Cleaner cities: Harnessing smarter mobility & urban planning

Transportation is still the highest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and one of the greatest carbon contributors globally. Governments and local authorities are continually researching ways to drive positive change through legislation and policy, and a large part of this will come down to urban mobility and transportation planning. To make the right decisions in these fields, we need the right data and measurement tools. Case in point: the Transportation Climate Impact Index by StreetLight Data. Their report uncovers how metros in the U.S. rank across eight key factors and reveals the major mobility trends impacting climate. In this episode, we discuss urban mobility and its role in climate change. We explore how to build a climate-resilient transportation system — one that offers social, environmental and commercial value. Our celebrated guests explain why urban mobility is one of the most critical areas of climate response, and more importantly, how we can better design our cities for greener futures with cleaner air and less traffic. Today, we’re speaking to Dr. Laura Schewel, CEO of StreetLight Data and VP of Transportation Software at Jacobs and Jenny Jones, Head of Transport Planning for Europe at Jacobs.

National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Lessons Learned Whitepaper

The global spread of electric vehicles (EVs) offers a promising solution to lowering carbon emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Successful integration of EVs heavily relies on the availability of charging infrastructure, a need addressed by the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. This new whitepaper from Jacobs explores the lessons learned from the implementation of EV charging infrastructure through the NEVI program, focusing on the key stages: planning, procurement, contracting, design, construction, and and operations and maintenance (O&M).

Building resilient utilities: Strategies for a climate-ready future

In an era of escalating climate change, utility systems are under unprecedented pressure. Join us for a compelling panel discussion where industry experts share proactive strategies to bolster resilience against severe weather events. Discover how water utilities are innovating to mitigate natural hazards and enhance system reliability in a changing climate. Resilience activities that will be discussed include performing natural hazard and climate vulnerability risk assessments to prioritize investments and developing design guidelines to address specific hazards such as flooding, extreme heat, wildfire and drought. The design guidelines typically go beyond existing regulatory requirements, such as elevating or flood proofing to higher elevations than typically required by ASCE or FEMA guidance. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and prepare for a more reliable and resilient future. Moderators: Laurens van der Tak, Water Resilience Director – Jacobs Yari Escobar, Sustainability and Resilience Transformation Manager – Jacobs Speakers: Robert Taylor, Energy Manager – WSSC Water Debbie Griner, Chief Resilience and Sustainability Officer – Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department Armin Munevar, Global Technologist for Water and Climate Resilience – Jacobs Download the presentation slide deck.
