Mobility | Accessibility | Sustainability
Welcome! You are about to embark one of the most avant-garde conference experiences of your professional career. The
International Conference on Transport and Health (ICTH) is based on a conceptual framework of experiential
learning complemented by cross-disciplinary and multi-sector team collaboration. Unlike the traditional
conference paradigm, ICTH does not have panel discussions and the sessions are not moderated. Instead,
researchers, practitioners and students from different countries own and develop each accepted abstract
session as a team, working together remotely, long before they meet in-person. Sessions are made up of
standard oral, pecha kucha and poster presentations with several including a planned interactive activity meant
to engage audience members.
ICTH 2018-Mackinac Island challenges the scientific status quo. The specific aim is to get you to see things
differently by creating opportunities for new experiences and innovation. Catch you off guard with the
unexpected. Break down cultural barriers. Allow your imagination the freedom to explore the possibilities of
what could be out of what is and the courage to appreciate the art and natural rhythm in every proposal
application, community project or professional interaction. We hope you have a truly unique experience and
make a few lasting friendships along the way.
A special ‘Thank You’ to all of the people who dedicated their time and talent to making
ICTH 2018 – Mackinac Island possible!

Keynote Speakers Monday, 25 June 11:30 – 12:30
The Honorable Ray LaHood Secretary (Former) US Department of Transportation (2009-2013)
Ray LaHood served as the 16th Secretary of Transportation from January 23, 2009 to July 2, 2013. In nominating him, President-elect Obama said, “Few understand our infrastructure challenge better than the outstanding public servant that I’m asking to lead the Department of Transportation.” Secretary LaHood’s primary goals in implementing President Obama’s priorities for transportation included safety across all modes, restoring economic health and creating jobs, sustainability, shaping the economy of the coming decades by building new transportation infrastructure, and assuring that transportation policies focus on
people who use the transportation system and their communities. Secretary LaHood led the Department of Transportation’s aggressive national campaign to end the dangerous practice of distracted driving, and specifically texting and cell phone use behind the wheel. In 2009, only 18 states had laws against texting and driving. When Secretary LaHood left office, 41 states, D.C., Guam, and the Virgin Islands banned texting while driving, and 10 states, D.C., Guam, and the Virgin Islands banned all hand-held cell phone use behind the wheel. Before becoming Secretary of Transportation, LaHood served for 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives from the 18th District of Illinois (from 1995-2009). During that time he served on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the House Appropriations Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He also chaired four bipartisan retreats to help restore civility to the House of Representatives. Prior to his election to the House, he served as Chief of Staff to House Republican Leader Robert Michel, whom he succeeded in representing the 18th District, and as District Administrative Assistant to Congressman Thomas Railsback. He also served in the Illinois State Legislature.

HOT TOPIC WORKSHOP: Putting the Pieces Together: The Art and Science of Data Storytelling
Atrium
Hosted by: Adnan Mahmud of LiveStories
How can we tell great stories about transportation data? It’s difficult with a spreadsheet. Effective data
communication involves turning that raw data into charts and maps that reveal trends and insights. These
visualizations must be supported by a contextual framework that will guide readers and encourages
engagement. During this workshop, we will begin with an overview of data analysis and storytelling,
complemented by exploring indicators related to health and transport. Bring your laptop for hands on
activities and data exploration as we embark on the creation of a data story for your community.

The LongROAD study (Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers) is a multi-site
prospective cohort study designed to collect data on the medical, behavioral,
environmental, and vehicle technological factors influencing older adults’
driving. The LongROAD study collects naturalistic driving data from over several
years, coupled with a comprehensive set of questionnaires on various aspects of
driving. Actual medical data are compiled regularly from participants’ physician
reports and standardized behavioral assessments (assessing cognitive, motor,
and perceptual levels of functioning) conducted by trained technicians on
participants every alternating year of the study.

HOT TOPIC WORKSHOP: The Detroit Riverfront as Economic Driver: Vision and Partnerships to Fuel Transformation
Atrium
Sponsored by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill , LLP
Hosted by: Aaron May
The Detroit Riverfront has a long and evolving history of importance to the Detroit economy. It also has
illustrated its decline. The Riverfront is now playing an essential role in building toward Detroit’s future,
serving as an inclusive recreational resource integrated into the fabric of Detroiters’ lives, and providing new
and expanded housing opportunities and places to work. Its resurgence is an emblem of Detroit’s recovery,
and an important part of citywide efforts to retain and attract residents, fuel entrepreneurship, and restore
the larger economy. The workshop will explore the following questions:
1. How has the riverfront evolved since its industrial heyday? What has the impact been?
2. What has it taken to generate this transformation?
3. How does the Riverfront tie to broader efforts to grow Detroit’s economy, and neighborhoods?
4. How does the City now think about the Riverfront’s role in driving Detroit’s economy, and what are plans for the future?
5. How does this investment situate Detroit within the national landscape of waterfront development?

HOT TOPIC WORKSHOP: Autonomous Vehicles & Equity
Atrium
Hosted by: James Sayer, PhD
The promise of improving safety and providing convenience has been the mantra of highly automated
vehicles. In addition, it is said to provide significant improvements in mobility for the most vulnerable of
road users such as the disabled who experience limitations due to physical, perceptual, or cognitive
impairments; the elderly; and children. While the potential to realize these benefits remains significant for
this broad sector of the population, the vast majority of automated vehicle developments to date have
focused on technological capabilities and improved mobility for those currently able to drive themselves. With that said, this
workshop will present a number of practical design and logistical considerations associated with those challenged by the
current state of mobility, highlighting the need for greater consideration in future development of automated vehicles to serve
this population.

HOT TOPIC WORKSHOP: Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks Guide
Atrium
Hosted by: Paul Wojciechowski, PE, AICP, Alta Planning + Design
With the release of a new publication by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Small Town and
Rural Multimodal Networks Guide focuses on design guidelines that aim to improve bicycling and walking in
communities seeking solutions more tailored to their small town needs. This session will provide a look into
this idea book for smaller communities, with visualizations and guidance for contemporary walking and
biking facilities and offer ideas for correlation of engineering to health and wellness in small communities.
Based in FHWA and AASHTO guidance, the Small Town and Rural guide applies a flexible design approach to creating healthy
and active communities that offer more comfortable places for walking and biking. In addition to a preview of this guide, this
session will include recent examples of projects from small towns across the Midwest, and interactive working exercise to show
to apply design flexibility in this context.

A Brief History of Mission Point
Early Days of The Mission
After hundreds of years as a meeting place and home to a variety of local Native American tribes, the area now
known as Mission Point on Mackinac Island was first visited by French missionaries in 1634. Several decades after
Europeans were introduced to the east end of the island by local tribes, the first religious missions were
established on Mackinac Island, with the first birchbark chapel constructed in 1670.
Following a century of territorial disputes and changeovers between the British and French, during which the
Mackinac mission was moved to various locations on the mainland, a mission was permanently established on the
island in 1780. In 1825, construction of the Mission House was completed, and the multi-story structure flourished
as the center of a community, complete with a residential boarding school, chapel and enjoyed its reputation as a
peaceful place for local tribes to meet with traveling traders and each other. From this period on, the east point of
the island became known as Mission Point.
From Outpost to International Retreat Destination
From the early 19th century to the 1930s, the Mission District
grew to include a thriving community of homes and cottages, and
was home to several lodging houses, including the Mission House
Hotel, which opened in the original Mission House building in
1849. Visitors began flocking to the island as a summer resort in
the late 1800s, and the Mission House Hotel served as one of the
island’s original vacation destinations.
In the early 1940s, several groups began hosting a growing
number of religious retreats in the buildings and cottages at
Mission Point, leading to the establishment in the 1950s of a permanent international retreat center. Attracting
visitors from around the globe, including prominent leaders and heads of state, development of the property
increased in size and scope, leading to the construction of state-of-the-art performance spaces, premium guest
rooms, and a campus designed for comfort, calm and fellowship among visitors. Many of the amenities created
during this period still exist today, updated and upgraded to enhance the Mission Point experience.
Mackinac College – Best in Class
During the late 1960s, Mackinac University was created at Mission Point as
a private liberal arts college, admitting 113 students to its first (and only)
four-year class, lasting from 1966 to 1970. Existing buildings were deeded
to the college, and a modern-style library building was constructed on what
is now the Great Lawn. Though the college’s home reverted to recreational
lodging and retreat facilities after the sole graduating class received their
diplomas in 1970, the memory of Mackinac College lives on to this day in
regular class reunions, which remain well-attended and enthusiastically
celebrated by the returning graduates, hosted every four years at Mission
Point Resort.
The Transition from Retreat to Resort
Starting in the mid-1970s, the various buildings and facilities at Mission Point changed hands and purposes a
number of times, shifting between retreat center to tourist attraction, back to part-time college, and even as a
sound stage for broadcast and film performances. For the 1979 film “Somewhere in Time,” starring Jane Seymour,
Christopher Plummer and Christopher Reeve, massive sets were erected on the Mission Point grounds, and the
indoor sound stages originally created for filming song, dance and drama performances by retreat participants
were used for principal filming, with many cast and crewmembers staying at what was then the Inns of Mackinac.
However, despite multiple attempts over the years to establish and maintain a viable hotel at Mission Point, the
demands of upkeep and constant care required to sustain a successful business led to a series of changing owners
and unfinished plans, lasting until the arrival of John Shufelt.
An Institution is Born – Mission Point Resort, Est. 1987
Upon acquiring the property and buildings at the east end of the Mission Point in 1987, John Shufelt immediately
became a local hero by demolishing the rapidly declining Mackinac College library building, uniting the verdant,
four-acre expanse of the Great Lawn, as well as reclaiming the Great Lawn’s status as one of Mackinac Island’s most
memorable destinations by adding the now-iconic Adirondack chairs that dot the lawn from the circle drive to the
point. Officially renamed Mission Point Resort, Shufelt’s efforts to bring together the natural beauty of The Mission,
to restore and repurpose the eclectic collection of historic buildings, and to provide modern amenities established
Mission Point Resort as a full-service resort operating on Mackinac Island. Over the next 27 years, Shufelt and the
Mission Point staff earned the resort’s reputation each season as a favorite with island visitors from near and far,
throughout the Midwest and around the globe.
Coming Home to Michigan - and to Mission Point
In 2014, Michigan native Denny Ware and his wife Suzanne purchased Mission Point Resort, feeling the pull of
home in the natural beauty of the island, and seeing great potential in the future of the resort and the entire island
community. With Denny capping off a career as a successful business leader and sharing a passion for restoration
and renovation with his wife and family, the Wares bring decades of experience and success to the task of ushering
Mission Point Resort into the next stage of its storied history as one of Mackinac Island’s crown jewels.
Preserving the Past While Making History – The Best is Yet to Come
Showcasing their commitment to the stewardship of the resort, the Ware family will begin the 2018 season by
unveiling the completion of a $5-million, four-year project to overhaul and renovate all 108 guest rooms and suites
in the Main Lodge, as well as a full update of the electrical systems and utilities. More noticeable to long-time
guests, however, may be the resort’s revitalized décor, featuring a brighter palette of colors to reflect the bright
skies and vibrant, natural hues of the island itself. Another major addition over the last few years is the Wares’
development of Mission Point’s full-service spa, reflecting the resort’s commitment to wellness and relaxation.
With much more on the drawing board and currently in the works, Mission Point Resort’s future looks as bright,
beautiful and boundless as the vistas on display from the Great Lawn - available to any of Mackinac Island’s
residents and visitors from a comfortable Adirondack chair.
