Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at 11:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST Guiding motorists
through work zones safely and efficiently is a critical challenge in traffic
management, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of work zone design
principles. This webinar aims to engage traffic engineers, planners, and road
safety professionals with the fundamental knowledge required to develop,
implement, and manage work zones that minimize disruptions and maintain safety
for both workers and road users. This webinar is designed for participants that
have direct responsibility for design of work zones or provide maintenance of
traffic review feedback. Participants will learn about the key elements of work
zone design, including the layout of signs and barriers, the use of traffic
control devices, and the integration of technological tools to enhance
communication and safety. The session will also cover strategies for effective
traffic management around work zones, ensuring that vehicle and pedestrian
flows are handled smoothly. |
Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 9:00 am to 9:45 am AKST While we
can’t tackle everything at once, we can focus first on the areas
facing the most serious safety challenges and the communities most affected.
Join Vision Zero
Network for a focused, 45-minute webinar during which will highlight how
communities are leveraging tools like High Injury Networks (HINs), demographic
and health data, and community input — to pinpoint where action is most
urgently needed and what strategies work best.
Whether you’re just
launching Vision Zero efforts or refining your existing strategy, this session
will offer actionable ideas for shifting from one-off fixes to a more systemic,
equity-centered approach to safe mobility. |
Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 10:00 am to 11:30 am AKST As automated vehicle technology becomes more prevalent,
understanding how human drivers and pedestrians interact with it is essential
for ensuring roadway safety. Join us at this webinar to learn how U of M
researchers explored this interaction on the Med City Mover pilot project led by the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT). The study examined real-world driver behavior around low-speed
automated shuttles in downtown Rochester, Minnesota, with a focus on pedestrian
safety and yielding behaviors.
You'll also hear updates on MnDOT’s broader connected and automated vehicle
(CAV) initiatives, including the state’s ongoing efforts to integrate
automation into Minnesota’s transportation network. Tune in to get valuable
insights on the future of automated mobility! |
Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 10:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST Local
Road Safety Plans (LRSPs) are proven to save lives on rural roads. They offer a
foundation for consensus and focus that helps communities take proactive steps
to reduce and prevent severe crashes in their communities. This training will
provide an overview of an LRSP, including how they support safety efforts, the
steps to develop an LRSP, and the strategies for implementing an LRSP in rural
communities. |
Thursday, May 1, 2025 at 10:00 am to 11:00 am AKST Are you
tired of searching multiple websites and incomplete sources for safety campaign
ideas? Join us for an exclusive look at ITE’s groundbreaking Transportation
Safety Campaign Resource Hub—a centralized, information hub built by and for
safety advocates. In this webinar, you’ll discover how an idea created in LeadershipITE has transformed into a new ITE resource that tackles the common frustrations of disaggregated information, highlights what’s been successful and impactful, and fosters a supportive community dedicated to advancing transportation safety culture. Learn how to tap
into lessons learned, connect with peers, and quickly launch or enhance your
own campaigns with reliable data and proven strategies. Don’t miss this chance
to help shape a safer future—register now to be part of the conversation! |
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at 10:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST Data-driven
