Is There Safety in Numbers for Cyclists and Pedestrians?
*Wednesday, Nov.20th | 2:00-3:15 p.m.*
Is there safety in numbers? At this webinar, learn if increasing the number of cyclists and pedestrians can lead to a better safety regimen. Our presenters review the research related to safety analysis and the relationship between volume of users and facilities, as well as the policy implications for practitioners who seek to increase cycling and walking.
The webinar presenters will talk about these points related to the phenomenon of safety in numbers:
- When do we observe "safety in numbers” and how can we explain it? - What factors affect cyclist safety, and can we build a framework to understand how these factors interact? - What approaches might a municipality take to analyze and understand cyclist safety?
*Presenters*:
- Simon Blenski, Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, City of Minneapolis - Dr. Luis Miranda-Moreno, McGill University, Montreal - Dr. Krista Nordback, Research Associate, Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium (OTREC), Portland State University
