]]> El apoyo a la comunidad con herramientas y propuestas comunicacionales que influyan en la mejora de la experiencia de producci贸n y consumo de los elementos identificables en las comunas de la parroquia Manglaralto, para que se convierta una ruta atractiva, tanto para los moradores como para los turistas. El enfoque que se busca en la intervenci贸n es lograr que la parroquia prolongue su patrimonio tangible e intangible, por medio del reconocimiento de los elementos que lo conforman y la propagaci贸n de sus costumbres a los m谩s j贸venes. El planteamiento de actividades se basa en el an谩lisis de la realidad local, considerando la existencia de artes, oficios y materias primas de la zona, manteniendo un ambiente eco-amigable y utilizando los recursos que demuestren eficacia en su aplicaci贸n.

]]> The Coalition for Natural Learning (CNL) is a collaboration between Texas Tech University faculty, Texas state agencies, departments, and organizations. The coalition was created as a more formalized recognition of the ongoing multidisciplinary efforts between Dr. Kristi Gaines (Department of Design), Dr. Malinda Colwell (Human Development and Family Studies), Dr. Charles Klein, and Dr. Muntazar Monsur (Landscape Architecture). CNL engages with its partners through research, teaching, service, outreach & engagement through many forms such as publications and multidisciplinary partnerships.

The CNL has developed a number of strategic relationships and partnerships and each member of the team has expertise to contribute to the initiative. CNL has 1) created an OLE! Design and OLE! Inspector Guide, 2) developed materials to be used for statewide trade shows and presentations, 3) developed and implemented curriculum to train designers in best practices, 4) recruited designers and provided technical assistance, 5) served on the statewide OLE! leadership team, and 6) developed presentations shared with Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Association of Young Children, and other groups as requested. The work through the coalition is providing state agencies, community leaders, administrators, educators, students, and parents resources about utilizing natural environments to promote the socio-emotional, physical, and cognitive development of children. Texas Tech University will benefit by creating stronger multidisciplinary connections that can benefit the training of graduate and undergraduate students.

]]> A Product Design studio course from the University of Oregon took on the
Efficient Public Lighting Options project and worked to develop design concepts
that would meet Salem鈥檚 lighting needs and reduce their energy use. The tenweek
project focused on analyzing Salem鈥檚 current streetlighting and identifying
areas for improvement, and on generating lighting solutions that would address
areas that are lacking in the current lighting.

]]> Students in Tim Clark鈥檚 Product Design Studio (BFA 486) were asked develop a multimodal
urban transit app to serve users of TriMet鈥檚 public transit services. The purpose of a TriMet
transit app is to provide users with real time information needed to guide everyday mobility
choices, with the goal of minimizing travel time and costs to make public transit equally
accessible and flexible as private vehicles. An integrated transit app can help draw people out
of their private cars and onto transit, while also connecting transit to the communites that it
serves. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft innovated the taxi industry by demonstrating
that an improved customer experience and increased access to information through their app
interfaces. TriMet has the opportunity to do the same for transit through the development of
an integrated transit app. Over 70 different apps currently use TriMet鈥檚 open source data to
offer transit navigation systems, but none fully integrate the daily necessities of ticketing, trip
planner, geo-location, and user preferences.
Students used open data from existing transit, bike share, and ride-share programs to inform
the future development of an app for TriMet鈥檚 services. The proposed app provides real time
information of city maps, locations, transit system updates, traffic conditions, transit schedule,
bike share locations and availability, ride-share availability, parking locations and availability, as
well as overall trip fees. It also includes multiple features to enhance the rider experience, such
as gamification, personal analytics, multi-destination trip planning, and neighborhood profiles.
The app is envisioned as a planning tool that allows users to chart point-to-point trips using all
available resources. Potential sustainable benefits include support for active transportation,
improved access to urban mobility choices, reduced dependence on private vehicles and
technological advances. The development of an integrated transit app can incentivize transit
use, promote local businesses, and inform transit users about the communities where they live,
work, and play.
The class utilized five unique user profiles of TriMet services that represent different use cases
and service locations. Students analyzed each user profile to identify the potential needs
each user might expect from a transit app, and identified specific app features that could
be developed to meet those needs. Four of the user profiles and service communites are
presented in this report. These needs and features from each profile were then combined into a
presentation of potential mock-ups of a future TriMet mobile app that can deliver an integrated
and intuitive travel experience along the Southwest Corridor.
