Congratulations to all graduates!
UTTRI’s 2018 Public Transit Short Courses were held August 13-15 and attracted both Canadian and international participants this year. In common to all: a keen interest in learning key concepts and best practices.
Public Transit Planning and ITS was held over two days, August 13 and 14, and focused on transit planning, network and service design, service standards, transit and land use, and the application of ITS technologies.
Public Transit Modelling on August 15 explored advanced tools that can be used for forecasting demand at both the system and route levels, transit assignment, and microsimulation-based analysis.
The two short courses are intensive public transit professional development sessions unique in Canada and have been offered annually at the University of Toronto for the past ten years. Instructors are:
- Dr. Hossam Abdelgawad (Director of Transportation, SETS North Africa; Cairo University)
- Dr. Brendon Hemily (Independent Consultant in Public Transportation; University of Toronto)
- Professor Eric Miller (Civil Engineering, University of Toronto)
- Professor Amer Shalaby (Civil Engineering, University of Toronto)
- Professor Nigel Wilson (Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
