We had a great day at Mobility Camp at Sheffield! It was great to see some familiar faces and learn more about how we can become agents for change and improve the communities we live and work in
The final session of mobility camp focused on public consultations. How do we make sure they are representative of all stakeholders and not just the loud minority? It was great to hear some different techniques used and the impact they can have
The second session of the day at mobility camp focused on women's safety. What issues are there and how can we help? A key takeaway was the importance of being an active bystander and not waiting for somebody else to act
The first session at mobility camp led to some great discussions about how patronage could be improved on buses and trams in South Yorkshire. It was great to hear different ideas and views from attendees from different authorities and backgrounds
Today we're at Mobility Camp in Sheffield. The day has been off to a great start with a walking tour and a giant game of rock paper scissors! We can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds
We are all setup and having some great conversations at @Assoc_MPOs in Sacramento. Come over and say hi.

A bus stop might look close on a map. But can you actually walk to it?
Using @OrdnanceSurvey data and TRACC, we compared crow-fly access with real walking routes, then added pavements and street lighting.
The difference is striking.

This afternoon's session at @Assoc_MPOs focused on the data provided through the Census Transportation Planning Product (CTPP) and how it can be used to inform transport projects throughout the country
At the second session at @Assoc_MPOs today we brainstormed some ideas to improve Nicholasville Road in Lexington
From BRT, changing land uses and prioritisation at signals, it was great to hear all the different ideas, and make use of some Lego!
On the final day of @Assoc_MPOs we started the day learning about the data available through the Bureau of Transportation Statistics
It was great to see the data they have compiled and are making accessible to MPOs
The final session of Day 2 at @Assoc_MPOs highlighted the importance of school safety. Using the example of an elementary school we came up with ideas on how to improve safety and reduce conflict between cars, buses and pedestrians
The Prairieville interactive network design game at @Assoc_MPOs gave us a fun chance to create a new bus network for the fictional area of Prairieville, complete with coloured string and sticky notes! It was great to experience balancing different priorities and see alternatives
The latest session at @Assoc_MPOs focused on making use of traffic count data to help identify poor data and trends over time
We also looked at a proposed high speed rail line in Texas and how data was used to highlight it's benefits
Session one of today gave us a great chance to see how Oregon Metro have used crash data to build new tools in their goal to reach zero fatal road injuries
Some great discussions highlighting the variation in data availability and how it is being used in different areas
We're back at @Assoc_MPOs Planning Tools and Training Symposium for day 2! Come round and say hi and learn more about how our tools can help you get the accessibility data you need
At the second session at @Assoc_MPOs gave us a chance to test out an active travel corridor prioritization tool. It was great to see how data can be compiled to rank corridors and understand how data from our tools could be used as inputs
It was great to join in with the Designing Better Maps and Geospatial Apps session at @Assoc_MPOs where we aimed to solve the problem of data silos within development planning processes with the creation of a new web app
