Motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrians are rare events that often result in high-severity consequences. Because these crashes occur infrequently, it can be difficult to plan infrastructure improvements and justify their funding. This webinar will share the results of a research project sponsored by FHWA. The research establishes risk-based safety planning tools to evaluate infrastructure in Tribal areas for pedestrian safety.

In Tribal areas where safety data is often lacking, there is still a need to prioritize investments and provide justification for funding. Risk-based safety planning is one way to make informed safety decisions and develop justifications. In this webinar, hear from several speakers who will share an approach to risk-based safety planning for tribal areas.
The webinar will include:

An introduction to risk-based safety planning (Adam Larsen)
Overview of the Abley Safe Curves pilot with Native American Tribal nations (Steve Abley)
Using 3D Data to Identify Safety Concerns (Larry Mohr)
usRAP overview including the usRAP demonstrator tool (Zachary Hans)
Discussion of the usRAP Tribal pilots using 360-cameras (Kimberly Vachal)
