Multimodal Workshop for Planners and Schedulers in San Francisco

APTA will hold its 2013 Multimodal Operations Planning Workshop July 28-31 in San Francisco, hosted by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans).

This workshop promotes and advances the work of America’s professional public transportation planners and schedulers. It is an information sharing opportunity for both established professionals and individuals who are new to the field.

Sessions will provide participants with the latest information on scheduling, facilities planning, technological advances, designing routes, and Bus Rapid Transit. The schedule currently includes these topics:

* Host sessions featuring public transit in the San Francisco area;
* Balancing capacity and demand;
* Service planning for special events;
* Innovations in vehicles, service planning, and scheduling;
* Planning and scheduling water transit;
* Planning for economic recovery; and
* Transit facility design.

A new addition this year will be a display of public transit system maps submitted for review by conference attendees—who will also vote to select the best example which will be recognized in the closing session. The workshop will conclude with technical tours of operational facilities and projects at SFMTA and SamTrans.

Additional information on the workshop is available here.
