KAI's Transportation Education Series provides interactive presentation sessions intended to promote professional development and advancements in transportation engineering and planning.
Crashes are complex events that are influenced by human behavior, roadway characteristics, weather, and vehicle characteristics. They are difficult to consistently prevent and too frequently lead to fatalities and serious injuries. System-wide and consistent reductions in fatal and serious injury crashes require more than engineering solutions. They require coordination and collaboration between engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency services.
Please join us on Tuesday, May 22, 2012, to learn about how Clackamas County is establishing a foundation for multi-disciplinary coordination and collaboration through the development of their Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP). This session will touch on the County’s motivation for developing a TSAP, what the TSAP includes, how it was developed, how they will be putting it into action, and how you can develop your own TSAP.
The workshop will start promptly at 11:30am and will run until 1:30pm. There is no cost to attend this session, and the workshop is equal to 2.0 professional development hours (PDH). Lunch will be provided.
If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Matt Hughart in our Portland office at (503) 535-7425. We hope you can join us at this workshop to learn more about developing an innovative Transportation Safety Action Plan.
