The university is now one of a few elite institutions in the nation that plans and builds space missions for NASA. It has its own clean rooms for constructing space vehicles, has a mission control room, and in the near future whole space missions may be run from campus. Learn more about ASU’s impact on national and international space exploration, in both the public and private sectors. 26 Building up sustainability ASU’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability is known widely as a preeminent center for research on sustainable practices. What is less recognized is that ASU’s campus buildings themselves serve as research subjects in the quest for sustainability. University researchers are not only pushing forward new ideas about how to create structures in which humans can live and work in a way that doesn’t put future generations at risk, they also are changing the nature of the field itself.

    Developing Guidelines for a Collaborative Open Source Trishaw Platform An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By: Errica Cheng Ben Draper Jadon Laforest Megan Ouellette Michaela Sorrento Date: October 15, 2020 Report Submitted To: Ole Kassow Pernille Bussone Cycling Without Age Professor Alex Sphar Professor Gary Pollice Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects GUIDELINES FOR AN OPEN SOURCE TRISHAW PLATFORM Abstract Cycling Without Age (CWA) is an organization that provides the elderly with trishaw rides to help them remain active. Trishaws are three wheeled bikes with front passenger seating. Some volunteers lack trishaws due to many constraints. Our goal is to provide CWA with a design for a web-based community platform. This open source platform will accommodate trishaw purchases or design downloads for significantly less money. Through interviews, surveys, and strategic observation, we identified desired platform features, user motivations, and interests. i GUIDELINES FOR AN OPEN SOURCE TRISHAW PLATFORM Acknowledgements There were key individuals that provided significant support to the planning and execution of this project and are recognized here. Project Advisors Professor Alex Sphar and Professor Gary Pollice provided guidance and advice throughout this report, which we utilized to improve the quality and organization of our writing and overall project.

  • Windsor Bike Share Feasibility Study Final Project Report
    Windsor Bike Share Feasibility Study Final Project Report March 12, 2019 File: 4325.0001.03 #201 - 179 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0S1 | T: 204-259-0094 This report is prepared for the sole use of the City of Windsor. No representations of any kind are made by Urban Systems Ltd. or its employees to any party with whom Urban Systems Ltd. does not have a contract. © 2019 URBANSYSTEMS®. Windsor Bike Share Feasibility Study Executive Summary Bike sharing provides members with temporary access to a bicycle, through payment for short-term rental periods. Modern bike share systems are generally operated as either docked or dockless systems. • Docked bike share systems provide users with access to bikes that are located throughout a sophisticated network of stations within a specified service area. • Dockless bike share systems eliminate the need for docking stations by integrating GPS units and locking mechanism on bicycles, enabling bikes to be parked anywhere within a designated service area. A significant evolution in the bike share industry has occurred recently that has redefined the equation for municipalities. As recent as two years ago, bike share systems were funded in large part by municipalities who often coordinated (with or without the aid of non-profit agencies or corporate sponsors) the acquisition of stations and bicycles as well as the planning and operation of services. By contrast, emerging bike share systems are generally 100% funded and operated by private actors, with minimal to no cost to cities, shifting municipalities into the role of a partner and regulator as opposed to a service provider.

    Capital Improvement Plan 2018-2020 FISCAL YEARS 2018-2020 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS SEPTEMBER 2016 Dear Members of the Arizona Board of Regents: On behalf of Arizona State University, I am pleased to present the ASU FY 2018-2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). ASU continues to make meaningful progress in its evolution as a model for 21st century higher education, dedicated to access, excellence and impact. In keeping with the ambitious trajectory reflected in the ASU Strategic Enterprise Framework and the ASU Campus Master Plan, the projects proposed in this CIP focus on addressing the need for sustainable facilities that support the achievement of our institutional objectives. For this CIP, ASU has set as an FY 2018 priority a new, energy-efficient parking structure that will be located adjacent to the core of the Tempe campus and downtown Tempe. The multi-tiered structure will replace existing surface parking that will be displaced by planned new development on this site. This project is intended to provide students, faculty and staff with a high-quality facility that will enable their success and support the key elements of ASU’S Strategic Enterprise Framework, including: - Achieving a 57 percent increase in degree production - Establishing national standing in academic quality and the impact of colleges and schools in every field - Enhancing local impact and social embeddedness - Expanding research performance to $815 million in annual research expenditures by 2025 Details regarding this proposed project can be found in the Three-Year Capital Improvement Plan and the FY 2018 Project Description tab.

    ARIZONA PBS REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Dear friends, As one of the last local, independent voices in our media landscape, we exist to tell the stories of Arizona. Our communities rely on us for news and public affairs coverage, high-quality children’s content, arts programming and much more. We know our audience well, and we take great care and great pride in serving you. We’re proud to be one of the most highly watched and highly rated stations in the public television system. One of our highlights in 2017-18 was being recognized for our Educational Outreach work by the Rocky Mountain Region of the National Academy of Television Sciences, which honored Arizona PBS with the prestigious Governors’ Award. Our Outreach work is a core part of our mission, both on-air and in communities across the state, and we were thrilled to see it recognized. Our Educational Outreach team spans the entire state of Arizona and impacts children of all backgrounds. We help educators improve their skills and make effective use of PBS KIDS materials. We help prepare preschoolers for kindergarten through educator workshops and camps. And we work with dozens of community-based organizations to further our goal of improving life for Arizona’s children. While our Educational Outreach team is busy across the state, we also air safe, educational children’s programming on both our main channel and 24/7 on Arizona PBS KIDS. From education to news to arts and beyond, we are constantly looking for ways to serve our communities in a significant and meaningful way.
