Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization’s Post

The REM is one of the largest automated transportation system projects in North America. There is no doubt that increasing public transit with the aim of reducing car dependency and enhancing local life is a positive thing. So why have there been so many controversies surrounding the REM? In our new video we focus on one of them: the lack of transparency in the governance model behind the project. https://lnkd.in/e85f-rhh 

Knock-in bead, pre-gasketed… do you think that’s what we are about? Sometimes you need to look at a solution, revise it, understand not just today’s requirements, but design for the future! What you have today will not be what you need in the future! We designed a system that delivers tomorrows systems today, no foam, no phaff! Whatever the future throws at us … we’ve got it! It’s not about a knock-in bead .. that’s easy .. it’s about a solution, a system that delivers everything a fabricator needs to deliver a solution!

There’s still time to take Pima Association of Governments’ “Shape Your Transportation Future” survey, which allows community members in the greater Tucson region to share their transportation priorities and experiences, and to tell us what types of transportation improvements should be funded over the next 30 years. Survey results will help in the development of PAG’s 2055 Regional Mobility and Accessibility Plan (RMAP), which allows our region to annually secure millions of dollars in federal funding for essential transportation improvements in the region. Your input matters to us. Learn more and take the survey at PAGregion.com/2055

Quick-build has many advantages to traditional design and build methods of permanent infrastructure. Quick build approaches depend on the goals of a place, corridor, or engagement strategy. I look forward to working closely with my Sam Schwartz colleagues to explore what's possible in ways that seem too daunting for a permanent installation. I know many planners, urban designers, and transportation professionals see real shortfalls in a standard roadway design. We need to allow for re-imagining our roadways, especially those that serve as a multi-purpose, multi-modal, multi-programmable spaces for people and all of our needs. People do a lot of things in public spaces like streets that contribute to a desirable place to exist. As Jeff Speck notes, people are the "indicator species" that demonstrate if a city has streets serving them: People sitting/walking/celebrating, people on bikes, people on scooters, people conducting business, people moving freight, people in cars respecting other people, people exchanging culture, and people behaving socially. We know our streets are platforms for these healthy behaviors and the design can hinder or support such behaviors. Quick-build strategies allow us to test what works to support and unlock our better behaviors. I hope more people take up the challenge. We have a team that brings a lot of lessons learned to apply strategies like a pro. We also can help you win funding to make it happen.

We're all set for the second day of the National Planning Conference in Birmingham. It's the best time to come and chat with us about the future of digital local plans! #NPCUK23 #plantech #digitalplanning #townplanning

We love and want to hear public feedback. We have two public meetings on the Hartford Mobility Study coming up on Nov. 9 and 16 between 6-8 p.m. The study recommends transportation solutions to facilitate economic growth on both sides of the Connecticut River and in the region while improving public safety and expanding mobility choices to all users. The outcome of the study is a multi-modal transportation plan for the region, one which outlines a roadmap for future implementation of the various recommendations. https://lnkd.in/eFC-AnTc

Many #Yemenis face significant challenges in accessing clean water, education, and healthcare services. The #ERRY III Joint Programme, funded by the #EUinYemen and The Embassy of Sweden Amman – Regional Development Cooperation in the Middle East and North Africa, is working alongside local partners to empower communities with solutions. Watch the video and see how small-scale projects are making a big difference. #YemenCantWait https://lnkd.in/dcv4fUt5

I presented to the Pahang State Secretary, along with other state agencies, showcasing the Smart City accreditation criteria and highlighting success stories related to key items on the checklist. These success stories, drawn from successful implementations by TM ONE, demonstrated how meeting these criteria can significantly enhance urban management, improve public services, and promote sustainable development. By sharing these TM ONE success stories, we provided valuable insights into practical implementations and the benefits achieved.

the European Civil Protection Forum was taking place in Brussels on 4-5 June under the theme: “Shaping a disaster-resilient Union: Charting a path for the future of European civil protection.” Our current project, the MODEX Lot 4 exercise series, was represented with the other lots with an information booth. publiComm is a subcontractor supporting the project coordinator, DSU (Department for Emergency Situations, Romania) tasked with the work package 3: Project Support, Services, Dissemination and Visibility. This covers administration and project support, services and purchases, continuous media coverage, dissemination and visibility for the project, and support of the visibility of the UCPM. Harald Maierl-Fellner, MBA, is the CEO of publiComm GmbH, here pictured with the projects Main Trainer, Sean Moore OBE FInSTR : "The rationale for planning and executing exercises like EU MODEX EUCPT-TAST is to prepare staffs, teams and modules for operations.” #EUMODEX #EUCPT-TAST #EUCivPro #CivProKnowNet #StrongerTogether
