SUMMARY:Highway Bus Rapid Transit (CM |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Bus Rapid Transit – or BRT – is bus service that includes enhanced travel ways\, stations and equipment. BRT offers passengers faster\, more reliable service than traditional bus service. It does so by providing more frequent service and reducing traffic delays by giving BRT vehicles priority over general traffic. This type of service can be implemented faster less expensively than rail transit while still offering many of the same attributes and benefits as rail transit. Because the public is relatively unfamiliar with BRT\, public education and marketing are very important to the success of this type of service. Early and frequent communication with transit users\, supporters and funders can help transit providers overcome stereotypes and misperceptions regarding bus usage\, speed and reliability that can hinder BRT or freeway BOS implementation. Freeway bus-on-shoulder is simply a technique to achieve transit priority on freeways. Just as bus rapid transit often includes running-way priority via dedicated lanes and signal priority\, bus-on-shoulder achieves priority by allowing bus operations on highway shoulders. Transit vehicles are allowed to travel on the shoulder when speeds decrease to a certain threshold on the mainline (typically 35 mph). Buses can then travel faster than the mainline traffic\, improving service reliability and making buses more competitive with personal automobiles. This increases ridership and builds and strengthens positive perceptions of bus transit and its provider. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Senior Mobility (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:As the nation’s aging population continues to grow\, communities are grappling with a range of planning issues to accommodate the expanding and diversifying needs of older adults. In study after study\, transportation ranks first among the concerns of older adults\, their caregivers\, and the institutions that support them. This webcast will examine several trends gaining traction with transit and paratransit agencies as well as with governmental agencies that focus on senior needs. Case studies will be presented from rural\, suburban\, and urban communities\, including one of the first suburban NORCs (naturally-occurring retirement community) in the nation. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Green Building & Environmental Sustainability Element Tool (CM |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The Green Building and Environmental Sustainability Element (GBESE) is an adopted element of the Municipal Master Plan. In August 2008\, the NJ Municipal Land Use Law was amended to include the GBESE in the list of permitted Master Plan Elements. It describes the Element as the following: “A green buildings and environmental sustainability plan element\, which shall provide for\, encourage\, and promote the efficient use of natural resources and the installation and usage of renewable energy systems; consider the impact of buildings on the local\, regional and global environment; allow ecosystems to function naturally; conserve and reuse water; treat storm water on-site; and optimize climatic conditions through site orientation and design.” This webinar will address the creation and adoption of a GBESE which\, like all Master Plan Elements\, is intended to guide land-use decisions and provides the basis for ordinances addressing sustainability and land use issues. Representatives from the planning community\, including the acclaimed Sustainable JerseyTM certification program\, will discuss the program’s GBESE tool for certification\, how to introduce sustainability concepts into local planning documents\, and will highlight some examples from high performing sustainability plans. The APA-NJ’s Sustainability Committee will discuss another approach to developing sustainable master plan language by infusing sustainability concepts throughout each of the Master Plan’s traditional plan elements. And a planning practitioner will discuss the process for working with your town planning board to develop the appropriate sustainability language for your community’s GBESE. \nClick here to register.
