Safe Systems Summit: Redefining Transportation Safety April 23-24, 2019

Durham, NC

CSCRS invites you to register for the Safe Systems Summit: Redefining Transportation Safety, to be held April 23-24, 2019, in Durham, NC. Registration is now closed.

We hope you can be a part of what promises to be a great gathering of different perspectives and conversations about transportation safety and public health. Summit attendees will: recognize and explore the complexity of transportation systems and the changing nature of safety challenges; share principles and practices from Safe Systems approaches effectively applied in different contexts; introduce and describe systems tools and methods that can be applied to build upon common values, develop shared goals and languages, support coordinated action, and carry lessons and knowledge forward, as well as cultivate new ideas and discover resources.

What is the purpose of this Summit?

The Safe Systems Summit provides an opportunity to explore the Safe Systems approach and what it means for the U.S. as a whole, as well as for states, communities, and individuals. Participants will map systems together, collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, tour and discuss advanced technologies, and swap ideas in expert panel sessions. We’ll learn more about our shared roles in transportation safety and leave with new ideas and resources.

Building upon the U.S. Department of Transportation University Transportation Center Spotlight meeting tradition, this meeting is a unique opportunity for university-based researchers and professionals to gather together to explore a specific topic, share and improve upon the practice of transportation safety in the U.S.

Who should attend?
