Dr. Elliot Fishman Email and Phone Number

After establishing the Institute in mid-2005, we have become one of Australia's leading consultancies to government on sustainable mobility. Our focus areas include disruptive transport innovation, transport technology, place making, street re-design, shared mobility, electric mobility and bicycle planning. Undertaking a diverse range of projects, my role at the Institute includes:• The impact of disruptive transport innovation (e.g. Uber, autonomous vehicles) on transport behaviour and required responses from local and state government.• Electric vehicle policy and charging infrastructure planning for government.• Fleet transition plans and net-zero emission transport policy.• Technical lead on a diverse range of transport projects commissioned by state and local government, including cost benefit analyses of walking and cycling, integration of cycling and public transport, and disruptive transport technology policy (e.g. autonomous vehicles, ride sharing).• Geospatial analyses of fuel price vulnerability in regional and urban areas of Australia.• Briefing Ministers (including the Prime Minister) on sustainable transport issues. • Organising and facilitating large scale professional development seminars with leading transport academics and practitioners, such as Professors’ Donald Shoup, Graham Currie and Allan Fels AO, as well as Todd Litman and Tom Vanderbilt. This role has demonstrated my ability to professionally manage sectors with divergent interests (e.g. taxi industry and Uber).• Bike share feasibility studies for City governments, including Sydney, Adelaide and Perth.

The role involves curriculum development, delivery of lectures, tutorial facilitation and grading for Integrated Transport Planning.COURSE DESCRIPTION:This course asks students to study the theory and practice of transport and land use planning in urban areas. The course aims to give students an overview of an area that is frequently controversial, and encourages students to read widely and think critically. Transport planning is a field characterised by strongly held views that are rarely subjected to serious scrutiny and by a tendency for ‘spin’ to take the place of serious policies and plans. The intention of this course is to canvass a range of views and approaches.OBJECTIVES/LEARNING OUTCOMES/CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT:Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:• Critically analyse the origins of current ideas about transport and land use planning• Identify procedures that have been developed for planning transport and land use• Describe the major international trends and debates in the area• Recognise the key issues associated with transport and land use planning• Contextualise the history and practice of transport and land use planning in Melbourne and in an international context

My role involves developing and undertaking multidisciplinary research focused on creating urban environments conducive to healthy living. Specific areas of interest include:* Dutch transport innovation * Electric bicycles* Bike share systems* Health impacts of travel behaviour* Integration of bicycle riding with public transport* Transport program evaluation and benefit cost analysis* Supervision of PhD students* Formulating questions and marking student examinations for Transport Geography* Guest lecturing

During Semester 2, 2013, Elliot acted as a tutor and guest lecturer for Integrated Transport Planning students.

Elliot was responsible for leading research and publication development at the Cycling Promotion Fund, as well communicating with the media, including national television and radio.
