Global and the Standards Aimee Gauthier October 2014

Who is Global? Global Programs Colin Hughes, Director National Policy and Project Evaluation Michael Kodransky, Manager, Global Research Luc Nadal, Technical Director, Urban Development - Jacob Mason, Manager, Transport Research and Evaluation Global Policy Michael Replogle, Managing Director Global Policy, Co- founder Communications Jemilah Magnusson, Manager, Communications - Gabriel Lewenstein, Associate, Communications

Why Global? To aid in replication & dissemination To help establish our credibility and authority by leveraging our work for program and development purposes To be ambassadors for sustainable transport generally and ITDP specifically To ensure quality control To help with internal communications

How? Best Practices – Standards: how to define best practices – Case studies: Success stories to inspire and learn from (our own and others) – Technical Guides: how to implement best practices (consolidating our expertise with others) Research and Development – Preliminary research into new topics, such as parking (US and European Best Practices), urban development (OCO, 8 principles), shared mobility – Collecting data and analyzing / disseminating (Bike share, BRT Standard, TOD Standard) Monitoring and Evaluation – Internally: Working with organization on goal setting and then measuring our impact – Externally: Producing numbers for our funders Technical assistance – Ensuring quality control once we set standards and targets – On demand (from general research on way finding to deep technical assistance on research issues)

Best Practices: Standards

Standards How have we used the Standards? Plans for the future? What we would like to see?

Case Studies Sustainable Transport Award Best practice portal on the website TOD case studies – need local examples What do we need and in what form?

Technical Guides New and Improved for 2015

Research and Development National Policy Bike share data Data from Standards Shared Mobility Density Way finding? Complete streets? Should we have organization wide fact sheets or should each office just create their own?

What is our Impact? Are we doing enough to quantify and know our impact? Measure our results ? PR and Program

Monitoring & Evaluation - internal Goal setting: RTR to reach CO2 goals – Upcoming – how to achieve replication in urban development? – How to measure GHG impacts from parking reform or urban development? Project impacts (Transoeste Report) Consolidating project experience and share from office to office – Parking – Kodransky organizing calls to discuss work with China and Mexico – Staff meetings

M/E - External Climate Change – GHG reduction through reduced car use based on Better Streets and Better Cities – Sustainable Transport Corridors – tracking kms and outputs – Urban development – tracking pop density via FAR and maybe ridership or mode split along corridor BUENOS AIRES!!

Monitoring & Evaluation - External Equity / Poverty alleviation – Travel time saved – Travel costs reduced Health – Years of Life saved from lowered pollution or increased health lifestyle Road safety – Reduction in fatalities

Tactics Release of reports = data is important; supplemental materials (infographics, videos) Release of scores from standards Conferences STA Global campaigns? Are we driving the discussion? At what level? Global advocacy?
