Panelists - I’m going to give it a couple more minutes, then I’ll get us started

Good morning. This is Lois Goldman, Director of Long Range Planning at the NJTPA. So glad to be with you this morning

Good morning and welcome!

Will Yarzab Good morning

Just in case you missed it at the beginning: As attendees you are not able to talk but you can use the chat for STRATEGY (see screen footer), comments and for technical issues. You also have the Q&A box for questions. Welcome, again!

Hi Sarah :) recorded your strategy!

Designers of the system must include law makers as well as law enforcement

Yes we can hear

https://www.mdt.mt.gov/research/projects/trafficsafety-primer.shtml

We will have a few minutes for questions following Nic’s presentation. Use the Q&A feature to submit questions for Nic.

Traffic Safety Culture must also influence road designers

Just a reminder! Keep sending in your strategies with the label “Strategy: ”.

Strategy: Investigate DVRPC’s cell phone use policy for drivers and pursue education of all employees on safe driving.

Thank you! Recorded your strategy.

Thank you! Recorded your strategy.

Please use the Q&A box for questions so we can track them better. Thank you

Nice - finally including speed

That safety and infrastructure are separate budget silos is the problem

We will have a few minutes for questions following Wes’ presentation. Use the Q&A feature to submit questions for Wes.

Yes! The horsepower in automobiles today is just crazy compared what it used to be 20 years ago. Thank you Dr. Kumfer for mentioning this.

Hello! I received some feedback from Kevin Murphy: We certainly applaud the long term efforts of the Brain Injury Alliance, but are there any new takeaways from these conversations you could bring back as a *new* strategy to approach safety culture in your organization/programs that you’d like to share? No worries if you don’t want to share something new.

Forget total crashes, focus on fatalities and serious injuries

We will have 15 minutes for audience questions for the panel. Use the Q&A feature to submit questions for the panel.

I was responding to a question about other vehicle aspects beyond horsepower that affect safety, but the question disappeared. One thing I do know about is that vehicles are much quieter than they used to be, so it is much harder for drivers to tell if they are speeding without looking at the speedometer. Speedometers may also send subtle cues to drivers that because their speedometers go to high speeds, they can hit those speeds. As for a solution, some nations have stronger regulations on speed governors in engines.

it shifted to the “answered” tab

Can you please share your name so I can update the attendee tab?

sorry Wes, it was in the “dismissed” tab — I reopened it

Thanks, I just responded to it again!

Strategy: Incorporate SEPTA bus stop standards in all suburban and rural planning where service exists.

Thank you! Recorded your strategy.

Strategy: PSA campaign that humanizes bicyclists and pedestrians. Many are likely aware of the Australian study from last year where drivers considered cyclists lower than cockroaches (no joke!).https://www.bicycling.com/news/a26977798/dehumanization-of-cyclists-boosts-aggressive-drivers/

In NJ, half the fatalities and serious injuries are on 7% of the road miles, NJDOT roads

yes, maybe just call on ashwin first

(that was for pat)

Ha ha sorry Matt!

We are in the midst of a natural experiment that will show the effect of (sudden lack of) congestion on fatalities and serious injuries

Jerry, I'm hoping to study some of those effects here in NC (working with another group on campus to secure funding right now). We may see an interesting phenomena where congestion reduction may correspond to reduced total collisions, but there may be higher speeds that may increase severe crashes. My wife witnessed someone speeding straight through a stop sign just yesterday.

We’ve been monitoring real-time speed data from cell phones/GPS and speeds are way up on a lot of roads.

Strategy: Follow-up PA statewide analysis of roundabout safety improvements with analysis of congestion/reliability at these locations (using probe data).

Strategy: To better understand how SICK as a leader safety system supplier in other industries can help support this industry and others

all action items have been recorded separately

Thanks, Erin! I’m going to close this out shortly
