The BBSP Shared Micromobility Roundtable is an annual convening that brings together practitioners working to make shared micromobility more equitable. This year, NACTO is hosting the BBSP Shared Micromobility Roundtable as a component of the May 2023 Designing Cities Conference in Denver, Colorado. Join us to discuss topics like the rapid electrification of fleets, strategies for centering equity, and the future of the shared micromobility industry.
Session at capacity.
In this workshop, we will introduce the key concepts of adaptive leadership, a framework designed to help individuals, teams and organizations address big challenges and promote needed change. Rather than looking at leadership as synonymous with one’s position or formal authority, we define it as an activity that is accessible to anyone regardless of role. In this spirit, we hope to inspire an exploration of what it would mean for you to exercise greater leadership and address a big challenge in your city transportation context. The workshop is primarily based on the adaptive leadership framework first developed at the Harvard Kennedy School that is now being advanced by a growing network of practitioners and educators around the world.
By participating in the session, you will:
- gain an introductory understanding of key adaptive leadership ideas
- discover new ways of thinking about leadership and strategies for engaging people in the work of change
- begin to envision how to more effectively exercise leadership within your team, organization or community
Don’t think you have room for a protected intersection? Not sure how to give bikes priority over turning cars? This practical training combines the power of time (signals) and space (geometric solutions) for tricky bikeway intersections. Learn how to get people on bikes and micromobility devices safely through an intersection using innovative best practices and easy-to-implement standards-based alternatives.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will engage with leading practitioners who specialize in bike intersection design, work with peers to problem-solving challenging intersections, and apply their new skills to streets like theirs. So, sharpen your pencils and pull out your calculators for a hands-on design experience, applying techniques such as checking a turn radius or calculating a signal phase, and roll away with the skills to make your city’s bikeway intersections safe and inviting for people of all ages and abilities.
For first timers and those who've attended previous NACTO facilitation workshops both - there will be new material and a strong focus on application. We'll take new ideas and approaches and roll up our sleeves to apply them immediately to our own work. Attendees of this popular workshop will have a bit of pre-work; come ready to revamp a meeting that matters to YOU.
Meetings and all sorts of people-convenings are critical to getting our work done well, but far too often, they feel like a poor use of valuable time, with unclear goals, the wrong people in the room, unengaged participants, end-times that aren’t honored, or vague follow-up. So how can we make more of our meetings timely, powerful, positive, and useful to all involved?
Designing and facilitating effective meetings— from public community meetings to internal staff huddles to virtual events—is a learnable skill. What sets great meetings apart from all the others is careful, intentional planning and keen facilitation skills.
In this workshop, we’ll explore practical tools and approaches to make all of your meetings more productive, effective, and—dare we say— more enjoyable for everyone. You’ll learn creative strategies to engage stakeholders, meaningful ways to surface and truly hear community needs, and tips for how to present your ideas in a compelling way. Through structured exercises, you’ll also have a chance to work through some vexing meeting puzzles you’re grappling with in your own work. You’ll leave this workshop better prepared to design and facilitate all sorts of meetings, internal and external, with new confidence, energy, and skills.
Picture your city’s biggest, widest, most risky arterial. It probably has lots of lanes, lots of cars, frequent crashes and injuries, and traffic swinging from stop-and-go to fast-and-furious. How can we fix it?
Join this workshop for a hands-on look at innovative approaches your city can use to tame speeds and improve safety on dangerous arterials. In this 201-level workshop, we’ll focus on honing the tools needed to implement uncontrolled / mid-block crossings, analyze 5-to-3 and 4-to-3 conversions, and evaluate turn-calming treatments. We’ll also walk through how signal timing improvements can limit drivers’ opportunity to speed, and discuss strategies for making these changes in your city.
Come by our Registration Desk to pick up your badge, a mask, and some swag any time between 9:30am and 1:00pm.
Many leading transportation agencies have bold goals - massive mode shift, halting climate change, and
achieving vision zero. Few have developed road maps that demonstrate what it to take to hit these goals.
Denver Moves Everyone (DME), the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure's Strategic
Transportation Plan, solves this problem. DME translates aspirational targets into near- and mid-term
objectives and metrics, and with the help of innovative tools, allows the city to strategically program our
work and measure incremental progress towards our goals.
This session will focus on a suite of innovative tools aimed specifically at moving trends in the right
direction on the path to achieving our goals. The tools will be presented through a discussion of three
core topic areas:
- Equity. New data to better understand travel today and inequities caused by Denver's transportation system design
- System Planning. Scenario planning an models to forecast the path to achieve ambitious goals
- Capital Programming. Funding, prioritization, and programming tools to elevate investments that have the best chance to move the needle on Denver's transportation goals
How do you know if what you’re building is good enough? What metrics should cities use to determine if a bikeway or street network is truly rideable for people of all ages and abilities? In this session, join practitioners to hear how Level of Traffic Stress, crossability metrics, and network access measures have changed the way cities design streets. Then, roll up your sleeves and pull out your calculators to practice applying these metrics to real cases.
Repurposing street space for transit is toughest where it’s needed most—the intersection. Join us to dive into some of the more complex bus lane configurations and operational strategies for improving transit speed and reliability, and avoiding gridlock through even the busiest and most congested intersections.
Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, outdoor dining and open street initiatives have played a vital role in connecting people in safe and accessible ways. More than three years later, cities face difficult questions about the benefits and challenges of such programs, and how to integrate them with other public right-of-way initiatives.
In this session, learn how cities are conceptualizing the future of open streets and outdoor dining programs, how these programs are embedded alongside bike, pedestrian, and parking infrastructure, and how cities can best use their limited space, resources, and political capital to create vibrant, sustainable public spaces.
Lowering speed limits on city streets is a proven way to reduce crashes, and practitioners across the world have gotten word. Cities from Bogotá to Bellevue are taking action to reduce speed limits as part of a holistic approach to improving traffic safety. In this session, learn how you can join the groundswell of cities adopting a context-sensitive approach to setting speed limits, and how to break through the roadblocks that make it harder to slow vehicles down.
Building an equitable engagement strategy means creating a process that can adapt to different communities, understanding the purpose of the engagement, and pivoting when needed. Using bike share as a model, hear from cities about how they are building equitable engagement strategies into their work at a programmatic level and how their local operators are supporting their work.
Across North America, transportation safety professionals increasingly recognize that vehicle design and visibility from the driver’s seat are significant factors in the rise of traffic crashes and fatalities. In Europe and the UK, government standards help regulate vehicle design to ensure drivers of trucks and other heavy vehicles can properly see the road. However, no such standards exist in the U.S.
In this panel, hear from vehicle design experts, city staff, safety advocates and truck manufacturers about efforts to reduce traffic fatalities by creating a “Direct Vision Standard” for vehicles. Learn why visibility matters and how your city can save lives by re-considering which vehicles it uses and buys.

Join us for a keynote at the mainstage.
In the past decade, cities across North America have made tremendous progress in expanding protected bike networks. After years of using flexible materials that can be easily installed and replaced, many cities are trying different approaches, including switching to more durable solutions. In this session, hear from cities that have developed creative strategies for building, maintaining, and evaluating bike barriers, and learn about how these different approaches to protecting bikeways can be applied in your city.
Achieving bold, transformative visions for transportation networks requires collaboration and alignment across agencies. Join us to learn from city DOTs and transit agencies who have formed supportive cross-agency relationships, and are seeing major improvements in internal communications, long-range strategic planning, and on-the-ground project delivery.
In many cities, the most dangerous place to be a pedestrian (or anyone else) is the wide, fast street known as an urban arterial. Such streets make up about 4% of the road mileage in the US, but are the site of 31% of traffic fatalities. Often, arterials are owned by state agencies, and making policy, design, or signal changes requires thoughtful collaboration between local and state DOTs.
Join us to learn about how successful partnerships between cities and states have improved street safety on urban arterials, and to hear from city and state decision-makers about how they plan to further strengthen their collaborative muscle in the future.

This fireside chat will feature newly appointed directors of Departments of Transportation at cities around the United States. These new directors will discuss leadership and their unique approaches to stepping into the role and how they are responding to the current trends, challenges, and opportunities in transportation right now.
Many cities rely on local community partners to co-create, deepen engagement and collaboration, and design more equitable street projects. But creating truly strong partnerships requires cities to pay local partners for their services and time, a challenge for many municipal governments. In this session, we’ll discuss how cities can source funding to better collaborate with community partners, and how they can better anticipate and plan for these funding needs as they develop projects.
What happens at the curb doesn’t stay there. From bus stops, goods delivery, pick-up/drop-off, parklets, private vehicle, bike, and shared micromobility parking, and trash collection, to on-street dining, and electric vehicle charging, how cities choose to price, manage, and allocate space at the curb impacts everything else. In this panel, hear from cities who are proactively managing their curb space, developing plans that weigh and price competing needs and uses, to create safer, more sustainable and vibrant cities.

Underused public land, especially parks and rights of way, can be huge liabilities for cities, becoming places for illegal dumping, camping, environmental degredation and worse, diminishing property values and further deteriorating the quality of life for neighbors.
Alternatively, cities and their partners can reclaim these spaces for public use and transportation in the form of urban greenways, connecting neighborhoods and parks for people on foot and bikes, galvanizing community organizations to help with programming and advocacy, and creating opportunities for housing and economic development.
While the upside is enormous, these projects present multiple issues for a city to address. Many combine the strengths and challenges of streets, multi-use paths, parks and land development. As such, they require more attention, community outreach and programming than most city transportation agencies can or are willing to provide, making partnerships with local organizations essential.
We will hear from managers of two transformational projects in two different cities: The Underline in Miami and The Joe Louis Greenway in Detroit. Join us to hear the greenways’ origin stories; how and why partnerships were developed; what roles the cities and partners play in management, operations, design and policymaking; what impacts they are having on the communities they run through; how they connect to the bicycle and pedestrian networks in their cities; and what lessons can be drawn for other cities contemplating similar projects.
Nobody likes stepping in a slush puddle. But for many of us, street drainage is more than just a matter of staying dry—it’s a fundamental part of keeping our streets usable and accessible.

Cities can’t transform their transportation systems if they don’t have the staff to develop and complete projects. But municipal hiring and retention in many cities is slow, cumbersome and ineffective, leading to breakdowns in staff morale, derailing plans, and imperiling cities’ core functions. In this session, hear from cities trying different approaches to improve hiring and retention, and what recommendations they have for cities in similar positions.
Across the U.S., streets and roads are shaped by regulations written in the freeway era. From key documents like the MUTCD and the long-awaited PROWAG accessibility guidelines, to an array of federal and state-level design manuals, these documents shape how our streets look and how safe people will be on them. With a little creativity, city engineers and planners can use these documents to advance progressive safety and climate-focused projects.
In this panel, hear from engineers, consultants, and policymakers exploring how cities can use federal regulations for good, and discuss the next steps for pivotal guidance like the MUTCD, PROWAG, and Federal-aid Highway design standards.
As transportation planners and engineers, we’re used to using data to make strategic decisions. But data—when presented thoughtfully—can also be a powerful communications tool, helping to illustrate disparities, explain changes over time or make the case for investment to both decision-makers and the public. In this session, learn how planners have used data to tell stories about transportation in their cities, and to shift narratives in order to make change.
The Denver Connector is a free, on-demand, public microtransit service designed to connect residents to the greater regional transportation network and to key services like grocery stores.
