Course Details

Traffic-related fatalities and injuries have been on the rise for years, impacting all types of neighborhoods and road users. Learn about data-supported, context-matched solutions to the carnage on our streets. Come away with systematic solutions that can work for different budgets and contexts, as well as practical methods and tools to turn complex data into actionable recommendations. This session benefits every planner, engineer, designer, and civic representative who wants a path to finding the data needed to carry out this important work.

Presenters highlight why traffic safety matters and how it benefits everyone, showcasing what data tells us about protecting road users, especially those who are most vulnerable. Find out about a low-cost safety program that involves citizen scientists in creating safer conditions for walking, biking, and driving while generating valuable data. Address the challenges of bringing environmentally equitable, socially just transportation safety to places that have been underfunded and underserved by using innovative, data-driven safety countermeasures tailored to budgets of all sizes. If you want “safe travels” to be more than wishful thinking, this course is for you.
