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

Best Practices: Standards

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?
