SHAPE THE FUTURE OF NEXT GENERATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Well-planned infrastructure strengthens the resiliency, sustainability, and the economic viability and livability of communities. Offered by the University of Washington Department of Urban Design and Planning, the Master of Infrastructure Planning and Management online degree prepares you to lead the development of the next generation of critical infrastructure systems — improving security, and accessibility. Gain a broad understanding of the complexity and the interdependencies between infrastructure systems — communications, public health, water, energy, food and transportation — with a final project that allows you to showcase your acquired knowledge about an infrastructure issue of your choice.
PROGRAM FEATURES
- In-depth courses covering key topics such as infrastructure finance, emergency management, green infrastructure practices, urban mobility, climate change, urban informatics, geographic information systems, social equity and inclusion, and community resilience

Societal changes and the climate emergency are prompting us to reinvent the way we move and the impact of our mobility choices.
This issue is now at the heart of the challenges facing public decision-makers driven by more sustainable and intelligent innovations.
The transition to sustainable mobility will not happen without public actors and solution providers moving forward together to allow access to mobility in accordance with citizens’ needs and the need to limit its impact. Intermodality driven by MaaS, the structuring and use of data, new modes of mobility and the transformation of historical players are all avenues of reflection for all public and private players in the mobility ecosystem.
Join us on February 1st for the Sustainable Mobility Forum and pave the way for a more intelligent, efficient and inclusive mobility!
IT-TRANS is the leading International Conference and exhibition focused on IT solutions for Public Transport.
Since 2008, the biennial event co-organised by Messe Karlsruhe and UITP (The International Association of Public Transport) has brought decision-makers and industry experts together to exchange, discuss and redevelop digital solutions.
The 2022 edition of IT-TRANS will take place in person and online from 10 to 12 May 2022, in Karlsruhe, Germany.
You can attend the full experience on-site or attend a selection of the sessions online from wherever you happen to be. We are in the process of designing a safe and accessible event where our audience can come together safely.
Driverless transport isn’t simply a faraway dream. In fact, it’s already happening in innovative cities like Arlington, Texas, US and Kelheim, Germany.
Cities and transport authorities across the globe are using intelligent booking, routing and tracking software to seamlessly integrate autonomous vehicles (AVs) with existing transportation infrastructure across a wide variety of transport needs without sacrificing safety, equity or efficiency.
When deployed as part of public transport, AVs are more sustainable and accessible; and when designed and deployed efficiently, AVs can provide a useful service for riders, while enabling operators and automakers to maximise their autonomous investment.
Hear from our panel as they discuss these innovative partnerships in detail.
Speakers:
- Ann Foss, Principal Planner at the City of Arlington
- Jan Eller, Operations Principal at Via
- Meghan Grela, Autonomous Lead at Via
Join us to learn how to convene the right partners, secure funding, and start deploying AVs to meet real transport needs in your community.
