Land Use as a Fundamental Safety Strategy
Tuesday, December 16 | 11:00 am - 12:30 pm PT | Register now
Description
This webinar will examine how land use and transportation strategies can improve road safety by reducing exposure to systemic risk. It will center on examples from public agencies, highlighting how they are applying land use and transit considerations to improve transportation safety outcomes.
The conversation will identify where development patterns create safety challenges and how socioeconomic factors such as mode choice and affordable housing can create safer multimodal systems. The session will also explore how bringing these population-scale, upstream interventions into the Safe System approach supports proactive, human-centered strategies aimed at eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on our roads.
