Sharing Success and Expanding Implementation to Save Lives
Safety innovations have been a cornerstone of the Every Day Counts (EDC) program since 2011, resulting in their rapid deployment and institutionalization, and the 2021 EDC Safety Summit Series built on that momentum.
Featured EDC Initiatives
- Sept. 1: Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP)
- Sept. 8: Data-Driven Safety Analysis (DDSA)
- Sept. 15: Reducing Rural Roadway Departures (FoRRRwD) including High Friction Surface Treatment and SafetyEdge(SM)
- Sept. 22: Intersection and Interchange Geometrics
- Sept. 29: Road Diets
The summit series highlights seven safety initiatives, and shares how they can save lives. The series benefits those who are just beginning to implement these innovations, those who are further along and could gain from peer-to-peer engagement, and those with deployment stories to share. It included opportunities to discuss hot topics with peers and establish relationships that can boost success now and in the future.
Each day of the series kicked off with FHWA leadership perspectives with opportunities for questions and answers, followed by interactive State and local presentations and topic-based breakout sessions, as well as a local innovation safety showcase.
