Safe Streets for All: Technologies for Tracking Near-Misses

The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) awarded $895 million to 620 communities for safety projects and strategies. Many of these winning proposals incorporated new technologies for assessing safety challenges. This session will investigate how cities across the country are using SS4A funding to deploy new data capture technologies including cameras, drones, and LiDAR to detect near-misses and other high-risk incidents, and predictive analysis tools to inform street design and transportation planning.

Questions to be answered include:

  • What are the most important technologies cities should consider as tools to advance Vision Zero and similar road safety commitments?
  • How have cities successfully incorporated these technologies into their Planning and Demonstration proposals?
  • What safety assessment technologies are eligible for funding through the SS4A Planning and Demonstration grants?
