Event: National Teen Driver Safety Week
Date: October 16-22, 2016
Organization: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 14-18 year olds in the US. In fact, in 2014, there were 2,614 teen (15-19 year old) passenger vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes and an estimated 130,000 were injured. Yet, a recent survey shows that only 25% of parents have had a serious talk with their kids about the key components of driving. Parents need to take the time to talk with their kids about the many dangers of driving. Those dangers include alcohol, seat belts, texting, speeding, and extra passengers.

Webinar: Perceptions and Impacts of Speeding Laws and Policies in Minnesota
Date: September 15, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute
Numerous studies have shown that driving at a speed that exceeds the design speed of a road-and that wide variations of speeds between drivers-can increase the number and severity of crashes. To address this safety issue, states have passed laws regulating the speeds people may drive on a given road and have given law enforcement agencies the authority to enforce these laws. Despite this power, however, there is a lack of consensus and acceptance regarding the certainty and method of enforcing these laws. One particularly controversial method is automated speed enforcement (ASE).
This presentation will discuss the nature of the controversy, with a focus on why ASE has not been implemented in Minnesota. In addition, the presentation will raise the question of whether the certainty of punishment affects driving behavior and crashes, using Minnesota's "Dimler Law" as a starting point for that discussion.

Date: September 20, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: National Center for Safe Routes to School
Many children grow up walking and bicycling to school in rural communities across the country and Safe Routes to School initiatives are making it safer and easier for them to do so. However, small rural communities often have particular considerations when it comes to accessing funding and implementing Safe Routes to School and active transportation projects.
This webinar provides an overview of the needs for and benefits of Safe Routes to School in rural areas, explores the challenges that may arise, and describes ways for State Departments of Transportation to support these communities in using key Federal funding for active transportation projects. Speakers will highlight small rural communities where Federal funding has been successfully used to improve safety and accessibility for walking and bicycling.

Webinar: Accommodating Trucks in Innovative Design Intersections and Interchanges
Date: September 21, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
In an effort to maximize safety, better accommodate bicycle and pedestrian movements, and/or optimize motor vehicle flows, various states, counties, and municipalities that build and maintain the roadway networks are constructing new types of intersections and interchanges. Many of these connection points are also being designed to better accommodate truck movements, either by minimizing the negative impacts trucks can create in poorly-designed intersections or by easing truck movements in high truck volume locations.
This webinar will discuss the reasons why many different types of innovative intersections are becoming more popular across the United States, describe the state of the practice on how agencies are factoring in trucks and freight needs when planning and designing those intersections, and review on-going efforts in two states - Oregon and Ohio - that demonstrate how this is done within States at the program and project levels.

Webinar: Predictive Modeling of Rail Track Geometry Defects Toward Improved Safety and Maintenance
Date: September 22, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute
Track geometry defects have been identified as a major cause of train derailments. To maintain railroad safety, the Federal Railroad Administration has set track safety standards that require defects to be corrected or protected within a prescribed time limit. In current practice, track geometry cars classify the defects into two severity groups: yellow tags and red tags.
Although a large volume of measurement data is currently being collected, track deterioration is a complex stochastic process whose many factors may not be captured by the data. This presentation will outline research focused on developing probabilistic models that account for the stochastic nature of track geometry deterioration. The new predictive model for track geometry defects will make reliable predictions on when a yellow tag defect will turn into red tag. In addition to improving safety, this model could enable more efficient planning for track maintenance.

Webinar: The Pursuit of Equity: Analyzing Vehicle and Pedestrian Crashes in Low-income and Minority Communities
Date: September 27, 2016
Time: 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET
Cost: $149 members/ $199 non-members
Organization: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Communities are often unsure of which walkability reforms to focus on, how to prioritize investments, or what outcomes they can anticipate. There is also often confusion around how to define transportation equity and how to properly analyze inequities once a definition of equity has been agreed to. This webinar will highlight research done to analyze regional patterns of vehicle-pedestrian crash data for disparities in New Jersey, comparing regional benchmarks against patterns observed in places of low-opportunity including the region's racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty and communities of concern. It will also cover the Microscale Audit for Pedestrian Streetscape (MAPS) Mini tool, a tool that assesses the activity-friendliness of streets, sidewalks and crossings, and identifies specific features that are feasible to modify and related to physical activity.

Webinar: Analyzing Indiana Crash Data to Inform Traffic Safety Policy and Program Development
Date: September 29, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute
Designing and implementing effective data-driven traffic safety policies and programs requires complex approaches to analyzing Indiana crash data and other related data sets. This presentation will discuss applied research methods and highlight research findings that, in partnership with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), informed changes in policy and/or legislation in an effort to reduce fatalities and injuries in motor vehicle crashes. Each year, the traffic safety research team at the Indiana University Public Policy Institute collaborates with ICJI to analyze vehicle crash data from the Automated Reporting Information Exchange System, maintained by the Indiana State Police. This ongoing partnership began in 2006.
Research findings are summarized in an annual series of fact sheets on various aspects of traffic collisions, a publication that provides detailed analyses of crash variables and the geography of Indiana traffic collisions, and traffic safety dashboards for Indiana counties and Indiana State Police post regions. These applied research products serve as the analytical foundation of traffic safety program planning and design in Indiana. These analyses highlight traffic safety problems that assist stakeholders in making recommendations for effective policies and provide necessary information for the state to apply for federal funding to support traffic safety program improvements.

Training: Designing Safer Roads for Pedestrians and Vulnerable Road Users
Date: September 20, 2016
Location: College Park, MD
Organization: University of Maryland, Maryland Transportation Technology Transfer Center
Vulnerable road users (VRU) are susceptible to traffic injuries and fatalities, perhaps more so than drivers. Yet we design highways for the mobility of cars sometimes neglecting the needs of the most vulnerable, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, transit users and others. This course instructed by Juan M. Morales, P.E. will teach participants how to diagnose pedestrian (and other VRU) safety deficiencies and select the appropriate countermeasures to make conditions safer for all users including an overview of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA)accessibility requirements. Engineering countermeasures will be emphasized but education and enforcement countermeasures will also be covered.
