Embracing Millennials: Building Tomorrow’s Leadership Pipeline Today

Emigrant Peak-4/25 at 1:30 p.m.

Numerous studies and reports on Millennials paint a bleak picture of this group of

employees. The truth is that these 75.9 million US millennials share many of the same

work-related values as those of different ages and generations. Work-life balance.

Growth and advancement opportunities. Contributing to a bigger impact on society. A

few areas where millennials may differ are in their expectations of communication,

feedback, and collaboration. We can increase engagement (and retention) with

millennials by shifting our communication strategies and creating environments that

encourage entrepreneurial ideas from this very innovative segment of the workforce.

Margaret Roberts is the Director of Career Management at the University of the Pacific

and will explore how these ideas can enhance how we communicate, motivate and work

with millennials who will lead our organizations in the coming years.

Opening the Door to Multimodal Applications and Interoperable Data

Emigrant Peak-4/25 at 3:00 p.m.

GTFS has enabled interoperability between agencies and trip planning applications. But

what about all the other technology that transit providers utilize — signage, real-time,

scheduling, passenger counting, etc.? This describes how to break technology systems

into modular components in order to procure best of breed systems, and connect

systems from different vendors together.

Greater sophistication and interoperability of multimodal transit data can create

increased ridership for transit agencies and better planning tools. Improvements in

multimodal transit data can also enable greater collaboration between the public and

private sectors.

This session brings together various vendors to explore how to create a modular and

interoperable "transit stack" where various systems work together as an integrated

whole. The panel also includes planners who use data from onboard and other systems

to make better decisions.

The session will cover: How to diagram IT architecture and identify the data formats and requirements to

connect various systems together How trip planning, real-time information, signage, and fare systems can and

should work together, both from the agency perspective and rider perspective. What planners need to use data used in trip planners, historical real-time data,

and fare systems to support informed decisions.

Speakers: Aaron Antrim, Trillium Solutions; Emily Yasukochi, Remix; Sean Barbeau. CUTR; Sam Daly, Token Transit; John Helm, Eastern Sierra Transit Authority; Cliff Chambers, Mobility Planners, LLC. Moderator: Greg Pratt, Humboldt Transit Authority

Alpine Ballroom A-4/25 at 4:30 p.m..

This session will cover a model where you can leverage the inclusion of Uber/LYFT,

without getting in trouble with the FTA or State. This involved giving out debit cards that

the passenger can choose how to use them, so he is not directing the method. MBTA

The Future of Intercity Bus Services in California Monument Peak-4/25 at 4:30 p.m.

The University of the Pacific and Caltrans is conducting a study on the Intercity Bus

services and routes in California. UOP UOP has drafted an initial issues document

from its review of the dozen priority rural counties and is now working on drafting a

similar document for the statewide and federal policies and plans. These two areas of

work are closely coordinated and identifying priority issues that will need to be

addressed in the updated State CIBS plan.

Our team has completed a draft summary document outlining the central components

of 5311(f) funding for eight states: Colorado, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oregon,

Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming. Using those states as guides,

our team is currently developing initial draft funding evaluation criteria to guide

development of future 5311(f) funding metrics in California. We hope you attend the

session to review the draft plan and provide comments on the plan.

Human Trafficking is a billion dollar industry involving multiple layers of criminal activity

and the loss of innocence for thousands of people in the United States each year.

California ranks in the top four states for human trafficking activity. Most people do not

understand the complexity or how rampant the problem is and that public transportation

resources are being used daily to carry out these crimes against human beings.

This session will explain what comprises human trafficking and how leaders in public

transportation are addressing this growing epidemic with safe solutions, training,

advertising and social media.

Speakers: Kristen Joyner, Southwest Transit Association

Moderator: Jean Foletta, City of Elk Grove

When Procurements Go “South”. How to Prevent or Recover from

Procurements Problems

Alpine Ballroom B-4/26 at 8:00 a.m.

The RFP process for management and operation of transit services sometimes does

not operate quite as smoothly as we present in conference workshops: other priorities

get in the way, review processes take longer than anticipated, approvals are delayed.

Then you do not get the proposal response that you expected. This workshop will

address common and uncommon problems that come up in transit procurements and

how you can avoid or resolve them to reach a successful contract award.

Shared Use Mobility Programs

Alpine Ballroom A-4/26 at 9:40 a.m.

Several forms of shared-use mobility programs will be discussed in this CalACT session and have been briefly defined below. Carsharing allows people to rent cars on a short-term (hourly or daily), as-needed basis, paying only for the time they use the car and the mileage they drive. The operators of the car-sharing program provide vehicle maintenance, repair, and insurance.

Shared-use vehicles allow individuals to gain the benefits of using a private car without the costs and responsibilities of owning a car. Members of a shared-use vehicle or car sharing program pick-up and return vehicles at shared use lots that are scattered throughout a particular region or concentrated at a transit station, activity or employment center. Typically, a member makes a reservation in advance, lets him or herself into the vehicle with a personal card or key, and drives away. When the person is done using the car, she returns the car to its home parking space, locks it, and leaves it for the next car sharer.

This particular CalACT session will be examining the various way, which these mobility

options can be incorporated by public transit agencies and city run transportation

programs to the benefit of their passengers and constituents. As the diversity of the

speaking panel below suggests, this session will be examining the deployment of car

sharing programs and other shared use mobility options with a kaleidoscopic lens and a

plurality of perspectives. During this session, the panelists will be discussing the

various forms of shared-use mobility and the methodologies and stratagems that have

guided the deployment of these kinds of programs to provide transportation options for

seniors, individuals with disabilities, and individuals who are economically insolvent.

The last demographic mentioned will be of special interest during this session.
