8 - 8:15 a.m.GENERAL SESSION: Human Trafficking Awareness Efforts in Transit
8:15 - 9:30 a.m. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, affecting millions of adults and children in the United States and worldwide. Traffickers move their victims on all modes of transportation, and sometimes use public transit due to its low cost and greater anonymity.
This session will highlight FTA’s Human Trafficking Awareness and Public Safety Initiative, which supports the USDOT's "Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking" initiative.
Additionally, transit leaders will discuss the actions their agencies are taking to combat human trafficking by issuing leadership statements, signing pledges, developing reporting protocols, training their employees, and conducting public awareness campaigns.
Chair, Mark E. Huffer
Public transportation is the most space-efficient way to move people in a city—but buses can’t work if they’re stuck in traffic! It’s more important than ever that cities and transit agencies build on their intrinsic partnership to ensure transit riders enjoy a fast, convenient, and safe commute.
Decades of car-oriented urban development have left many city streets congested with traffic and unsafe to those who do not drive. Cities have responded with bold actions, such as building car-free busways, redesigning streets to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe, and providing transit with priority access to valuable curb space. This is the opportune time for cities and transit agencies to work together in a joint strategy to make our communities stronger.
Mobility on the Mainstage will bring together mayors, council members, and transit agency leadership to develop a plan to address strategic questions.
SCHEDULE:
8 - 8:30 a.m. | Introductory Remarks by Transit and City Leadership
8:30 - 10 a.m. | Opening Discussion & Mayors Panel
10 - 10:15 a.m. | Networking Break
10:15 -11:15 a.m. | Transit, Complete Streets, and the Future of the Curb
• The Complete Streets movement has swept city halls and departments of transportation in recent years, offering a vision of improved accessibility and safety for all users of streets and sidewalks. How does the Complete Streets movement affect the transit rider experience? How can transit agencies support it?
• As cities gain accurate, digital maps of all curb space, they have new opportunities to allocate space across transit, freight, private mobility services, and more. Can a better-managed curb improve bus service? What new technologies are improving curb management? How can transit help?
• Many cities are considering BRT lanes and even car-free urban thoroughfares. What potential do these strategies hold for transit riders? How can strategies be aligned?
11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Paying for Better Mobility
• Congestion pricing and other pricing methods are being implemented as TDM strategies and a way to generate revenues. How does road pricing fit into a comprehensive strategy for streets?
• How can cities support transit ballot initiatives in the context of a federal-state-local partnership?
• Is it a good idea for municipalities to “purchase” transit service to increase frequency on select routes, as several cities have done? Is this preferable to cities simply providing transit funding generally?
12:15 - 1:15 p.m. | Networking Lunch
1:15 - 2:10 p.m. | Finding the Path Forward
• Distribute draft set of “Strategic Alignment Questions” for transit and cities
• Fireside chat with compelling speaker
• Elicit comments from attendees
• APTA team will further refine questions in the afternoon based on feedback
2:15 - 3:10 p.m. | Who Should Be the Mobility Manager?
• Both cities and transit agencies have taken steps to be mobility managers, building Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions. As new mobility options proliferate in our cities, what is the best way to enable residents to choose from a variety of modes? Who—if anyone—should do it?
3:15 - 4:10 p.m. | Toward a New Governance of the Street
• Transit agencies have a regional purview, but limited power to manage the street or oversee new mobility modes like ride hail and micromobility. Cities divide management of rights of way and regulation of mobility services across an array of agencies. What problems are created by the status quo? What changes should be considered?
4:10 - 4:30 p.m. | A Shared Strategy
• Distribute final questions to the group
• Assure strategic alignment
• Short panel discussion with APTA and city leadership about how to keep the momentum going
• Opportunity for final comments
• A promise that APTA will follow up with a nicely formatted document summarizing questions where cities and transit should have a shared strategy
