Tuesday 8CAIT Seminar Series: Celebrating International Women’s Day by Showcasing Latest Transportation Research & Equity Achievements
11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
The way that we think about and use transportation as it exists today has been shaped by innovative women leaders throughout history. They have contributed greatly to the safety of all modes of travel, efficiency of our transportation systems, and the development of new technology that drives transportation into the future. As the Region 2 USDOT University Transportation Center, Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) tackles some of the country’s most pressing infrastructure challenges, especially those that are endemic in high-volume multimodal corridors such as the Northeast. Many of these transportation challenges and initiatives, from evolving freight planning to meet modern needs to better incorporating diversity in organizations and building more resilient infrastructure, are led by women researchers. On International Women’s Day, CAIT is taking the time to recognize some of these women leaders in transportation research, and their recent work. In this complimentary seminar, you will hear from: Ms. Anne Strauss-Wieder, Director, Freight Planning, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA); Dr. Melissa Tooley, Director of External Initiatives, Texas A&M Transportation Institute; Dr. Maria Garlock, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Co-Director of the Program in Architecture and Engineering, Princeton University.

Conference Overview and Scope
The Sustainability and Emerging Transportation Technology (SETT) Conference is being rescheduled for March 15-18 2022.
The focus of the conference remains on investigating solutions for shaping rapidly advancing transportation technologies (e.g., connected and automated vehicles) and new approaches to mobility (e.g., shared services) in ways that will benefit all users of the transportation systems. The SETT 2022 conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to discuss and debate the intersection of sustainability and emerging transportation technologies with the focus on solutions. As these terms are often used quite broadly, we define them here.
* Sustainability takes a holistic view of the “triple-bottom-line”, such as environmental, economic, and social factors. Technology should not create more problems than it solves, particularly with regards to social equity (i.e., accessibility, inclusiveness, safety, and security), economic efficiency (i.e., cost-effective and within people’s ability and willingness to pay) or environmental stewardship (i.e., reduced carbon pollution, and improved water and air quality).
* Emerging transportation technologies are those in early stages of adoption, deployed as “pilots,” or expected to come to market in the near-term. Examples include new mobility services (e.g., ridesharing, e-scooters), digital technologies (e.g., ridehailing apps, dynamic pricing, shared data exchanges, and payment platforms), connected and automated vehicles, transportation electrification, and autonomous goods delivery services (e.g., rolling robots, drones).

The BIL specifically mentions project bundling and bridge bundling as alternative contracting methods for enhanced program delivery and encourages agencies to establish clear procedures for these methods so the known benefits might be more consistently realized.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) would like to help State and local transportation agencies make bundling a routine process for saving time, money, and resources, especially as additional funds from the BIL are rolled out. States may create bundled projects with local agencies, and local agencies may bundle projects with other local agencies.

WEBINAR: Building Bridges of Trust: An Approach to Cultural Transformation
2022-03-17 22:00
The National Transportation Training Directors is offering free Webinar on March 17th (noon ET) with leaders at the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA/PATCO) who will share their experience and techniques in addressing low morale and trust, both internally and among external stakeholders, at a time when the organization was engaged in several large, mission-critical projects. They turned to lessons based on the principles of comedy improvisation, such as deep listening, empathy, and collaborative trust. Using a new strategic plan combining the tenets of servant-leadership and the tools of improvisational comedy, DRPA transformed its culture and produced award-winning projects. The skill of improvisation is increasingly valued by top executives today because they see in it a tool that enables their companies to be more nimble, flexible, and responsive. Join CEO John Hanson, Director of Strategic Initiatives Christina Maroney, and improvisor Nick Gillette to learn how introducing these essential skills changed the company from the top down.

Lunchtime Tech Talk! WEBINAR: Goodluck Point Beneficial Use of Dredged Material via Nearshore Placement and Shark River Sediment Transport Model
2022-03-24 16:00 - 17:15
Join the NJDOT Bureau of Research and attend our next Lunchtime Tech Talk! – a webinar featuring Maritime Transportation Research.
Nearshore placement of dredged sediment is a Natural and Nature-Based Features strategy with the dual benefits of providing ecosystem enhancement and reduction of coastal flooding while at the same time providing a viable, cost-effective long-term beneficial use option for disposal of dredged materials. But, improper placement of dredged materials can damage habitat or wash away, providing little or no benefit. Strategic placement requires knowledge of site conditions and sediment transport behavior to provide ecosystem enhancement and resiliency. The researchers will present preliminary findings for a nearshore sediment placement project at Goodluck Point in Berkeley Township, New Jersey.
To support ongoing efforts to effectively manage the New Jersey Maritime Transportation System (MTS), the researchers are also customizing a Delft3D morphological model to improve estimation of channel shoaling for the state’s navigable waterways. Successful deployment of this model for the Shark River will facilitate expansion to the entire New Jersey MTS and support NJDOT’s efforts to improve navigability and facilitate operations and maintenance of the maritime network.
Presentations will be given by:
Daniel Barone, Ph.D., Associate Research Professor, Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) & Department of Geography, Rutgers University
Robert Miskewitz, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University

Title: Transit-Induced Gentrification or Vice Versa? A Study of Neighborhoods Around Light Rail Stations From 1970–2010
Presenter: Dr Jyothi Chava is the research scholar in equitable transit and TOD planning. Her research focus is evaluating and incorporating equity related aspects in public transport planning and sustainable transportation planning with emphasis on non-motorized transportation, transit and transit-oriented developments. She is currently working as a senior Data scientist in Anthem. Previously, she worked as a project scientist and transportation planner at Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bengaluru, Innovative Transportation Solutions (iTrans – an incubation unit of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi) and Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme (TRIPP), IIT Delhi.

Abstract: In the 1990s, some cities across the United States invested significantly in expanding light rail transit (LRT) systems. As a result, transit-oriented development (TOD) near new stations became a desirable planning goal for local governments and lucrative to developers. In this study we examined evidence of gentrification in all LRT station areas before and after the opening of these new stations. We also tested the prevalence of gentrification in station areas specifically characterized as TODs. Longitudinal data across seven regions, from 1970 to 2010, demonstrated signs of gentrification in proximity to new stations compared with control areas. By 2000, the share of the White population grew near LRT stations, whereas the percentage of Black residents remained flat. From 1990 to 2010, we found signs of gentrification based on both demographic and economic indicators, including low-income populations. We also tested the relationship among built environment variables and a gentrification index, which revealed a positive correlation with walkability, density, and diversity variables. Our study did not include data to compare the differences in effectiveness between market-rate versus affordable housing, which should be part of future research.
Title: Transit-Induced Gentrification and displacement: The state of the debate
Presenter: Dr. Elizabeth Delmelle is an associate professor of geography at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where she researches neighborhood dynamics, urban transportation, and the interaction between the two. She and her colleagues recently completed an NSF-sponsored project that investigated the link between new rail investments and neighborhood changes from a multi-scalar and mixed-methods perspective. She currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Transport Geography and for the 2021-2022 academic year is a visiting scholar at the University of Amsterdam in the Department of Geography, Planning, and International Development.
Abstract: Investments in new transportation infrastructure hold the potential to transform the urban socioeconomic landscape by reshaping accessibility and by encouraging new developments around these investments. This chapter outlines the theoretical arguments for why and how transport, specifically rail transit, is expected to impact the socioeconomic composition of neighborhoods and reviews the relevant empirical literature on the subject. Neighborhood socioeconomic change, including gentrification, can be viewed as the product of shifts in residential sorting of residents reacting to the placement of a new (transit) amenity which may place increased demand for living in a particular area. This demand may place an upward pressure on nearby housing values and rents, affecting the socioeconomic composition of those willing and able to afford these price premiums, thus spurring or accelerating gentrification. Rising land values may also lead to the disproportionate exit of lower-income residents unable to keep up with elevated rents or property taxes. To date, the empirical evidence on the link between transport investments and gentrification has mixed findings, very often underscoring the importance of local context in directing a neighborhood’s path. Research has overwhelmingly centered on aggregate neighborhood changes, but several studies have recently emerged that center on individual movements that give rise to these neighborhood-scale outcomes.

This webinar is hosted by FHWA in cooperation with the National Local Technical Assistance Program Association (NLTAPA) and the National Center for Rural Road Safety.
Roadside safety hardware is a proven safety countermeasure for when vehicles physically leave the roadway. Hardware, such as barriers, sign supports, and work zone devices are commonly used to reduce the potential severity of crashes on the roadside. Knowing how, when and where to install roadside hardware can be a challenge for transportation agencies. Furthermore, maintenance and replacement of installed hardware with newer more advanced hardware adds to the challenge.

Achieving the vision of eliminating deaths and serious injuries from our Nation’s roads may seem daunting since traffic fatalities in the United States have been on the rise in recent years. To make meaningful progress, a new paradigm is needed in the way we think about the traffic safety problem. The Safe System approach is a recognized international road safety best practice that is rapidly gaining awareness and application in the United States. It is an approach centered around creating a road system that accommodates inevitable human mistakes with a focus on avoiding severe outcomes. Creating a Safe System requires strengthening all the elements within the system and leveraging collaborative partnerships.
In this webinar you will learn about the six foundational principles of the Safe System approach and the five elements of the system that must work together to achieve the vision of zero roadway deaths. This session will explain the important distinctions that make a Safe System approach different from traditional approaches to road safety

Although there is no singular design prescription for a Complete Street, a Complete Street is safe, and feels safe, for everyone using the street. Complete Streets are designed and operated to respond to the needs and context of the community it serves, especially vulnerable road users and historically underserved communities.
In this webinar, you will learn how to leverage the Safe System approach principles to advance the parallel goals and efforts for building Complete Streets and promote safe, affordable, accessible, and multi-modal access to opportunities and services while reducing disparities and adverse community impacts.

Under a Safe System approach, reaching the zero goal requires managing the circumstances of crashes such that the kinetic energy forces imposed on the human body do not result in death or serious injury. At an intersection, this is accomplished by influencing conflict points, speed, and crash angles, and considering exposure and complexity. Intersection projects are opportunities to explore how to apply Safe System principles to the project development planning and design decisions in support of reaching the zero goal, as well as a performance-based approach to safety.
The Safe System assessment of an intersection can serve as an additional metric to inform alternatives analysis and identify an optimal solution for an intersection. The SSI method uses data that are typically available early in a project development lifecycle. In this webinar, you will learn about the SSI framework and explore the potential to apply the methodology within the decision-making process for intersection projects.
In this webinar, you will learn how to leverage the Safe System approach principles to advance the parallel goals and efforts for building Complete Streets and promote safe, affordable, accessible, and multi-modal access to opportunities and services while reducing disparities and adverse community impacts.

Project Bundling: Construction and Contract Considerations
2022-05-17 18:00 - 19:00

May 19, 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
There is no single pathway toward achieving a Safe System and there is no recipe for implementation. Achieving a Safe System is a complex journey that requires strengthening all elements in the system by numerous stakeholders. Stakeholders across the transportation community are already acting to advance the Safe System approach by making decisions guided by the underlying Safe System principles.
In this webinar, you will learn about strategies that state and local transportation agencies are implementing to advance the Safe System approach with focus on the Safe Roads and Safe Speed elements. The strategies are presented as a “playbook” intended to assist agencies by providing ideas and potential practices for Safe System implementation. Similar with a playbook for a football team, it is not necessary to run every play to achieve your winning objective. Also, selecting appropriate “plays” to run will depend on where your agency is located “on the field”.

Commercial Motor Vehicles and Crowdsourced Data
2022-05-19 17:00 - 18:30
New Jersey and Colorado DOTs are using crowdsourced data and private sector partnerships to deliver real-time information to commercial vehicles and improve the safety of all road users. Because commercial vehicles have far greater stopping distances, unexpected slowdowns on roadways pose a significant safety threat, particularly at the back of queues. Transportation agencies can now deliver in-cab alerts about road conditions through connected truck service providers to help commercial vehicle drivers approach and react more quickly to roadway incidents, work zones, and adverse weather conditions.
Register for the upcoming Crowdsourced Data for Commercial Vehicles webinar https://events-na13.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/2334344376/en/events/event/shared/2386551631/event_registration.html?sco-id=9589205737&_charset_=utf-8 to learn how New Jersey and the Colorado Departments of Transportation are improving roadway safety through in-cab alerts and broader truck information (e.g., parking or inspection).
This webinar is a part of the Adventures in Crowdsourcing webinar series https://transportationops.org/edc5/adventures-crowdsourcing-webinar-series sponsored by FHWA Every Day Counts Round Six (EDC-6) Crowdsourcing for Advancing Operations Program https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/innovation/everydaycounts/edc_6/crowdsourcing.cfm .
