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?”
