Since 2016 our team has been applying public health principles and systems science in our work to equip current and future transportation professionals and stakeholders with more effective tools to solve complex safety challenges. This multidisciplinary work advances Safe Systems concepts — such as accounting for human vulnerabilities and human behavior to proactively limit the chance of fatal injury — through research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer. Our myriad accomplishments and impacts on the field of practice over the last several years have been documented extensively in newsletters, progress reports, conferences, and more.
