Module 15: Emerging Evacuation Standards of Communication/Incident Management (ISO 19083)
Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2016
Time: 12-2 PM Eastern, 11AM-1PM Central, 10AM-12PM Mountain, 9-11AM Pacific
Register: https://attendee.gototraining.com/r/6055478202391785985
Target Audience:
1. Public transit executives
2. Public transit operations managers
3. Public transit planning managers
4. Emergency operations managers
5. First Responders
6. State/Regional Emergency Management Staff
Course Description: The goal of the Emergency Evacuation Standard of Communication/ Incident Management ISO 19083 standard is to save lives and aid recovery by using ITS technologies to coordinate a comprehensive transportation response to disaster. This includes evacuating people out of harm’s way and providing transportation support for all response to and recovery efforts from major disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, or catastrophic accidents.
The ISO 19083 standard recommends public transport serve as the primary mobility agent for all transportation-related coordinated actions before, during and after a disaster. This represents a paradigm shift from past response and recovery efforts, which typically see transportation-related activities coordinated by emergency managers who rely on traffic managers and public transport operators to provide the services.
The purpose of Module 15 is to introduce Emerging Evacuation Standard of Communication/Incident Management ISO 19083 standard-based framework, used to identify participating organization roles and responsibilities, establishing criteria for use of public transport, and support the development of an Emergency Evacuation and Disaster Response and Recovery (EEDRR) Decision Support System (DSS). The module also identifies guidelines to improve coordination among regional authorities when public transport disaster support is required.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the Elements of the Emergency Evacuation and Disaster Response and Recovery (EEDRR) Framework.
2. Explain roles and responsibilities of organizations (including Public Transport) in EEDRR.
3. Use Concept of Operations Template for specifying a Decision Support System for Public Transport Emergency Management.
4. Review Scenarios in which a Public Transport Emergency Management Decision Support System can be used.

Module 16: Introduction to Transit Enterprise Architecture and Its Benefits for Transit
Date: Monday, August 15, 2016
Time: 12-2 PM Eastern, 11AM-1PM Central, 10AM-12PM Mountain, 9-11AM Pacific
Register: https://attendee.gototraining.com/r/7161470351701990913
Target Audience:
1. Transit management staff
2. Project Managers
3. Transit IT staff
4. Transit ITS staff
5. Transit Enterprise Architects and System Designers
6. Process Improvement staff
7. Asset Management staff
8. Transit budgeting staff
9. Transit planning, operations, and maintenance staff
10. Metropolitan Organizations (MPOs) Staff/Decision Maker
Course Description: The use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) principles and tools provide managers and staff better visibility into the components of their organization and the overall relationships among their enterprise’s people, processes, applications, data and technology components. For example, by providing a system-wide view of aggregate transit ITS elements and their relationships, an EA supports better IT/ITS planning and operations, business process improvements, improved integration throughout the agency including data and systems, the consistent use of standards, and other benefits.
The purpose of Module 16 is to provide an introduction to Enterprise Architecture (EA) for transit managers and staff. It describes the four layers commonly seen in transit enterprise architectures: (1) the Business Architecture, (2) Data or Information Architecture, (3) Applications Architecture and (4) Technology Architecture. Potential architecture drivers, such as goals and standards are described along with their role. In an EA, the identification of connections between components in the different architecture layers and the architecture drivers, provide significant value to a transit agency. This module highlights a wide range of EA uses and benefits to a transit organization and its ITS efforts.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define what an Enterprise Architecture (EA) is.
2. Review the benefits to a transit organization of having an Enterprise Architecture (EA).
3. Describe the general process for creating a transit Enterprise Architecture (EA).
4. Articulate how use of EA principles can benefit a transit agency.
