Every Day Counts
Car Crash
Data Driven Safety Analysis
FHWA's Every Day Counts
Thursday, June 25

11:00 am to 3:00 pm Stillwater, OK 

How many crashes on a roadway are too many crashes? Today, there are methods to answer this question that has plagued transportation professionals for years.  

 

JOIN US for the next FHWA Every Day Counts presentation at OSU's CLGT 
in Stillwater, OK:  DATA DRIVEN SAFETY ANALYSIS.

We'll begin with an Oklahoma perspective of crash data:

 
11:15 am ~ How to Use Traffic Safety Data to Make Engineering Decisions- Matt Warren, ODOT

11:45 am ~ Demo of the "SAFE-T" Crash Data System in Oklahoma - Kevin Drury, ODOT

12:15 pm ~ A discussion of tribal crash data challenges- Tabatha Harris & Karla Sisco, SP TTAP

1:00 pm ~ National Discussion 

  

LUNCH WILL BE SERVED AT 11:00, thanks to G.W. Van Keppel Equipment Company!

AGENDA 

 

MAP
 

With limited funding available to address transportation needs, professionals are constantly challenged to make decisions maximizing the return on investment.  Evaluating a roadway in terms of generally accepted guidelines is not sufficient.  Decision makers need to determine if a roadway will perform satisfactorily in terms of crashes - now, and into the future.  Advances in highway safety analysis can provide more reliable information for effective investment decisions.

Tribal Safety Driver
ALIVE at 25 class coming to CLGT in Stillwater, OK, on Saturday, July 25. Training is from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. FIND OUT MORE!
Why do we need Alive at 25?

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of teen fatalities, accounting for 44% of teen deaths in the U.S.
Send your teens out the door with the ability to make safer driving decisions.
 
Alive at 25 is a highly-interactive course that helps young adults under the age of 25 take greater responsibility for their driving by focusing on behavior, judgment and decision making. Alive @ 25 helps teach young drivers that there are consequences to their driving behavior and provides the tools for making positive choices. Through interactive media segments, group discussions, role playing and workbook exercises, young rivers develop convictions and strategies that keep them safe on the road. With a strong emphasis on classroom participation, teens are encouraged to join in non-threatening, non-judgmental discussions - exploring how changing driver behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense.  


Want to bring Alive at 25 to your tribe? Contact Tabatha: tabatha.harris@okstate.edu
