Webinar: Safe System Approach Student Competition 2023 Project Showcase Date: October 5, 2023 Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET Cost: Free members/$79 non-members Organization: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) In 2021, 42,915 people died on U.S. roads. On January 27, 2022, USDOT released the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS), a comprehensive approach to reduce serious injuries and deaths on the Nation's highways, roads, and streets. Through the NRSS, USDOT committed to a national vision of zero roadway fatalities and identified priority actions it will take in pursuit of five Safe System objectives: Safer People, Safer Roads, Safer Vehicles, Safer Speeds, and Post-Crash Care. ITE is a strong supporter of the NRSS and will continue to be a strong advocate for use of the Safe System Approach. ITE believes that our students can play an important role on implementing Safe System Approach strategies to save lives. This video competition, led by the ITE Safety Council, is a professional development opportunity for ITE student chapters interested in learning more about the Safe System Approach, networking with transportation safety professionals, and increasing awareness of Safe System solutions to improve safety in our roads This webinar includes presentations for the Safe System Approach Student Competition winners. Each presentation discusses a case study that highlights principles and elements of the Safe System Approach. For more information about this training, click here.

The findings from five research studies will be presented to share what was learned regarding the detectability, discriminability, and usability of individual and systems of tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) to provide guidance across a range of diverse transportation settings, including at quick-build curb extensions and floating transit stops. This webinar will begin with Beezy Bentzen clarifying the important differences between these three types TWSIs for pedestrians who are vision disabled, and continue with brief summaries of research conducted in Raleigh NC, Sarasota, FL, Alexandria, VA, and Seattle, WA, on use of TDIs for finding hard-to-find crosswalks and aligning to cross, and research in San Francisco to identify a surface to be used as a delineator between pedestrians and bicycles at separated bicycle lanes at sidewalk level. Kevin Jensen will present examples of installations of TWDs in San Francisco. Sarah O'Brien will introduce work on two projects, TCRP B-46 Tactile Walking Surface Indicators to Aid Wayfinding for Visually Impaired Travelers in Multimodal Travel, and FHWA TOPR HEPH210023PR Informational Report on Accessibility at Innovative New and Quick- Build Pedestrian and Bicycle Designs. Alan Scott will summarize the results of research under these projects, which was conducted in Chapel Hill, NC, Seattle, WA, Charlotte, NC and Washington, DC.
