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?

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

#SafeSystemsSummit
Consortium Members
MissionTo create and exchange knowledge to advance transportation safety
through a multidisciplinary, Safe Systems approach.
VisionTo unite perspectives from planning, engineering, public health, data science, and robotics in ways that advance road safety research and equip professionals and the public at large
with cutting-edge tools, data, and resources to address the systems that impact transportation safety.
