Understanding Roadway Safety Data

A CT ROAD SCHOLAR PROGRAM ELECTIVE WORKSHOP

A CT MUNICIPAL LEGAL TRAFFIC AUTHORITY PROGRAM ELECTIVE WORKSHOP

Understanding your community's roadway safety challenges is the first step in developing a plan to improve safety. Data analysis helps to identify safety issues and their causes so that municipalities can utilize their resources to maximize effect.

This session is an opportunity to roll up your sleeves and learn how to use data to make informed decisions about roadway safety in your community. We will review the latest tools available from the CT Transportation Safety Research Center, learn how to use the CT Crash Data Repository and work with personalized reports so you can begin the process of identifying your community's roadway safety challenges.

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for municipal personnel who serve in the capacity of their municipality's Legal Traffic Authority and others who have responsibility for making roadway safety decisions.

Directors of Public Works, Town Engineers, Law Enforcement Professionals, Legal Traffic Authorities and Chief Elected Officials are encouraged to attend.

We encourage you to come as small multi-disciplined teams of 2-3 so you can discuss your community's data and begin to develop a plan.
