Post Crash Care: Big League Safety Part 2

Thursday, July 17th, 1:00 – 3:00 pm ET/11am-1 pm MT

In this webinar (part 2), you will learn about:

  • The impetus in creating a Post Crash Care/First Responder Liaison program. This Kansas Department of Transportation program is modeled after the Law Enforcement Liaison programs that have been popular throughout the nation.
  • Noteworthy practices in Maine, such as high-speed internet on ambulances, digital alerting, collaborations for messaging on dynamic message signs, and analysis of their lights and sirens study.
  • The need/importance of keeping first responders safe and stopping secondary crashes. The national Responder Safety Learning Network will share resources for traffic incident management training, and move over slow down public awareness.
  • Unique County Traffic Safety Commissions in Wisconsin review fatality and serious injury crashes to identify trends and countermeasures to reduce the number of and severity of crashes in the future. Local stakeholders having near real-time access to crash data plays a critical role in this process.

Transit as a Safety Strategy

Thursday, August 21st, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET/11am-12:30 pm MT

On your road to zero, have you considered public transit as a strategy? If not, then this is the webinar for you! Public transit is considered one of the safest ways to travel, being ten times safer per mile than a car. Additionally, it decreases congestion, reduces the number of vehicles on the road, provides mobility for those who cannot or choose not to drive, and is a way to connect multiple modes of travel. In this webinar, we will examine a case study from Colorado and hear about how their state and regional systems work together to keep communities and tourists alike moving safely.
