Earlier in the week @the_AUO @RMIT_CUR's Distinguished Professor @billiegc participated in a @VicHealth webinar on the urgent need for governments to direct stimulus funds into measures that make cities #healthier, more #sustainable and more #equitable.

Key elements of City of Vancouver 1997 transport plan which revolutionised planning in the city. But was underpinned by alignment of transport and urban design budgets to support planning objectives reports @pricetags at the @RMIT_CUR #talkingtransport seminar.
What comes after a night of heavy rain? the answer seems to be significant train delays! Listen to @TransportRMIT member Dr Chris DeGruyter’s comments on Melbourne’s radial train network in his interview with @Jacinta_Parsons, @abcmelbourne:

Have you checked the recently launched @RMIT’s Australian Urban Observatory, @the_AUO? How do you think its research-based indicators (such as walkability and access to public transport) can help to inform transportation decision-making in Australia? auo.org.au
The problem with transport models is political abuse, not their use in planning, a conversation article by @TransportRMIT researchers Eric Keys and Chris De Gruyter and Graham Currie from Monash Uni theconversation.com/the-prob…
Identifying Transport@RMIT’s unique values and developing inputs to a capability deployment action plan for the network were some of the topics our members discussed in the workshop today. What do you think are the key areas that @TransportRMIT can have a unique contribution?
Join us for an exciting seminar with Professor Jennifer Dill from Portland State University on Relationships between children’s and parents’ attitudes about cycling safety and behaviour, hosted by @TransportRMIT and @RMIT_CUR

@TransportRMIT member Dr Claire Boulange from @RMIT_CUR talks about her urban simulation system (Planning Support System) and its use to test the effect of built environment changes on health-based indicators such as walkability: rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/20…
How levels of non-motorised accessibility could affect the number of active trips? Tayebeh Saghapour presents at @TransportRMIT and @RMIT_CUR joint seminar.
Steve Pemberton talks about his research on a new grid-like network for buses in Melbourne and who will benefit the most as the result at the @RMIT_CUR and @TransportRMIT seminar.
Are you interested to gain insights into government decision-making and the different ways that researchers might influence transport policy? Check this interactive workshop by David Downes and Brian Coffey for @RMIT transport researchers:

This is an elegant study by @trnsprtst on inaccessibility to train stations. Perhaps some of that Federal $500m for car parking would be better spent on station access improvement. [Though noting better access could reduce active travel time] theconversation.com/how-to-i…
Join us for our second research seminar on 28th May (12pm-1pm) at RMIT University. Speakers include Steve Pemberton presenting on optimising Melbourne's bus routes and Tayebeh Saghapour presenting on the impacts of non-motorised accessibility. eventbrite.com.au/e/transpor…
