Read this in-depth report exploring CSCRS’s work, demonstrating the breadth of our research and outreach activities covering critical aspects of the Safe System approach.
From 2016 to 2023 the CSCRS team applied public health principles and systems science to equip transportation professionals and stakeholders with effective tools to solve complex safety challenges. This multidisciplinary work advanced 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 were documented extensively in progress reports, conferences, and more.
