Conversations With Colleagues

2026 Conversations with Colleagues Schedule

• Tuesday, March 17, 2026 - Micromobility Count Data  with  Karl Buck, FHWA 

FHWA's Karl Buck gave a brief presentation about counting Micromobility, including walking, cycling, and scootering, followed by discussion. See our YouTube Channel for a recording, and slides are available here.

• June 16, 2026 - Infrastructure data - GATIS in Action: From Data to Decisions 

You can see recordings of past conversations with colleagues here.

• October 29, 2026 - Walking and cycling infrastructure data with Geoff Boeing (author of OSMnx) - 1PM Eastern (10AM Pacific)

Join us for a talk with Geoff Boeing, creator of OSMnx and Associate Professor and Chair of  the Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis at the University of Southern California, on using OpenStreetMap (OSM) and the OSMnx Python package to acquire,  analyze, and visualize active transportation networks. Geoff will walk through how practitioners and researchers can pull bike and pedestrian infrastructure data directly from OSM, clean and structure it for analysis, and use OSMnx's tools to study network  connectivity, gaps, and accessibility. Whether you're evaluating existing bike/ped networks, planning new infrastructure, or exploring open-data workflows for transportation research, this session will offer practical, hands-on insight into a powerful and freely available toolset.

Teams Meeting Link is here. 

• December 15, 2026, 2PM Eastern - Micromobility data and classification for safety - speed, micromobility types

The committee's long-term goals are to disseminate recent research and to increase funding for new research to foster use of bicycle and pedestrian data. As always, if there is a particular discussion that you are interested in having during these sessions, please let us know. Contact the CWC organizing team - Nathan Hicks (Nathan.Hicks1@hdrinc.com), Tony Hull (tony@civilstreet.com) or Will Rogers (wrogers@gnrc.org).
