The Upstate Transportation Forum is history. We hoped to register 75 and 103 people came. Presentations are published!

Picture
Successful mobility management is essential for New York's economy, environment and communities to become more sustainable. This is hard, in the trenches, work, requiring successful coalition building, inter-relationships, mutual support and resources. Mobility managers need to share ideas, problems, solutions, and customer-focused strategies. 

103 people attended, a broad spectrum of participants interested in developing sustainable mobility in Upstate NY communities.  The target market included transportation operators, community development agencies, planners, mobility managers, community organizers, academia, local and state elected officials, large employers, entrepreneurs, local and State agencies, and sustainability advocates. 

Links to Presentations are listed below!!

Mobility Managers Meet
Eighteen people came to the mobility managers meeting on Sept 22 to share issues and solutions in the first session of the  Forum.  The session was created by the group.  Participants volunteered three questions for discussion & resolution every 15-20 minutes. The group shared ideas for answers. The cycle repeated. We resolved to meet at the NYPTA Conference in Nov. 2011.  Interest was expressed in creating a statewide network of mobility managers to engage State policy makers and other partners.

More about the Transportation Forum….

The Forum will explore examples from Tompkins County and across Upstate New York to inspire your next partnership. Over the span of two days a variety of topics will be covered at the forum including carsharing, active transportation, new technologies, partnering with big business, and using local talent and resources. You will also have the opportunity to extend your stay in Ithaca by adding a Friday afternoon field-trip to your conference package.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
We are excited to have Susan Zielinksi, the Managing Director of SMART (Sustainable Mobility & Accessibility Research & Transformation) as our keynote luncheon speaker. Susan comes to us from Ann Arbor Michigan where she spent a year as a Harvard Loeb Fellow focusing on New Mobility innovation and leadership. Prior to 2004, she cofounded and directed Moving the Economy (MTE), a Canada-wide “link tank” that works to catalyze and support sustainable urban transportation innovation as well as New Mobility industry development. She has advised on a wide range of local, national, and international transportation efforts. As a transportation planner for the City of Toronto for over 15 years, she worked developing and leading transportation and livability policies and initiatives.

Popcorn Session Notes

9/22/2011 4:15pm – 5:00pm   Popcorn Session at Cinemapolis – Enjoy some popcorn while discussing key concerns and challenges during a moderated open dialogue

The popcorn session was held in Cinemapolis's largest theater as the afternoon was winding down. After a full day of concurrent sessions, we wanted to offer an open session to hear feedback and discuss issues and concerns from the participants. Of course, there was plenty of popcorn too.

The discussion was captured and organized (mind mapped)  using MindManager software. The empty box in the center of the image below was a graphic of "Ideas", (which was not displayed when the file was saved in this format. 

The questions and statements were generated by the participants.
