Through our work in over 2000 communities around the country, we have found that when cities are designed around cars and traffic, they fill with more cars and traffic--whereas if we begin to plan cities for people and places, we will get more people and places.</p> <p>Starting in the 1970s, when PPS President <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/info/aboutpps/staff/fkent"> Fred Kent</a> began working on William H. Whyte's "Street Life Project," PPS has continued to be involved in research, training, and project work related to transportation issues. We have trained transportation professionals across the states of New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York in Context Sensitive Design; we designed and manage the FHWA Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.contextsensitivesolutions.org/">website</a>, and are in the process of developing a major campaign geared towards achieving fundamental transportation reform in the United States.</p> <p>It is clear from all of our work that the public spaces of cities, towns and villages梠ur streets and roads, parks and plazas, waterfronts and commercial districts梤epresent this country's greatest potential to create livable, walkable, healthy and sustainable communities, as well as its greatest challenge.</p> <h2>THE WORKSHOP</h2> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241im_/http://www.pps.org/graphics/upo-pages/sap_image1_medium" alt="" align="right" hspace="6">With these ideas in mind, PPS will be offering "Streets as Places," a two-day transportation/Placemaking training course in the fall 2008. The goal of the course is to introduce participants to new ways of thinking about streets as public spaces and how Placemaking can be used to build great streets and great communities. It is intended for anyone who is interested in creating a great street, including transportation professionals who want to learn more about how streets can help to build communities, civic and elected officials who realize that greater economic impact can result from changing the way that roads are designed, and citizen activists who understand that the time for change is now. </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241im_/http://www.pps.org/graphics/upo-pages/sap_image3_medium" alt="A course group" align="right" hspace="6">Presentations and discussion will center on how streets, roads, and transit facilities can be designed and managed to benefit communities, in addition to serving mobility needs. Practical tools for assessing a variety of street typologies and case studies of cities which have moved beyond solving mobility problems to community building will be presented, and participants will be encouraged to discuss their own projects as well as share experiences and ideas with each other. The training session will include discussion of some recent street improvement projects in New York City, an on-site Placemaking street audit, seminar-style lectures, and open discussions about current transportation issues and challenges facing cities today.</p> <p>Specific topics will include: <ul><li><i>Context Sensitive Solutions</i> - designing streets and roads for community outcomes and benefits </li> <li><i>Walkability</i> - designing streets to link destinations </li> <li><i>Transit (Thinking Beyond the Station)</i> - how to create transit stops and stations that function as places in communities</li> <li><i>Land Use</i> - how smart land use decisions can leverage transportation investments most effectively</li> <li><i>Placemaking on Streets</i> - a series of tools and techniques for designing streets as places</li> <li><i>Community Engagement</i> - making the process effective and painless</li> <li><i>How to Engage Transportation Agencies</i> - get the outcomes you want for your community </li> <li><i>Street Management</i> - how to manage through BIDs/Partnerships/Alliances</li> <li><i>Long Range Transportation Planning and Project Development</i> - engaging stakeholders in making important decisions about long-term transportation investments</li> </ul> </p> <h2 style="clear: both;">FACILITATORS</h2> <p><b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/info/aboutpps/staff/gtoth">Gary Toth</a></b>, PPS Director of Transportation Initiatives and former Director of Project Planning and Development for the New Jersey Department of Transportation;</p> <p>PPS senior staff<b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/info/aboutpps/staff/fkent"> Fred Kent</a> </b>, President; <b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/info/aboutpps/staff/cnikitin">Cynthia Nikitin</a></b>, Vice President; and <b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/info/aboutpps/staff/respiau">Renee Espiau</a></b>, Transportation Planner and Senior Associate. </p> <p>The next <b>Streets as Places</b> training course will be held</p> <p><b>September 15-16, 2008</b></p> <h2>REGISTRATION</h2> <p>Registration for the course is now open. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.pps.org/training/info/transportation_training_registration">Click here</a> to register.</p> <p><strong>Prices are as follows:</strong></p> <table width="420" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#000000"><table width="420" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#f9f8f7"><b><font color="#000000">Groups of three or more</font></b> are eligible for a discount rate.

Bring comfortable walking shoes and a raincoat and umbrella for site visits. Even if it rains, we like to stick to our existing schedule for the walking tour and site visits.</p> <p><h2>DIRECTIONS</h2></p> <p>Airport travel information can be found at these links. Any of these airports are suitable, though if you're into transit systems, both JFK and Newark have Airtrains that link the airport to train stations. Cabs might be the quickest way, but will run you $40-50. There are also a variety of shuttle buses available. <br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://gonyc.about.com/cs/airlinesairports/a/getto_lga.htm">From LaGuardia Airport </a><br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://gonyc.about.com/cs/airlinesairports/a/getto_ewr.htm">From Newark Airport </a><br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://gonyc.about.com/cs/airlinesairports/a/getto_jfk.htm">From John F Kennedy International Airport</a> <br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080802020241/http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm">Map of New York City Subway</a></p> <p><h2>BIOS</h2></p> <p>Once you register for the course please send us a short bio of yourself and your organization.
