July 14, 2020 from 10 a.m. to noon (Pacific Time)
Rural roadway departures make up a third of U.S. traffic fatalities—about 30 people a day. The Every Day Counts round five (EDC-5) initiative, Focus on Reducing Rural Roadway Departures (FoRRRwD), features four pillars: Addressing All Public Roads, Systemic Approach, Safety Action Plans, and Proven Countermeasures. This webinar focuses on the second pillar, the Systemic Approach.
Title: FoRRRwD with the Systemic Approach: Prioritizing Locations and Projects
Target Audience: State, local, and tribal agencies – come discover how other agencies prioritize and evaluate the benefits of systemic projects that maximize reductions in roadway departure crashes.
Presenters:
- Robert Peterson, Caltrans, will provide a brief overview of Caltrans’ Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) and the transition to LRSPs, then discuss how Caltrans is prioritizing systemic roadway departure projects using benefit-cost analyses.
- Christina McDaniel-Wilson, Oregon DOT, will discuss ODOT’s systemic screening process for Roadway Departure using the safety priority index system and the use of benefit-cost ratios to prioritize systemic projects.
- Ed Hanscom, Maine DOT, will discuss the systemic approach to roadway departure crashes in Maine and how they utilized risk factors and exposure to determine countermeasure cost effectiveness and the most appropriate sites for treatment.
