TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, February 4, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that discussed ways to interpret and respond to the high rates of fatalities and severe injuries among American Indians from crashes. This webinar shared results from a study being conducted in collaboration with several tribal governments in Minnesota, which included findings about best practices, successful interventions, and other lessons learned about policies and management strategies to address those risks effectively and reduce harm.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Native American Transportation Issues. Participants must register in advance of the webinar, and there is no fee to join this webinar. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual.
