Vision Zero Network and the American Public Health Association (APHA) are collaborating on a webinar on April 25th at 2pm ET / 11am PT. Joined by David Ederer of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Meghan Mitman of Fehr & Peers, and Tiffany Smith of Vision Zero Network, this webinar will discuss the role of transportation professionals in public health, what safety strategies align with public health principles of injury prevention, and highlight ways transportation practitioners can move past critical institutional barriers to embrace more effective, equitable, and proactive approaches to improving safety outcomes. This webinar is a great opportunity to learn more about how to translate public health principles to roadway safety in ways that go beyond collaborating with public health to institutionalizing public health principles. And if you’ve been hoping to connect further with your public health partners at the city, county, and state levels, we encourage you to invite them to join. Sharing this webinar with them could also be a great stepping off point for discussion around further collaborative efforts.
