Register now for the 2024 Equity in Roadway Safety webinar series.
This FHWA webinar series shares equitable strategies and tools implemented by state, regional, and local transportation agencies that can be integrated into programs and projects to close disparities in roadway fatalities on the way to our shared goal of zero deaths.
This year FHWA will highlight equitable design strategies, delve deeper into equitable data analysis tools, and share promising practices to improve roadway safety for people experiencing homelessness. Each of these sessions are scheduled from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm PT.
May 22, 2024 – Equitable Data Analysis
Learn about the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Syndromic Surveillance Data from Vaughn Barry and Miriam Van Dyke and the Fatality and Injury Reporting System Tool (FIRST) database from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Anders Longthorne. CDC’s Syndromic Surveillance Data provides access to real time serious roadway injury data. The FIRST tool allows users to create custom queries using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), disaggregate it by race, and map the results.
July 24, 2024 – Roadway Safety for People Experiencing Homelessness
Learn about promising practices to improve roadway safety for people experiencing homelessness. Hear from Texas Department of Transportation (DOT), Hawaii DOT and the City of San José DOT about how they are using DOT resources to support transitional housing, connecting people experiencing homelessness with services, training staff with skills to meaningfully engage and interact with people experiencing homelessness, and collecting and disaggregating safety data by housing status.
American Psychological Association and other professional development certifications will be available. Information will be shared during the webinars.
Register for the next two Equity in Roadway Safety Webinars on Zoom.
