Webinar: Tribal Sovereignty and Tribal Engagement "How To Do Business With Tribes"
Date: January 31, 2023
Time: 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm MT/6:30 pm to 7:30 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: Pacific NW Transportation Consortium
There are 29 tribes in the State of Washington. Each tribe has their own unique history and legal relationship with the U.S. Federal Government and State. Today as tribes become the largest employers in their regions, State agencies have more opportunity to work with them. For State agencies and universities to have successful professional engagement they must understand the tribal sovereignty and the government to government relationship that is grounded in the U.S. Constitution, Treaties and Executive Orders. This training will provide participants with an understanding the of the legal foundations of this relationship and trust obligations by federal agencies. Participants will leave with a better understanding of State-Tribal Relations and Centennial Accord (1989). State agencies are mandated to make reasonable efforts to collaborate with tribes in the development agreements and program implementation that directly affect Indian tribes. Chapter 43.376 RCW. Participants will learn about tribal governments, organizational structures and best protocols to engage with tribal communities.

Webinar: Arterial Signal Timing Implementation, Evaluation, and Related Performance Measures
Date: February 2, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET
Cost: Free members/$79 non-members
Organization: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
This webinar is one in a series related to the design and operation of signalized intersections. There is much material available on the development of signal timing patterns, including data collection, modeling, and optimization, but not much information exists on how to implement those timing parameters into the intersection controllers and the fine tuning needed to provide the optimum corridor operation.
This webinar will close that gap by discussing the best practices for implementing new timings, evaluating those timings through a fine tuning process and developing a before-and-after analysis, and a discussion of arterial performance measures that can be monitored to identify any degradation of the timing patterns. Attendees will learn how to update timing parameters through an Advanced Traffic Management System or through direct connection with a controller in the field using a laptop computer; how to review the initial timings in the field and make adjustments to fine tune the timings; and how to monitor a variety of performance measures to identify timing pattern degradation that may necessitate further adjustments.

Webinar: The Walk Audit - An Effective Tool for Community Change
Date: February 14, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: America Walks
Conducting a Walk Audit is the first step for many walkable community advocates, and it often leads to positive community change for people of all ages.
Join America Walks and AARP Livable Communities on Tuesday, February 14th for a webinar titled The Walk Audit: An Effective Tool for Community Change, which will include an announcement about new resources and funding. A panel of Walking College Fellows will discuss their experience using Walk Audits to engage the public, build awareness of the importance of walkable design, identify specific pedestrian safety issues, and advance policy and community development goals. An extremely versatile tool, a Walk Audit can be conducted alone, with a group of other concerned residents to document needed changes, or with public officials who have the power to do something about it.
After registering for this webinar, review America Walks’ How to Conduct a Walk Audit video and AARP’s Walk Audit Tool Kit. Then, learn about the AARP Community Challenge grant program, which helps communities become great places for people of all ages. In 2023, a new funding opportunity – Capacity-Building Microgrants – combines $2,500 in funding with training, cohort learning opportunities, and one-on-one coaching from America Walks to help communities to implement Walk Audits.
America Walks will be joined by Rebecca Delphia (AARP Livable Communities) and past State Walking College Fellows, Whitney Jibben (Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota), Niki Delson (Community Volunteer with Age-Friendly Carbondale, Colorado), and Ariel Hamburger (Sustainability Planner with County of San Diego, California).
