WELCOMETOC / FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

Welcome to the inaugural Safe Systems Summit

Thetransportationsystem,relatedtechnologies,andtheworldat-largearebecomingincreasinglycomplexandinterconnected.Thisisdemandingnewskillsetsaswellasnewthinkinginhowweapproachtransportationsafetyproblems.

Our goals in bringing together this varied group of transportation, planning and public health professionals and safety champions are to:

• recognize and explore the complexity of transportation systems and the changing nature of safety challenges;

• share principles and practices from Safe Systems approaches effectively applied in different contexts;

• introduce and describe systems tools and methods that can be applied to build upon common values, develop shared goals and languages, support coordinated action, and carry lessons and knowledge forward; and

• support an inclusive and open dialogue about road safety from new and different perspectives, building trust and stronger relationshipsalongtheway.

Everyone sees a different part of the transportation system and has a different role to play in creating safer transportation systems.YoumaybeunfamiliarwithSafe Systems principles and systems tools (see glossary), or you may have extensive experienceinsystemsthinkingandapplications.Whereveryouarealongthecontinuumofunderstandingandpractice,youarean important part of this learning environment and we’re so glad you’re here!

Measuring system success1:00 – 2:00 p.m.Junior Ballroom D

This interactive session will address six evaluation-related questions:

- How should the impact of a Safe Systems approach be evaluated?

- What is the degree of alignment and misalignment between Safe Systems measures and traditional measures of safety?

- How might safety performance measures be better aligned with desired improvements in safety?

- How might iterative and organizational learning approaches be used to identify and implement more useful safety measures?

- How can success measures be developed that are shared by all relevant stakeholders?

- How should evaluations of safety systems be constructed that recognize the complex characteristics of safety systems?

WORKSHOP Putting the “System” in a Safe Transportation System TRB Workshop: Thursday, January 17, 2019. Hosted by the Standing Committee on Pedestrians, workshop organizers will share highlights from a recent CSCRS project related to mapping pedestrian systems and will walk attendees through a series of exercises progressing from developing a shared sense of the underlying complexity driving a problem to obtaining insight on how best to effect change on a com-plexandpersistentproblem,likepedestrianinjury.Workshopattendees will:

1) learn more about Safe Systems and systems science with an emphasis on how these two concepts can affect pedes-trian safety; and
