Implementing a Safe System approach requires authentic collaboration and cooperation across diverse partners (e.g., engineering, planning, enforcement, public health). However, sustainable collaboration across agencies and organizations is challenging given competing demands and organization-specific priorities. Tools and effective supporting infrastructure are needed to help sustain and strengthen these collaborations to realize Safe System goals. Learn about a novel support and technical assistance hub in North Carolina designed to assist Safe System- and Vision Zero-adopting communities across the state, and the hub’s support model and publicly available tools.
