We must set new goals to ensure safe and accessible roads for all users across our nation. Equitable safety investments, lessons learned from the past, improvements to meet the needs of diverse communities and road users, the role of public transportation, and an eye toward resiliency and sustainability are the foundations of this workshop. An expert panel will discuss these issues and how a Safe System approach can help steer the U.S.— rural, urban, suburban and tribal areas—to safer, more equitable, user-friendly and environmentally-sound outcomes.
