WELCOME

THANK YOU to these individuals and all conference volunteers for your hard work!

On behalf of the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) and the Hamilton Section of ITE, we are excited to be your hosts for the ITE Canada 2024 Annual Conference. The ITE Hamilton Section is comprised of the City of Hamilton, Brantford & Brant County, Haldimand County, Halton Region, and Niagara Region. We are situated on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas.

The theme of the conference is Disruptive Progress: the Path to Safer, Cleaner, and More Equitable Transportation. It was chosen to reflect what is happening nationally across the industry, which has resulted in an outstanding technical program. The theme is also a reflection of how our City is evolving in exciting and disruptive ways through the implementation of Complete Streets, new and interesting developments and our growing shared Micromobility program. You will be able to observe this transformation both through the formal program and as you explore the City beyond the conference.

We would like to thank the LAC and all those who have contributed to this Annual Conference: our speakers, presenters, moderators, exhibitors, sponsors, volunteers, and to you—our participants. It has been a long and enjoyable journey, so let’s have fun and embrace Disruptive Progress!

We are grateful to acknowledge the land on which we gather— the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

Canada’s community of transportation professionals

On behalf the ITE Canada Board, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Hamilton, a rich industrial and educational centre surrounded by stunning nature. There is no better city than Hamilton to host a conference with the theme Disruptive Progress: the Path to Safer, Cleaner, and More Equitable Transportation. Just look at the tours showcasing Hamilton’s vibrant arts scene, McMaster University’s cutting-edge research facilities, and multimodal transformation in the city’s downtown, bayfront, and escarpment areas. There is so much to explore in this great city and I hope you take advantage!

The Local Arrangements Committee (LAC), National Technical Program Committee, ITE Canada staff, and many other volunteers have worked hard to craft a strong technical program and fun conference for us in Hamilton.

I am very excited to hear from our keynote speaker, Dr. Jeff Casello on Monday morning. On Tuesday, during lunch, we will have a super star panel talking about Disruption in the Transportation Industry. We also continue to showcase the thought leadership of our top sponsors as well as our partnership with the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP). I invite you to check out the curated panels and workshops in addition to all the great presentations.

Don’t miss out on the many special events happening every day, especially the First Timers’ Reception on Sunday if this is your first ITE Canada conference. These are wonderful opportunities to socialize with peers and learn more about ITE. Students play a vital role at our conference, and this year is no exception with a strong turnout for the Traffic Bowl. Join us on Monday to cheer them on, and wrap up your day at the Student Mixer for a night of fun, food, and laughter.

June 9th – 12th, 2024 On behalf of the City of Hamilton and my Council colleagues I welcome you all to the ITE Canada 2024 Annual Conference happening at the wonderful Hamilton Convention Centre.

I am thrilled to see the theme of this year's conference is Disruptive Progress: The Path to Safer, Cleaner and More Equitable Transportation.

Municipalities of all sizes understand that effective policy decisions create engaged communities and provide residents access through mobility choices. Equity and mobility intersect through robust transportation policy and planning, enriching the lives of all community members.

I hope you get the chance to explore our wonderful city by way of our HSR, which is one of the first transit systems in Canada. 2024 marks their 150th anniversary and from humble beginnings as horse-drawn streetcars to its now current modern fleet. The Hamilton Street Railway has continuously evolved to meet the needs of our growing city.

Thank you for being at this conference. I cannot wait to hear the important discussions about safe and healthy mobility in Canada.

Yours Sincerely,

Wishing you a fantastic conference and enjoyable time in Hamilton. I am eager to meet as many of you as possible, so please come find me and introduce yourself.

Cheers!

Mobility hubs are innovative solutions for urban transportation challenges. They are places where different modes of travel, such as microtransit, cycling, and car share, converge and connect. They enhance the accessibility and sustainability of travel, and support the principles of complete streets and transit-oriented development. This presentation will teach you how to design mobility hubs in your communities, using case studies and practical exercises.

You will learn how mobility hubs can improve urban livability and help you achieve your goals of creating more sustainable, equitable, resilient and livable communities.

4D Thought Leader Session (SPONSOR-LED PANEL) Sponsored & led by:

Retail shopping centres are undergoing a period of dramatic change. Malls across Canada are responding to customer and tenant desires for more multimodally accessible, integrated, and mixed-use spaces. This change involves the public and private sectors and requires combining long-term planning with near-term flexibility. Using the evolution of Lime Ridge Mall in Hamilton as an example, panellists representing different areas of expertise within the planning and approvals process will speak to the opportunities and challenges for evolving the retail spaces, providing additional housing, integrating transit access, and reducing automobile dependence.

An interactive session to bridge research and practice Sponsor:

A network of cycling infrastructure is vital for people reach the destinations they need along routes with high quality, safe facilities. While many Canadian municipalities refer to “networks” in their cycling plans and policies, a standardized definition is lacking. We will share how bicycle networks are represented in cycling or active transportation plans and policies from across the country. We aim to build insights on this topic through interactive activities and a roundtable discussion with practitioners.
