SUMMARY:TransportationCamp LA 2024
DESCRIPTION:TransportationCamp LA is an open venue for sharing and learning about the region’s transportation issues and successes. TransportationCamp LA aims to be an open\, forward-thinking event that brings together people of all facets of the transportation world. \nTransportationCamp is not a formal conference — rather\, as an unconference\, it is driven entirely by attendees’ interests and experiences. At TransportationCamp\, there is no set agenda prior to the event. Sessions are determined at the beginning of the day and are drawn from proposals and ideas that attendees submit. A session can be any format: a presentation\, an open discussion\, a demonstration\, a panel\, or even a group exercise or game. \nTransportationCamp covers urban transportation issues in all their forms\, including economic\, social\, public health\, and environmental impacts. Session topics in the 2019 TransportationCamp LA ranged from “Congestion Pricing & Increasing Transit Ridership\,” to “Mobility with Kids Under 5\,” to “Latest Buzz from Cycle-friendly Cities” and change every year to reflect the latest research and questions of the moment. \nHave thoughts on mobility and access for carless households in LA\, or battery replacement and disposal strategies for transit agencies? Get your own session started here just with an oversized Post-It note. \nThis event is open to advocates\, professionals\, community members\, and everyone passionate about mobility in Los Angeles and Southern California. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Ciclovía at 50: Changing Street Cultures Across the World
DESCRIPTION:A Mini-Symposium from UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies \nDecember 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the ciclovía in Bogotá\, Colombia\, the original “open streets” event. Ciclovías close streets to cars and open them to people-powered mobility\, creating what co-founder Jaime Ortíz Mariño calls the “world’s largest outdoor classroom.” The ciclovía covers over 75 miles every Sunday in Bogotá\, and has spread to over 450 cities around the world. In this online event\, we will hear from organizers in different cities about what the model has meant for their street cultures. Scholars will share their research on the event and its participants. Experts from the fields of public health and transportation will talk about the challenges and opportunities in funding non-infrastructure programming like this. Explore what cities around the globe have learned from the model\, its role as a catalyst in changing street cultures in particular cities\, and how ciclovías can help shift people to sustainable transportation. \nPart 1: Telling the Story (75 minutes)\nIn the first half of the mini-symposium\, we’ll focus on telling the story. A moderated discussion with ciclovía creators will reflect on the goals of open streets models and how ciclovías have changed transportation culture in specific cities. Following this\, there will be mini lectures from scholars who have studied ciclovías and similar events in different national contexts. \nPart 2: Learning Together (75 minutes)\nThe second half of the mini-symposium will consist of a workshop where participants will choose breakout rooms and join a facilitated discussion. \nREGISTER HERE
