaders will share their first-hand knowledge and experiences on the road to recovery. You can access recordings of past webinars on our COVID-19 News & Resources Page.

SUMMARY:Responding to COVID-19: From Fixed Routes to Flex Routes
DESCRIPTION:In light of steep declines in transit ridership and municipal budgets as a result of COVID-19\, transit providers are rapidly becoming more reactive and nimble in their offerings. This has included adjusting and reducing fixed route services to provide for essential workers\, but also limiting routes with empty buses. Transit providers have been tasked with the challenge of how to maintain service for frontline workers in a reliable and safe fashion during this time of uncertainty. With a slow and prolonged reopening across the country\, these solutions will also become essential for the workforce that are able to return to work by means of transit. \nTo support cities and businesses in their efforts to provide transportation for their riders\, Ford Mobility subsidiaries TransLoc\, Ride Systems and DoubleMap are providing free transit consulting and demand response software for transit agencies in an effort to help them quickly deploy a responsive service that can both support evolving rider demand\, and adhere to quickly-changing health guidelines. \nJoining Alex Gibson from TransLoc\, we will hear from Josh Powers who is serving as a member of the County Manager’s Office and is the contract administrator and regional transit liaison between Johnson County Government and the Kansas City Area Transit Authority (KCATA). Josh brings a unique perspective as he shares insights from service changes and the re-utilization of infrastructure\, to creative ways to avoid driver layoffs and the allocation of resources with CARE Act funding. \nOffering expertise in reactive transit planning\, powered by demand response software\, TransLoc\, Ride Systems and DoubleMap are working with agencies to offer on-demand services that help to minimize losses associated with drops in ridership\, while continuing to provide mission-critical service. Beyond offering access to demand response software\, Ford Mobility’s transit innovators are offering essential transit planning support during this time of uncertainty.
