Webinar on Light Rail Safety

The National Transit Institute (NTI) will conduct a free webinar based on Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 137, Improving Pedestrian and Motorist Safety Along Light Rail Alignments, April 15 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Eastern time. This is part of a series of webinars being presented by NTI, in cooperation with TCRP and APTA, highlighting specific reports on current topics and trends in the transit industry.

Previous light rail safety research through TCRP reviewed a number of safety systems, identified safety measures, and proposed safety enhancements, but did not provide a systematic approach for the evaluation of current measures. This webinar examines pedestrian and motorist behaviors contributing to light rail transit (LRT) safety and explores mitigating measures available to improve safety along LRT alignments.

Don Cleghorn of HDR | iTRANS, principal investigator for the report, will conduct the webinar, which will include 60 minutes of information about the report findings and 30 minutes dedicated to questions from the audience. Participants will log in to access the graphic content and dial into an audio-teleconference.

Persons wishing to participate in the webinar must register online to receive the login information. More information is available from Greta Ritz.
