Vision Zero Network: Slow Down Speeders - Using Intelligent Speed Assistance in Your Community (Virtual)
2025-09-16 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Date: September 16, 2025
Time: 9:00 am to 10:00 am PT
Location: Virtual
Cost: Free
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.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) America: Data Rich, Insight Poor? Making Transportation Intelligence Work (Virtual)

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.

Pedestrian fatalities in the US increased over 83% between 2009 and 2022, substantially more than the 16% increase for vehicle occupant fatalities over the same period. Past research has identified important relationships between these recent pedestrian safety outcomes and street design (e.g., arterials and midblock crossings) and motor vehicle design (e.g., the higher prevalence and larger dimensions of light trucks). But how have pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries shifted in the larger geospatial context? This webinar explores how pedestrian safety issues have shifted on the urban/suburban/rural continuum, identifying a shift in pedestrian crashes toward the suburbs. Neighborhood-scale analyses also identify pedestrian fatality and serious injury concentrations around retail and other small-scale commercial establishments and public transit. This work harmonizes planning and engineering research into a more complete story of the recent pedestrian safety crisis.

Transportation is deeply connected to health, housing, food access, education, economic opportunity, and more. Yet many of our communities are designed in ways that make it difficult for people who can’t drive to get where they need to go.
Approximately 30% of the U.S. population cannot drive because of age, disability, income, or other barriers. Everyone is a nondriver for at least part of their lives, and most people will outlive their ability to drive. What does that mean for our ability to age in place, access opportunities and care, stay connected, and move safely across our communities throughout our lives?
Join Community Design and Nondrivers – Connecting All of Us to explore opportunities to make our transportation systems work for all. Hear real-world experiences from people navigating current challenges, and learn how issues such as time spent traveling, safety, and access impact daily life.. Most importantly, it will look at what’s possible and ask the fundamental question: “What kind of community do we want to live in?”

Managing Roadway Drainage Systems (Virtual)
2025-10-09 09:00 - 11:30
Drainage is one of the key asset classifications that transportation system owners are expected to maintain. The condition of drainage features and structures may deteriorate over time due to erosion and sediment buildup. Drainage maintenance is critical for extending the life of pavements, as drainage assets control water flow along maintainable pathways. Routine inspection of drainage systems identifies needed maintenance and lessens the potential for flooding. This includes inspections of shoulder, ditches, and pipes and culverts.
This 2.5-hour virtual training teaches you to manage drainage systems effectively and efficiently by explaining:

What types of drainage assets need to be inspected.
What information is collected during an inspection.
How to determine if the condition requires a critical, major, or routine maintenance response.
What treatments are appropriate, given the type of drainage asset and its current condition.

The training follows the guidelines and structure of the Federal Highway Administration’s Maintenance of Drainage Features for Safety.
