Where should our attention be focused to reduce the epidemic of traffic violence—The built environment? Drivers? Engineers and planners? Car culture? What IS car culture? Join us Feb 16 with Dr. Tara Goddard of Texas A&M to identify how “systems thinking” versus focusing on individual behavior affects approaches to problem definition, data collection, and changing behavior: https://trec.pdx.edu/events/professional-development/friday-transportation-seminar-02162023
Today, organizations are joining a USDOT call to action to make roadways safe for everyone by supporting the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) that includes #VisionZero, #SafeSystems, and safe walking, biking, and rolling for all.
A recent NRSS progress report details efforts in the last year and next steps: https://bit.ly/3RwH23h
Getting to zero fatalities and injuries will require everyone doing their part. Join the call and share specific actions here:

Panelists from Safe Streets Research & Consulting, Oregon Walks, & VHB will share more on research findings and guidance to help improve lighting and visibility. They will also discuss recommended practices from the FHWA Pedestrian Lighting Primer.

@garykrysztopik Hello! The safety and mobility implications of electric and electric-assisted devices (like e-bikes and e-scooters) on what has been conventionally thought of as dedicated ped/bike space is an area of current research interest. There is also a lot to consider in terms of the context around decision making for separating different modes, which would ideally consider user comfort and ability, along with size and speed of other shared users.
PBIC is happy to be here in the fediverse! Looking forward to participating on this platform with inspiring colleagues and partners and talking about #safe, #accessible, and #equitable #transportation #systems for those who #walk, #bike, and #roll!
