Local governments have more practical tools to curb dangerous speeding than you may realize.
Join Vision Zero Network to learn why cities should add Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) to their speed management toolkits both for their internal operations and for combating “super speeders” in their community.
You’ll hear from those piloting and using ISA in their fleets and also partnering on state-level policies to address repeat super-speeding. Vision Zero Network encourages Vision Zero practitioners to explore how ISA can complement other key strategies, such as road design, lower speed limits, speed safety cameras and others to manage speeds for safety.
Speakers include Eric Richardson, a world-recognized fleet safety expert with Together for Safer Roads; Charlie Willson, Acting Vision Zero Manager for Washington, DC; and Tom DeVito, National Director at Families for Safe Streets. Attendees – particularly city staff advancing Vision Zero – will leave with clear policy levers, procurement tips, and communication strategies to put ISA to work now and strengthen legislative efforts against speeding.

Data is not the problem—action is. Across the country, transportation agencies are sitting on vast streams of information—signal performance data, crash feeds, traveler info systems, sensor arrays, and vendor APIs. But the more data we generate, the harder it becomes to do something with it. This session explores how leading agencies are tackling data paralysis by building clear pipelines from raw data to decision-grade intelligence. Whether through federated data platforms, predictive dashboards, or embedded analytics in operations centers, we will unpack how the right strategy can transform data overload into meaningful, day-to-day impact. If your agency has all the tools and still cannot get the answers—it is time to fix the insight gap.
