inStrUCtor:
Ryan has recently returned to his position as the Manager of the Smart Commute program at Metrolinx after having successfully completed a Master’s degree in Sustainable Business Leadership at Sweden’s prestigious Lund University. Housed within the Economics school, the degree provides an interdisciplinary approach to teach current and future business leaders how to introduce and effectively integrate sustainability into corporate business and culture.
Angela is an experienced speaker, trainer and facilitator of meetings and workshops with a background in human geography and education, including adult learning. She is one of the developers and trainer of the “Kickstand sessions”. Angela has initiated train-the-trainers for cycle training in the Netherlands and a train-the-trainer for ‘public transport ambassadors’. Her challenge is to find the right angle to link what is already known to new knowledge and skills and offering the right balance between theory and practical exercises.
Course Description
Course Description
Many of us have experience in changing commuter behaviour, but do we know how to change an organization? It’s a frustrating and complex process that involves many stakeholders, and can often lead to confusion and disagreement – keeping things at the status quo. But a carefully planned process to lead the transformation of an organization can break this cycle and yield remarkable results. And you don’t have to be the CEO to make it happen. This interactive session will walk through the various stages of leading change within your workplace, municipality or other organization to make it a place where TDM is a regular part of doing business.
Learn how Dutch and Danish bicycle experts are delivering an innovative new professional training program called “The Kickstand Sessions”. Focused on sharing knowledge in bicycle policy, planning, marketing and culture, the sessions provide valuable inspiration for North American solutions. More than providing an introduction to the very best in bicycle best practices, Kickstand trainers deliver customized training sessions and coach participants on how to create the local conditions that permit people of all ages, abilities, genders and ethnicities to bicycle more often. Launched in early 2012, the Kickstand Training Sessions are taking place in cities across North America in 2012-2013.

Learn the tools and techniques that will allow you to be an effective change agent from initiating a new idea, passing the tipping point and embedding the change into corporate culture for long-lasting results.
Spend a few hours in this PD session to see if providing a full two-day Kickstand Session is right for your community. Learn how the Kickstand Session can be the much needed catalyst to moving cycling forward in a collaborative, inclusive approach.

Pedestrian and Cycling Infrastructure Tour of Hamilton MODE:
Bike and Walking
TOUR LEADER: Darryl
Bender. Project Manager, Active Transportation, City of Hamilton & Sharon Mackinnon, Public Health Nurse- Healthy Living, City Of Hamilton
This tour includes a bike rental and will take participants on a tour of downtown Hamilton and West Hamilton’s pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Starting downtown, while pointing out historical points of interest, we will travel to Gore Park which is currently undergoing a pedestrianization pilot. The successful pilot project involved the BIA, concerned citizens, and City staff and incorporated plans for Rapid Transit and the cycling network. From there, we will tour James Street North, Hamilton’s newest burgeoning arts district, once an economically depressed area with a busy one-way street, and now a cultural success story, boasting a more pedestrian-friendly two-way street network, as well as slower travel speeds. This street will lead our tour to the very popular Hamilton waterfront trail and the site of a future GO Transit rail station. Along the trail, we will tour active transportation counting units, innovative pavement treatments for cycling and walking lanes and connections to on-street infrastructure including bike boxes, bike sensors and bike corrals. From there we will continue to the West end to tour a variety of new onstreet cycling infrastructure from the 403 bridge to McMaster University and then beyond to a cycle superhighway that connects the West end to the downtown.
Along the way we will tour secure bike parking facilities, cycling signage, on-street bike parking, and land-use considerations for active transportation. While on the tour, we will stop in the quaint Westdale Village for a sustainable cup of coffee, tour one of the few GO Transit stations in the GTHA that has limited parking provisions, view a pedestrian friendly, multi-modal bus terminal, discuss the issues with major one-way thoroughfare and how to better accommodate people, tour one of Hamilton’s first Complete Streets projects, stop by the Hamilton Farmer’s market retrofit and get a feel for what cycling in this accredited “silver” cycling community is all about. PBSC is proudly providing BIXI bikes for this tour. BIXI bikes are unique and have been created specifically for bike share. With low centre of gravity and heavy duty tires for the urban jungle, BIXI bikes are really easy and safe to ride. The adaptable seat post marked with a numbered scale enables various sized users to ride comfortably. A sleek luggage carrier that is able to transport various luggage is also very useful. Participants will surely enjoy riding BIXI bikes in the streets of Hamilton!

Mini bus and walking
Peter Topalovic, Project Manager – Transportation Demand Management, Program Manager – Smart Commute Hamilton, Mobility Programs and Special Projects, City of Hamilton & Justin Readman, Manager, Rapid Transit, Mobility Programs and Special Projects, City of Hamilton
TOUR LEADER:
This tour involves transportation in a mini-bus and covers a substantial portion of the City of Hamilton and three of its boroughs, or communities-within-communities of Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek. Key points of interest and stops include: two waterfalls; new cycling infrastructure; proposed rapid transit infrastructure and how to accommodate multiple modes at stations; GO stations; McMaster University campus and some of its TDM provisions; Mohawk College and its new transit terminal; various secure bike parking examples; Hamilton CarShare parking sites; new cycling connections between various areas of the city and some of their innovative features; new developments and their TDM considerations
including a condominium development, and a retrofit of a heritage building; and much more. Hamilton is perhaps best viewed from atop the Niagara Escarpment. This tour includes a stop at one of Hamilton’s best viewpoints which will provide participants with a better understanding of how Hamilton’s geography impacts the sustainable mobility of its residents both positively and negatively. It also provides a great starting point for discussions on urban planning and how certain planning strategies can directly impact the need for and success of Transportation Demand Management.

Dr. Nick Southgate, Chief Consultant at Nick Southgate Planning & Research Behavioural Economics, UK Sustainable travel – whether it’s to reduce single occupant vehicle use, increase transit ridership, increase physical activity through the use of active travel modes it all comes down to behaviour change. ACT Canada is delighted to have one of the foremost experts in the world, Nick Southgate, join us as our opening keynote speaker.
Nick Southgate is one of the leading practitioners in the emerging field of applied behaviour change. He looks to use the insights and understanding being gained in behavioural sciences in combination with the creative and communication expertise of a marketer and advertising thinker.
persuade people that human insight should be an essential part of any project. Including this thinking makes having better ideas easier and increases the chance of success. The hope is to design decisions that help people make the right decisions with less effort and more confidence. He is also a keen advocate of public transport, a lapsed cyclist, refuses to get in a cab if there’s any chance of a bus from the airport and is a very reluctant holder of a full-clean driving license. Last year he crossed the USA first from East to West by train and then back West to East by car. He enjoyed the first leg much more.
Nick is currently the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising’s Behavioural Economics Consultant. This role was created to embed the insights of Behavioural Economics in the UK advertising industry and to complement then IPA President Rory Sutherland’s agenda for the industry.
Before working in advertising Nick obtained a PhD in Philosophy at Durham University. He continues an interest in philosophy by teaching at The School of Life, the educational institution founded by Alain De Botton. There he teaches ‘How To Find A Job You Love’, ‘How To Balance Work With Life’, ‘How To Make Better Decisions’ and ‘How To Be Cool’. The last class has become an international sensation with coverage in The Toronto Globe & Mail, Brazil, Belgium and Germany as well as Elle, Grazia, The Sunday Express and Monocle. Nick regularly contributed to the School’s ‘Life Class’ column in The Evening Standard until its demise in 2011.
In this role Nick edited three IPA publications on Behavioural Economics, ran training events for IPA Members, developed the IPA’s Behavioural Economics Energizer, ran workshops for the UK Cabinet Office at 10 Downing Street, prepared the IPA’s submissions of evidence to the House of Lords Enquiry in to Behaviour Change including a specific submission on Transport issues and helped establish the IPA’s Fast Track Behavioural Sciences Course with Prof. Nick Chater at Warwick Business School. Outside of the IPA Nick has worked on Behavioural Projects with Boots, Kraft, GSK, Aegon, The City of London, Hiscox, Drinkaware, The Alcohol Academy and others. He has also run training sessions for clients, advertising agencies, and market research agencies and collaborates with #ogilvychange, the first dedicated behaviour change unit within a global advertising agency. He chaired the Market Research Society’s Conference Session on Behavioural Economics in 2011 for which he was nominated for Best Contribution to Conference and chaired interviews between Rory Sutherland and two of Behavioural Economics founding fathers, Prof Daniel Kahneman (2002 Nobel Winner) and Prof Richard Thaler, author of Nudge.
He has worked at advertising agencies Ogilvy & Mather, Cogent Elliott, dfgw and Grey. He has been independent since 2009. His previous clients include the BBC, Unilever, Kerrygold Butter, Expedia, HMRC, cahoot, Horlicks, Sensodyne, Toshiba, Eagle Star, Arriva Buses, East Midland Trains, The London Development Agency, London Green Homes, Sprite, Lucozade and many more. Nick is a longstanding judge on the Market Research Society Excellence Awards and in 2012 an Industry Judge on the internationally respected IPA Effectiveness Awards. He publishes regularly in trade journals including Research, Market Leader and The International Journal of Market Research. He also writes regularly on adventures in modern music for The Wire.
Nick is an experienced speaker and trainer. He is used to imparting complex ideas so that people can instantly grasp them, and more importantly, apply them. His mission is to

Wednesday - Lunch keynote
Edward D. Reiskin
Jessica Herrera
Director of Transportation, SFMTA Municipal Transportation Agency, City and County of San Francisco
Transportation Program Manager, Facebook
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), development projects being proposed must undergo environmental review. Currently, the primary way that a project’s environmental effects on the transportation system are determined is by using a measure called Automobile Level of Service (LOS), which measures automobile delay at certain intersections or roadway segments. As a result, the environmental mitigations proposed to offset impacts identified using LOS are focused on improving automobile throughput. This is often not feasible in a dense, urban environment such as San Francisco. Oftentimes these mitigations are also in contradiction to the City’s Transit First and other multimodal policies and priorities.
Jessica joined Facebook in April 2010 where she oversees the company’s transportation demand management programs. Along with the company’s ongoing growth she has been able to increase the alternative mode use amongst employees by incorporating diverse options including localized shuttle routes, vanpools, and ride matching. Most recently her focus has been on cycling amenities for the company’s new campus and bicycle route improvements in neighboring areas. Jessica is dedicated to expanding the alternate mode use through company outreach, education, and continued expansion of transportation programs.
The Transit First policy recognizes the need to support all modes of transportation - like cars, buses, bikes and walking - to safely and effectively move people and things around the City. By eliminating Level of Service and replacing it with a measure that takes all modes of transportation into consideration, the environmental review can accurately assess how a new development project affects the entire transportation system and can result in mitigations that support the entire transportation system, including transit, bikes, and pedestrians. In July 2011, Edward D. Reiskin was named the Director of Transportation of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). In this role, Mr. Reiskin oversees the Municipal Railway (Muni), parking, traffic engineering, pedestrian planning, bicycle implementation, accessibility and taxi regulation. Muni is one of the oldest public transit agencies in America and the largest in the Bay Area, currently carrying over 200 million riders per year and 700,000 a day.

Lorenzo Mele, ACT Canada Board Chair
ACT CANADA MEMBER REPRESENTATION:
Gleave, Terri Lynam, Head of Marketing Communications (TDM), London 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority, Transport for London
John Hill, Region of
Waterloo
This interactive workshop will explore the ways in which social media can be used to influence how people travel and provide delegates with an opportunity to share their experiences. It will draw on the use of social media during the London 2012 Games to provide delegates with ideas on how they could make more use of this media in devising their transport solutions. It will reveal how agencies can learn much from what is being said through social media channels to help inform the delivery of their transport infrastructure/services and the ways in which the travelling public are most effectively communicated with so as to influence behaviours.
ACT Canada is changing and we need your input. Explore what Sustainable Mobility means to you, to the profession and establish priorities that will set the stage for new research, projects and innovations designed to help you better do your job. This interactive session will begin with an update and status on ACT Canada’s recent strategic planning review.

Sustainable mobility requires an integrated suite of safe, convenient and accessible travel options, a mixed-use built environment, and a supportive framework of policies and programs. It improves transportation choice, balances supply and demand, limits environmental impacts, creates economic opportunities, and fosters partnerships among government, business and the public. Today’s communities face a number of significant challenges that affect their quality of life, and sustainable mobility strategies can help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, boost physical activity, improve air quality, preserve greenspace, reduce congestion and increase access to opportunity. The Sustainable Mobility Summit 2012 is an opportunity for international experts and participants to exchange ideas, share experiences and enhance cooperation. We hope the assembled speakers and Summit program will help you to realize the potential of sustainable mobility actions and strategies. Help us shape urban travel choices.

City of Ottawa
BA Group, Urban Transportation Planning Specialists BA Group is a Canadian Company that creates thoughtful, sustainable plans for the movement of people and goods in urban environments. We solve challenging pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and automobile transportation problems by applying our expert knowledge and utmost care in planning, design and collaboration with other professionals. We believe that planning in support of the safe and efficient movement of people and goods creates better, more successful urban environments.
The City of Ottawa is pleased to be a sponsor of the Sustainable Mobility Summit 2012. Through its TDM program and supported by ongoing infrastructure investments, the City of Ottawa helps residents and commuters in the National Capital Region use sustainable travel modes. A key goal is to minimize peak hour automobile travel and reduce the need for new or wider roads. Since amalgamation, the City of Ottawa has implemented a variety of TDM initiatives that involve partnerships with other governments, the private sector, public institutions, nongovernmental organizations and community groups. In 2012, the City approved its first formal TDM Strategy which presents a strategic framework based on four long-term goals, as well as a three-year action plan. The goals address employee commuting and business travel; communication and promotion; community partnerships; and internal linkages. Individual actions include improving and promoting employee travel options; developing a strategic communication framework; providing travel tools and information; conducting events and recognizing success; engaging workplaces, schools, and neighbourhoods; enhancing community services; and supporting other City initiatives. A performance measurement framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the TDM program over time is also part of the Strategy. The City’s TDM program will complement Ottawa’s significant ongoing investments in the Ottawa Light Rail project and the Ottawa on the Move capital program. Upcoming updates to the City’s Transportation Master Plan, Pedestrian Plan, and Cycling Plan will reinforce linkages between TDM and other City programs supporting a mode shift to more sustainable forms of transportation.

Region of Peel
Region of Waterloo
The Region of Peel has a strategic goal to protect, enhance and restore the environment, as well as mange the impacts of growth on the community and Regional services. One important element to achieve this goal is to develop and promote a sustainable, safe, efficient, and integrated multi-modal transportation system. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) initiatives developed by Peel Region play a key role in encouraging employees and residents to choose sustainable modes of transportation. Our Five-Year TDM Business Plan outlines clear directions on how to implement and advance our efforts in the Region of Peel. These efforts also include Active Transportation, a comprehensive program that engages the community to participate in any form of human-powered transportation such as walking and cycling. To build awareness, Peel Region has recently launched our active transportation website: www. walkandrollpeel.ca. Please visit our website to learn more about our active transportation initiative. As a founding partner in the Smart Commute initiative, the Region of Peel recognizes that promoting sustainable modes of transportation is critical to managing the demand created by commuters travelling all over the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area (GTHA). To successfully manage the ever increasing transportation demands facing the GTHA, the Region believes it is essential to work with stakeholders from both the private and public sectors. We are proud to support the 2012 TDM conference, as it provides an excellent opportunity to engage our stakeholders.
Waterloo Region continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in Canada with an expected population growth from 564,000 now to 729,000 by 2031. In 2010, Regional Council approved two important plans that are shaping the future of this community: the Regional Official Plan (ROP) and the Regional Transportation Master Plan (RTMP). The ROP contains the planning policies needed to direct growth and change in Waterloo Region over the next 20 years. The RTMP defines the ways our transportation systems will grow and change until 2031. A central feature of both plans is the implementation of Adapted Bus Rapid Transit between Kitchener and Cambridge by 2014 and Light Rail Transit between Waterloo and Kitchener in 2017, which will be enhanced by a growing network of express buses, cycling paths and walking routes, to move people and shape our community. The Region is now focussing on several other key initiatives to encourage sustainable mobility: the development of Walk/Cycle Waterloo Region, an Active Transportation Master Plan that will help make cycling and walking a real choice for transportation in Waterloo Region; planning for King/Victoria Transit Hub that will integrate rapid transit with conventional transit, intercity transit and active transportation; and the launch of the TravelWise Transportation Management Association in 2012 to provide local employers with Transportation Demand Management techniques that encourage their employees to use active transportation to get to work.
