Luncheon Keynote: Time to include land use in the safe systems approach
The Safe System Approach has been embraced by the transportation community as an effective way to address and mitigate the risks inherent in our enormous and complex transportation system. The approach is currently being implemented with the objectives of encouraging safer people, safer roads, safer vehicles, safer speeds, and enhanced post-crash care.
The State of Washington has added a sixth objective, safer land use, to the Safe System Approach as a part of its recently adopted Strategic Highway Safety Plan. As stated in the plan, “When land use and transportation are planned efficiently, the necessities of daily life can be closer together and easier to access, which makes active transportation modes more viable and results in fewer motor vehicle trips. This reduces exposure to crashes, promotes walking and biking, reduces congestion and air pollution, and contributes to a prosocial traffic safety culture. The land use and transportation systems work together to create the network within which people operate and interact with one another and the adjacent land use.”
This presentation will review the opportunities presented by addressing safety first, and by linking land use and transportation to increase safety, access, and mobility for all.
