Transportation safety managers are invited to a TRB webinar on Tuesday, September 24, 2019, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET. The U.S. and individual states have made strides in improving transportation systems in areas such as operations and safety. Further management improvements may lead to safer roads for all citizens. This webinar will summarize safety management research presented during the TRB Annual Meeting in January 2019. Presenters will describe a safety planning approach for pedestrians, discuss implementing safety improvement plans, and explain how to generate public support.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Transportation Safety Management.

Some registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar.  Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
