SUMMARY:Webinar: Safer Railroading: A Discussion About Targeted Safety Policy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar discusses the findings from Eno’s report: Safer Railroading: A Guide Toward Targeted Safety Policy. \n\nAccording to Eno’s newest report\, railroads are among the safest modes of transportation for workers\, riders\, and the public. Strong federal standards for railroad track and operations\, technological investments like positive train control\, and communities’ infrastructure improvements have yielded significant gains. But most of these gains have plateaued and in some cases safety trends are moving in the wrong direction. A new strategy and framework is needed to address the most significant safety issues facing railroads. Join us for a discussion with the industry’s leading safety experts to explore trends in railroad safety data and actionable recommendations for federal\, state\, local\, and private sector actors to make a demonstrable improvement in railroad safety. \nThis webinar will include a presentation of the findings of Eno’s report\, “Safer Railroading: A Guide Toward Targeted Safety Policy” and a discussion with industry guest speakers. \nWatch the Recording:\n \nSpeakers:\nChuck Baker\, President\, American Short Line & Regional Railroad Association\nBrenda Moscoso\, Assistant Vice President\, Safety Policy and Analysis\, Association of American Railroads\nSteve Predmore\, Executive Vice President and Chief Safety Officer\, Amtrak\nPaul Lewis\, Chief Finance Officer and Policy Director\, Eno Center for Transportation

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Model for Next-Level Interstate Collaboration with the Port Authority of NY and NJ
DESCRIPTION:Created by an Act of Congress in 1921\, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s mission is to oversee the creation of vital infrastructure to serve the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region. In addition to being an interstate agency\, the Port Authority has uniquely been a financially self-supporting entity for the past 100 years. It does not receive tax revenue from either state but relies primarily on revenue generated from facility operations-tolls from its bridges and tunnels\, user fees from the airports and the bus terminals\, fares on its rail transit system\, and rent from facilities\, consumer services\, and retail stores. \nWhat are some of the challenges that come with interstate collaboration? What are some lessons learned from the Port Authority’s 100-year history that others can implement? \nIn this webinar\, join Rick Cotton\, the Port Authority’s Executive Director\, and Kevin J. O’Toole\, the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners\, to discuss what other states can learn from the Port Authority’s one-of-a-kind interstate collaboration and governance structure. \nSpeakers:\nRick Cotton\, Executive Director\, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey\nKevin J.

Sessions will focus both on broader challenges and opportunities in project delivery\, as well as specific themes related to governance\, processes\, and standards at the national\, state\, and local levels. The registration fee for this event is $20. \n\n\n2021 VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM DATES:\nOctober 18 to October 21\nThe registration deadline has now passed.  \nView the Schedule \n\n\nWHY COME TO THE SYMPOSIUM\n\n\nParticipants of the symposium will walk away with information and resources they can use\, as well as a rich network of peers in the industry for continued knowledge and innovation sharing. \n\n\n\nLearn About Costs and Timeline Drivers for U.S. Transit Projects — On day one of the symposium\, you will learn about the findings of Eno’s 18-month long research investigation into the high costs and long timelines of U.S. rail transit construction directly from the report’s authors.\nDiscover Peer Research — During the symposium\, you will be able to attend presentations and panel discussions that highlight the important work currently being undertaken to examine transit costs and delivery issues from various researchers around the country.\nExchange Best Practices and Reform Ideas — You will hear directly from representatives from several European cities profiled in Eno’s international project delivery case studies\, who will share best practices from their respective regions. Expert panels will also allow you to learn about best practices in staff capacity building\, environmental permitting reform\, and community engagement at the federal\, state\, and local levels.\nParticipate in Regionally-Focused Discussion — On the final day of the symposium\, you will learn about major capital expansion programs underway across the country and how project delivery practices have evolved in major cities over time. These panels will also include discussions of how recommendations and takeaways from Eno’s research can help improve outcomes for current and future projects.\nNetwork with Peers and Speakers — Throughout the symposium\, virtual networking lounges and chat rooms will be available for you to meet and network with fellow attendees\, speakers\, researchers\, and Eno staff.\n\n\n\nSESSION ANNOUNCEMENTS\n\n\nWe’re excited to announce sessions for the symposium! Check out some of the 40+ speakers below. \n\nOctober 18: Welcoming Keynote Address with Administrator Nuria Fernandez\n\n\n \nFTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez will deliver an opening address to officially begin Eno’s Transit Cost and Project Delivery Symposium. \n\nOctober 18: Presentation of Eno Work \n \nEno’s research team will present findings\, takeaways\, and recommendations from Eno’s report investigating the high cost and long timelines of rail transit in the United States. \n\nOctober 19: Peer Research Sessions\n \nThe Symposium will feature three concurrent presentations from researchers who have conducted work in project delivery\, with an opportunity for Q&A. \n\nOctober 19: Project Delivery Affinity Group Panel\n \nSeveral concurrent project delivery research initiatives have been underway over the past two years. In this moderated discussion\, members of each research team will discuss common themes and differences that emerged from their respective projects\, some of the challenges and opportunities inherent in investigating transit project delivery\, and areas for future research. \n\nOctober 20: International Best Practices Panel\n \nEno’s case studies identified best practices for effective project delivery in peer regions in Europe. This keynote session will feature a pre-recorded discussion with Spanish\, French\, and Danish stakeholders to discuss some of the best practices that have emerged from their countries’ respective projects\, as well as recommendations identified through Eno and other team’s research. These include standardization of contracts\, station design\, rolling stock\, and creativity in meeting fire codes in Denmark\, and other governance/management best practices in France and Spain. \n\nOctober 20: Staff Capacity and Training Panel\n \nAmong the most important considerations in delivering major transit projects is the need for skilled\, experienced staff. This discussion will focus on how project sponsors can build staff capacity and train their workforce for more effective management of transit projects. \n\nOctober 20: Environmental Permitting Panel\n \nEnvironmental reviews and permitting requirements are a major element of planning and executing major transit projects\, and are frequently cited as a cost and timeline driver. There have been numerous proposals to reform and streamline NEPA and other permitting processes\, though few major changes have been made. This session will discuss some of the findings and recommendations on permitting from Eno’s report. \n\nOctober 20: Community Engagement Panel\n \nCommunity engagement is a critical element of the project planning process\, and can help ensure communities impacted by transit projects have the opportunity to weigh in and shape the project. However\, community engagement can be fraught with confrontation\, pushback\, and overwhelming requests for betterments from municipalities. This panel discussion will discuss challenges and opportunities to strengthen and re-imagine the community engagement and planning process (including scoping\, betterments\, and tolerance of disruption) for transit projects. \n\nOctober 21: Federal Policy Panel\n \nWhile transit project delivery is primarily handled by local agencies and governments\, the federal government plays a large role in funding\, overseeing\, and permitting major transit projects. This panel will discuss best practices in federal permitting and project delivery reforms\, as well as opportunities for federal action and funding to catalyze reform at the local level. \n\nOctober 21: Austin\,TX Project Connect Panel\n \nIn 2020\, Austin voters approved Project Connect\, an historic $7 billion expansion of the city’s transit system\, including new light rail lines and a downtown tunnel. With an independent delivery vehicle created to execute Project Connect and planning underway\, representatives from Austin will discuss the current state of the project\, and how the region can utilize best practices to ensure Project Connect is delivered on-time and on-budget. \n\nOctober 21: Los Angeles Panel\n \nIn this session\, representatives from Los Angeles will discuss the history and evolution of transit project delivery in the region\, including challenges delivering early subway lines\, best practices that have emerged from recent transit projects\, the cultivation of strong in-house expertise\, and plans for future capital expansions. \n\nOctober 21: Seattle Panel\n \nIn this session\, representatives from the region will discuss the history and rapid growth of Sound Transit and its capital program\, including but not limited to its initial light rail line\, lessons learned from its three successful voter-approved transit measures\, COVID-era budget realignment\, and numerous extensions underway. \n\nOctober 21: Preview of Forthcoming Eno Research\n \nThe Eno team will discuss and preview the additional research reports examining project delivery and governance both domestically and abroad that are currently underway.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView the Schedule
