Local councils are responsible for managing 80% of Australia’s road network. This places local government at the forefront of transport challenges and a key driver for change.\nParking\, congestion and safety are all common issues voiced to local government from the community. More broadly\, the transport decisions made by local government have important consequences for sustainability\, urban liveability\, public health and productivity.\nThis Master Class ties these issues together and provides practical tools for Council staff and Councillors to help make informed decisions about the future of their communities.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Take a look at a short clip from a previous Transport Master Class.\nhttps://sensibletransport.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/MasterClass-Promo.mp4\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Topics\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Strategic transport planning: understanding the key principles\nUnderstand practical theory and evidence based decision making to align transport outcomes with Council’s wider strategic ambition. This session provides a broad description on the benefits of sustainable mobility for communities and offers a practical guide for those seeking to create better transport choices for their community. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Car parking policy and management tools\nDiscover how parking management frameworks can help create consistent\, effective decision making on car parking issues. Learn what best practice in parking management looks like and what other councils are doing to align parking with wider strategic planning objectives. Parking provision for new developments\, paid parking and new technology are all covered. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Transport and climate change\nTransport is the fastest growing source of emissions and Councils control 80% of the road network. Discover what local government can do to reduce transport emissions and help the community to lower their own transport emissions footprint. This session highlights the scale of the challenge of aligning transport emissions with climate change targets. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Electric vehicles\, charging infrastructure and zero emission transport\nExplore electric vehicle capabilities\, fleet transition issues\, charging infrastructure and practical policies local councils can use to enhance the efficiency of the fleet. This session covers types of charging infrastructure\, where to put it\, user costs\, and transitioning Council’s fleet to zero emission vehicles. Following this session\, participants will have a familiarity with EV trends\, different vehicle types\, charging technologies and effective policies to grow the contribution EVs can make to reducing emissions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Disruptive transport innovation and how local government can benefit from new transport technology\nTransport technology is changing fast\, and this session provides an overview of emerging mobility platforms\, including micro-mobility (e.g. e-scooters\, bike share)\, shared mobility and last mile freight. We discuss how these emerging forms of transport can be used to assist Council lower car use. Presenters will also offer a critical analysis of autonomous vehicles\, and discuss potential to enhance the sustainability of the transport system. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Creating a walking and cycling friendly city\nMany Councils have committed to growing walking and cycling participation. We will describe the determinants of walking and cycling\, provide case studies of best practice and offer practical options for Council to make walking and cycling more compelling options. Topics will include street design for sustainable mobility\, bicycle infrastructure and parking\, and safety considerations for active travel. Our presenters will also discuss the work we have performed for Melbourne councils and TfNSW on conducting demand forecasting and cost benefit analysis for bicycling infrastructure projects. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why land use planning is critical to achieving a more sustainable transport system\nIt is often said that the best transport strategy is a land use strategy. This session uses Census and other data sources to describe the important influence land use planning (e.g. density\, diversity of destinations) has on mobility choices. It highlights how the 20-minute neighbourhood is one of the most powerful tools available to local government to promote more sustainable travel choices. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr Elliot Fishman\n Director\, Transport Innovation\, Institute for Sensible Transport \n \n\nDr Fishman is ranked by Stanford University in the top 2% of scientists globally.

The focus is to provide you with pragmatic strategies for lowering transport emissions. \nWhy is this seminar important? \nTransport emissions have grown more than any other sector\, increasing nearly 60% since 1990. \nAustralia is now ranked as one of the worst performing OECD countries in transport efficiency\, with among the highest levels of car dependence and lowest levels of electric vehicle uptake. \nThe infographic below illustrates the stark contrast between dirty and clean transport modes and the space each mode consumes. This figure uses black balloons to illustrate the emissions\, on a per person\, per kilometre basis. The footprints represent the space consumption of different modes of transport. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Seminar Flyer\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Topics\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Connecting transport with emissions reduction\nAustralia’s transport system has historically been planned without sufficient consideration of the emissions impact of how we get around.

The NSW Government’s goal is to bring this number to zero. To move Towards Zero\, it will be necessary for safety to become a central part of everyone’s job. No matter what part of the transport sector you work in\, you can have an impact on road safety.\n  \n\nTransportation is the only profession where 33\,000 Americans can die in one year and no one loses their job – Former NYC Transportation Commission\, Janette Sadik-Khan \n\n \nThis one day symposium focuses on evidence-based road safety policies and implementation\, with leading international and Australian road safety experts. The focus is to provide you with practical\, pragmatic strategies for lowering the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.\n \nJoin some of the world’s most respected speakers on road safety and city design\, to help reduce the number of lives lost on NSW roads and make our cities more sustainable.\n \n Download Flyer and Agenda\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Emeritus Professor Fred Wegman\n Former Head\, Dutch Road Safety Institute \n \n\nFred Wegman is Emeritus Professor Traffic Safety at Delft University of Technology and was a ‘Thinker in Residence’ in South Australia.

Learn the safety challenges on the horizon that may threaten to increase the risk profile on Australian city streets. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What has and hasn’t worked in road safety?\nA critical examination of the policies that have bolstered road safety outcomes and the transport policies that continue to increase the risk of serious injury and fatality. Learn from best practice cities on how to minimise safety risks\, and enhance the liveability and sustainability of our cities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Target setting for road safety\nIs Australia meeting its road safety targets\, and what can be learnt from the world leaders in transport safety? Has politics got in the way of effective transport policy? How can areas like parking and speed management be used to bolster safety outcomes on city streets? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driverless vehicles\nWhat are the implications for a future in which driverless cars share the city streets with pedestrians\, cyclists and human driven vehicles? What policies need to be in place to ensure the safety benefits are maximised and walking and cycling participation is not stunted? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Boosting participation and safety for pedestrians and people on bikes\nMost cities have goals to grow active transport and lower the number of injuries to people on foot and bike. What can Australian cities learn from best practice countries in simultaneously ​growing active transport & boosting safety levels? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speed: Is 30 the new 40?\nMany cities in Australia are debating the merits of moving to 30km/h on certain streets.
