    Presentation Details:

    In March 2024, the Omaha Streetcar Authority (OSA) Board of Directors approved an order for six new streetcar vehicles from Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (known as CAF). The total contract is for $41.1 million ($6.85 million per streetcar, plus the spare parts for regular maintenance). This presentation will cover the details of the streetcars that Omaha is getting, which are the latest in international “tramway” design. Specific new technology details include new next-stop displays, enhanced safety, system upgrades, an Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS), and Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automated Vehicle Location (CAD-AVL).

    The presentation will cover how the streetcars will look and feel to riders as they move about the different stops and how they will be maintained at the new facility on the Riverfront. It will also cover a brief history of past streetcar vehicles in Omaha, rail transit vehicles built locally (near Omaha) and some information on other streetcars and CAF vehicles in the United States.

    Presenters:

    Our presenters are Eric Miller, AICP, Streetcar Operations Manager for the City of Omaha, and Ben Titus, PE, PMP, Transit Engineer with Jacobs (vehicle consultant on the streetcar project).

    Eric Miller has been in the transit industry since 2004 and has held numerous positions with private consulting firms and at the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD), primarily with transit operations planning projects. While at Denver, Eric helped plan and implement the operations for nine new rail lines or extensions over 14 years and has worked for many other transit agency clients as a consultant including New York City, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

    Ben Titus has been a transit vehicle consultant since 2007 for various companies (Eric and Ben worked for the same consultant company in 2018-2021) with experience guiding many transit agencies through new train procurements from concept development, through design review, and testing and commissioning.  He is professional mechanical engineer and project management professional.

    The Engineers Club of Omaha will be hosting our 11th annual golf tournament at Tara Hills Golf Course, Papillion, NE. Proceeds from the event will go to the Engineers Club of Omaha scholarship program. Last year, the tournament raised $13,000 which allowed the club to increase scholarships awarded this spring!

    Enjoy complimentary breakfast from 8-9 a.m. and a banquet following golf in the clubhouse!

    Our goal this year is to register 36 teams and raise $20,000 to provide even more student scholarships in 2026. We couldn't do this without the generous support of our members and sponsors!

    The tournament is a 4 person "scramble" format. Entry fee includes - 18 hole green fee, cart rental, a meal, and 2 drink tickets. The option to purchase "mulligans" and other advantages will also be made available to keep the event fun and interesting. This event will be rain or shine.
