Understanding Roadway Safety Data
A 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 maximum effect.
 
This session is an opportunity to roll your sleeves up 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.

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.
