Maybe you are familiar with the Safe Systems approach. But does it sufficiently prioritize what’s important? The Safe Systems Pyramid is an updated approach to traffic safety that takes established epidemiological approaches to identify the cause of death and injury (spoiler alert - it is the speed, shape, and mass of vehicles) and how to interrupt its spread. Join us Tuesday, October 15th at 2 PM E.T to learn how we can work together for a cure.
