Workshop
Cruising the Career Highway: Navigating the Transportation Industry as a Young Professional
August 10, 2025 | 1:00 – 5:00pm
Young professionals play a critical role in shaping the future of transportation, yet they often face unique challenges in career progression, decision-making, and professional development. This interactive workshop, led by a panel of young professionals, will provide early-career transportation professionals and students with actionable strategies to navigate career transitions, enhance communication skills, and build self-awareness. Participants will explore the benefits of professional engagement-particularly through organizations like ITE-as a catalyst for career growth and reputation-building. Through panel discussions, facilitated breakouts, and networking opportunities, attendees will gain insights from peers, share experiences, and develop connections that will support their long-term success in the industry.
Speaker
Traffic Signal Investments and Safety Outcomes
August 11, 2025 | 11:00AM-12:30PM
This session offers practical insights into improving transportation safety and efficiency, covering how mobility enhancements contribute to safety, Florida’s approach to safer intersections through the Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) process, regional strategies for traffic signal investments, and real-world lessons from deploying Advanced Transportation Controller Cabinets (ATCC). Attendees will gain actionable knowledge for enhancing traffic operations and safety.
Speaker
Improving Mobility and Accessibility through Improved Transit Services
August 11, 2025 | 1:30-3:00PM
This session explores how the expansion of a light rail transit system and implementation of bus rapid transit can successfully connect communities and promote reduced need for automobile travel. Innovative ideas and technologies are explored such as transit signal priority and the use of red pavement to improve transit performance and increase compliance. The session concludes with a demonstration of how transit not only improves urban mobility and connectivity but also stimulates economic growth and development.
Poster Session
Improving System Safety through Left-Turn Signal Operations
August 12, 2025 | 10:00-10:45AM
In 2023, the City of Austin adopted new left-turn treatment guidelines, a modified version of FHWA’s Signal Timing Guide (NCHRP 812). Since the summer of 2023, the City has evaluated 2295 signalized left-turns at 624 intersections and implemented new left turn protections at 148 intersections. The City of Austin’s Vision Zero team analyzed changes in crash rates for 73 of these intersections and found a 74% decrease in left turn related crash rates and a 48% decrease in fatal and injury crash rates overall.
This poster will cover the following categories and aspects of the project as outlined below with a special focus on practical lessons learned and recommendations for how attendees can use this guidance as inspiration for their own future safety projects.
Poster Session
Delivering Individual Safety Action Plans for 97 Counties in Iowa
August 12, 2025 | 10:00-10:45AM
The Iowa County Engineers Association (ICEA) is developing Comprehensive Safety Action Plans (SAPs) for 97 Iowa counties. Kimley-Horn, along with partners InTrans and LT Leon Associates, is assisting in the production of individualized plans for each county with the aim of reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The project employs crash data analysis, equity assessments, and community engagement workshops. With successful grant funding and a phased, data-driven approach, the project highlights community-centered, innovative planning to enhance transportation safety and align with Vision Zero and the Safe System Approach goals in a way that is tailored to each county’s needs.
Speaker
Transportation Planning for Special Event
August 13, 2025 | 10:30AM-12:00PM
Special events, from global sporting tournaments to citywide celebrations, present unique transportation challenges that require strategic planning, multi-agency collaboration, and innovative mobility solutions. This session will explore case studies and best practices in transportation planning and operations for high-profile events, including the ICC T20 World Cup Cricket Stadium, Orlando’s citywide event management approach, and strategies for mitigating congestion at major international events. Attendees will gain insights into sustainable multimodal solutions, stakeholder coordination, and cutting-edge technologies that enhance mobility, safety, and the overall event experience.
Speaker
Advancing and Implementing Connected Vehicle Technologies and Infrastructure
August 13, 2025 | 1:00-3:00PM
As connected vehicle technologies continue to reshape the transportation landscape, agencies and industry leaders are working to overcome infrastructure, communication, and safety challenges. This session will highlight real-world deployments, research-driven recommendations, and federal initiatives aimed at optimizing the integration of these technologies. Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge solutions, including bandwidth management for connected vehicles, infrastructure adaptations for deployment, and AI-driven approaches to advancing Vision Zero goals.
