The forum will have two purposes: (i) inform the carpooling industry of NCTCOG’s\nplans to access private sector carpooling solutions and (ii) seek industry input on a number of\nissues such as those described below. The forum will be Web only; no in-person attendance will\nbe required or accepted. NCTCOG will not contract for services through this industry forum. If\nNCTCOG intends to do so in the future\, the mechanism to do so will be through a Request for\nProposal. \nMore information can be found here. \nNCTCOG intends the industry forum to be an interactive event. NCTCOG is holding the forum\nto explore one basic question: Can private sector carpooling solutions scale to a point that\ncarpooling can become a dependable mode of travel throughout the day (and night) and\nthroughout the North Texas region for people who don’t wish to drive or are unable to drive? If\nso\, what kind and level of effort would it take from the region and from private carpooling\nsolution providers to get carpooling to become a dependable and cost-effective mode of travel\nin North Texas? \nRelated issues that NCTCOG would like to explore in the industry forum include the following:\n• Whether carpooling in a region is best done through a single solution or multiple\ncarpooling platforms?\n• Are there carpooling solutions that can be targeted to increase average vehicle\noccupancy on highly congested corridors?\n• What incentives are most effective in building carpooling market share?\n• What are the biggest obstacles to building carpooling market share?\n• What public policies are most effective in building carpooling market share?\n• How can the public sector effectively support private sector carpooling companies in\nbuilding carpooling market share?\n• How can carpooling solutions best serve the mobility needs of low-income and nondriving populations?\n• What data are carpooling providers willing and able to share with NCTCOG through an\nAPI with the TryParkingIt data dashboard or some other means?\n• Can the TryParkingIt rewards program help advance private carpooling solutions and\, if\nso\, how so?\n• What public and private funding sources can be used to support carpooling efforts?\nAt the industry forum NCTCOG will lay out its vision for carpooling in the North Texas region\nand its thoughts on how to best access private sector carpooling solutions. Currently\, NCTCOG\nis considering two approaches for a regionwide carpooling initiative:\n• Approach 1: The first approach would be to use a process to identify private sector\nindustry partners with whom NCTCOG would cooperate on efforts to expand carpooling\nmarket share in North Texas. These efforts might include joint publicity campaigns\,\nconsumer education\, and employer outreach coordination. This approach would not\ninvolve any payments from NCTCOG to carpooling vendors or third parties.\n• Approach 2: The second approach would use a process to identify cost-effective\ncarpooling solutions for which NCTCOG would provide funding to carpooling vendors or\nthird parties like carpoolers themselves\, or both. \nThe industry forum will be open to all interested parties. While all parties are encouraged to\nparticipate\, no one is required to participate. There will be time for short (5 minutes or less)\npresentations by up to five parties on a first come first served basis. Please advise Emily\nBeckham (TransRFPs@nctcog.org) if you would like to make a presentation. Presentations\nshould focus on the basic question outlined above. You may also submit questions and ideas\nfor the forum to Ms. Beckham. An agenda will then be circulated in advance of the industry\nforum to all those who have signed up to participate. You may also submit written materials that\nyou believe are pertinent to the topics covered by the industry forum to Ms. Beckham.\nFollowing the industry forum\, NCTCOG reserves the right to contact participants and hold\nindividual meetings to seek additional information and/or request one or more participants to\nprovide a more detailed presentation. This process is intended to be the mechanism by which \nNCTCOG receives information from the industry on available technologies. It should not be\nconstrued as a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be\nrequired or sought.\nRelevant Dates\nMarch 18\, 2019: Deadline for submitting questions\, suggested forum topics\, and requests to\nmake a presentation at the forum.\nMarch 22\, 2019\, 11 a.m. Central Time: Industry forum. The forum will be scheduled to run for\none hour but may run longer at NCTCOG’s discretion if the discussion warrants such. In no\nevent will the forum run for more than two hours. Please send your RSVP to Emily Beckham\n(TransRFPs@nctcog.org) by 6 p.m. on March 22\, 2019—include participant’s name and\norganization in the email body.\nJoining the Forum\nThere are two ways to join the forum—through Webex and/or conference call.

This past week\, our National Steering Committee met (for the last time before the conference) to share plans for 75+ workshops and other activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are a few quick (and by no means complete) take aways from the discussion: \nAt Rail~Volution 2018\, we’ll definitely be hearing about transit and livability projects from a wide array of locations –  cities like Seattle\, Portland\, and Minneapolis/St Paul with relatively recent build-out of transit systems; cities with deep transit roots (e.g.\, Chicago\, Philly\, Toronto\, & Vancouver); cities embarking on new plans\, such as Tulsa\, Albuquerque\, Oklahoma City; and Atlanta\, New Orleans\, Baltimore\, Honolulu\, and more. \nIf you’re working on BRT or streetcar projects\, there will be workshops for you. But\, at Rail~Volution we encourage you to meet people outside your comfort zone. So\, also look for sessions on microtransit & other new mobility options\, equitable transit-oriented development\, affordable housing\, bike share\, curb management\, financing\, public-private partnerships\, transit system redesign\, way finding & signage\, community engagement\, placemaking\, parking and more. \nAlong with real-world experiences\, there will be policies\, tools\, and tips for and from developers\, advocates\, transit agencies\, planners\, urban designers\, technology providers\, affordable housing leaders\, elected officials\, engineers\, planners\, architects\, and data geeks. \nPittsburgh\, our conference location\, also has a fascinating story to tell. Beautiful neighborhoods and architecture. A robust transportation system with multiple modes (and a very high walk share). An incredible talent for collaboration. A strong commitment to community and climate justice. A wave of new technology energizing a legacy city. Join us! \nDownload the Rail~Volution Pittsburgh Brochure \nHigh resolution (30 MB) \nLow Resolution \n\n\nAccessibility at Rail~Volution  \nThe 2018 Rail~Volution Annual Conference will take place at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown. Located in Pittsburgh’s Central Business District\, also known as the Golden Triangle\, the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh’s modern hotel rooms offer views of the famed three rivers and Pittsburgh’s rejuvenated downtown. This venue was selected to make everyone’s visit as productive and comfortable as possible. If you need additional assistance or have accommodation requests\, please email andreao@railvolution.org at least two weeks prior to the event.

It begins with a community vision in which the entire transportation network – public transit\, private operators\, cycling and walking\, volunteer drivers\, and others – works together with customers\, planners\, and stakeholders to deliver the transportation options that best meet the community’s needs. \nTraditionally\, mobility management has focused on meeting the needs of individuals and groups (e.g.\, people with disabilities\, older adults\, low-income)\, in particular by coordinating and improving human services transportation. However\, when implemented with a systems perspective\, mobility management can move transit agencies away from their roles as fixed-route service operators and toward collaboration with other transportation providers. The idea behind this approach is to create a full range of well integrated mobility services within a community\, that meets the needs of all customers better. \nThis course is designed to help build the capacity of transit professionals to implement and scale up mobility management strategies and initiatives and expose participants to promising practices in the field.  Topics to be addressed include but not limited to: \n\nLeading change in your organization and community\nArticulating a mobility management vision\, goals and desired outcomes\nBuilding connections among integration partners\nTools to assist in partnership development\nMeasuring mobility management success and performance\nProgram and project implementation\nCommunication\, outreach and marketing\n\nAudience: \nMobility management professionals with 1-5 years of experience in transportation or mobility-related field and who play a role in implementing mobility management strategies\, including: public transit agency professionals; 5310 sub-recipients; human services transportation providers; planning organization professionals; Veterans Administration employees; Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) service providers and others. \nLength:  2 days \nCEUs: 1.40 \nFee: \n\n$300.00 for Contractor\, Consulting\, Non-USA Transportation or Government Agency\, Other.\nFree for all others.\n\nContact: \nMyrna Sirleaf\nmsirleaf@nti.rutgers.edu \nSign in will take place between 8:00 and 8:30 am on the first day.

Our panel of experts will delve into how U.S. cities are making infrastructure decisions today in anticipation of a future with automous vehicles (AVs). \nRoundtable Panelists: \n• Mary Wisniewski (moderator)\, Transportation Reporter and Getting Around Columnist\, Chicago Tribune \n• Shannon McDonald\, Associate Professor of Architectural Studies and Interior Design\, Southern Illinois University Carbondale. McDonald will give a broad overview of infrastructure considerations in a future with driverless cars. \n• Matthew Herman\, Associate Principal\, BuroHappold Engineering. Herman will highlight the CAV Design Sprint charettes his firm has hosted all over the world and how a wide range of global cities are thinking about how AVs could fit into their infrastructure. \n• Ben Pierce\, Transportation Technology Program Lead\, HDR. Pierce will speak about considerations for U.S. cities as they plan their infrastructure for a future with AVs. \nThe event will begin promptly at noon. Doors open at 11:45 a.m. Lunch will be served. \nRegister Today \n\nAbout the Series \nDriverless cars—otherwise known as autonomous vehicles—promise increased travel safety\, efficiency and accessibility. But how will this affect economic development\, land use and the environment? How will these vehicles function in highly complex urban areas? How will they impact life in cities where bikes\, buses and pedestrians share the streets? How will they function in a range of contexts including downtown areas\, suburbs and rural areas? What policies will help ensure AVs improve the quality of life for all\, not some? The Metropolitan Planning Council\, the Environmental Law & Policy Center\, and the Shared Use Mobility Center present a series of events to generate discussion and begin to address these questions. \n• The Public Sector’s Role (November 2\, 2017) \n• Envisioning the City of the Future (January 30\, 2018) \n• Shaping Future Infrastructure (April 5\, 2018) \nMPC thanks Wight & Company and HDR\, Inc. for their generous sponsorship of this series.

The On-Ramp program is a technical assistance program aimed at supporting entities that provide public transportation to advance ideas for mobility on demand solutions. The On-Ramp has been developed through a cooperative agreement with the Shared-Use Mobility Center and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). \nThe On-Ramp program builds on two existing initiatives: \n\nThe FTA’s MOD Sandbox Program\, in which supports 11 cities across the country as part of a larger U.S. Department of Transportation research effort to help transit agencies and communities integrate new mobility tools like smart phone apps\, bike-sharing\, car-sharing and demand-responsive bus and van services.\nSUMC’s work on the Innovation and Knowledge Accelerator (IKA)\, created by FTA to facilitate exchange ideas\, discussions of lessons learned and offers of mutual support between MOD Sandbox participants and others interested in implementing shared-mobility programs.\n\nSimilar to the IKA program\, the On-Ramp network will: \n\nFoster innovation in areas such as system integration\, partnerships\, innovative business models and equity-of-service delivery;\nIdentify project-specific challenges and provide technical assistance to improve outcomes of MOD Sandbox projects;\nBuild a shared knowledge-base and accelerate learning on issues that affect the implementation of MOD projects; and\nDevelop resources for use by the wider MOD field.\n\nSUMC operates a clearinghouse that includes the Shared Mobility Toolkit—made up of a Policy Database\, Benefits Calculator and Mapping and Opportunity Analysis tool—that will help guide On-Ramp participants. \n  \n  URL:https://sharedusemobilitycenter.org/event/mobility-on-demand-on-ramp-informational-webinar/ LOCATION:Webinar\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sharedusemobilitycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Chicago-RESIZED.png ORGANIZER;CN="Shared-Use Mobility Center":MAILTO:info@sharedusemobilitycenter.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
