Trang 3· Zero Fatalities Campaign Updates
o There was discussion on the Safety Summit and all of the videos that were shown during the break These videos can be accessed from OTS’ YouTube Channel All videos for the last 10
o You can view all videos or go to playlists to view videos by behavior.
o It might be time to put the word out on hit and run implications Attendees noted that they
seem to be on the rise again.
o Attendees noted that it might be good to do education on RRFBs for both drivers and
pedestrians.
o The tag line is changing to “Lives are on the Line”
o If you would like the new logo, please e-mail Andrew Bennett
https://zerofatalitiesnv.com/get-involved/share-the-message/
o There are two upcoming PSAs
· Worst Year Ever – Peds, Speed, Occupant Protection, Impairment, and Motorcycles
· Save Yourself – Intersections, Peds, Motorcycles, Alcohol and Marijuana, and Distraction
· SHSP Update
o Slides from the presentation are attached.
o There was discussion on why there is not planned to be a Bicycle Vice Chair, when bicycle advocacy groups are so vocal It was noted that the focus is on groups where the most impact can be made Pedestrians have significantly more fatalities and serious injuries in Nevada than bicycles Additionally, most pedestrian improvements have a positive impact on bicycles.
o It is still being determined if a one-on-one Facilitator and Vice Chair meeting will take place prior to the CEA Action Update Meetings.

US DOT Announces First Ever Comprehensive “Pedestrian Safety Action Plan”
According to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 17 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2019 were pedestrians
In 2019—the most recent year for which data are available—6,205 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes, 44percent more than in 2010 Pedestrian fatalities are largely a phenomenon in urban areas during dark conditions, andtypically increase in the fall and winter months

Trang 23Organization: Center for Health and Safety Culture
The Positive Culture Framework (PCF) is an approach based on our latest research about improving health andsafety in our communities and organizations PCF seeks to cultivate health and safety We intentionally use the wordcultivate, as the PCF builds on shared values, beliefs, and attitudes that already exist in a culture to promote healthand safety PCF builds on the recognition that the solutions are in the community

Organization: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
EDC is a State–based model that identifies and rapidly deploys proven, yet underutilized innovations to shorten theproject delivery process, enhance roadway safety, reduce traffic congestion, and integrate automation The summit is
an integral component of the EDC model, bringing together transportation leaders and front-line professionalsresponsible for the development and delivery of highway projects We are excited to conduct the EDC-6 summitvirtually this year and welcome participation from all of our partners State DOTs, local agencies, federal landmanagement agencies, tribes and industry to encourage creative thinking, and celebrate a shared vision for newopportunities
EDC is Innovation for a Nation on the Move In this cycle, the seven initiatives feature strategies to increase
engagement with people, new applications of products to preserve and repair our infrastructure, and improveprocesses to save time on project delivery and incident management We look forward to your participation in thesummit

Intersection Strategies and Action Items
FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasure/
Countermeasures that Work
Included in Current SHSP
Consider for
1 Screen the network to identify the top
high crash signalized intersections andidentify proposed signalized intersectionsafety countermeasures (Joel
Thornsberry)
Top high crash signalized intersections
2 Screen the network for the top 10
potential locations for LeadingPedestrian Intervals (LPI) andimplement at those locations (Jon)
60% reduction in pedestrian crashes at signalized intersections X X Yes Determine the top 10 signalized intersections with pedestrian crashes,
pedestrian generators, or high pedestrian activity and implement at those
locations
3 Promote the installation of backplates
with retroreflective borders at the stateand local level (Joel Thornsberry)
15% reduction in total signalized intersection crashes X X Yes Number of retroreflective backplates installed, Number of agencies with
retroreflective backplates as a standard on new signal installations,Number of agencies with retroreflective backplates as a standard onretrofit, Conduct a statewide B/C analysis for installation at all signalized
intersections statewide
Strategy 2: Screen the Network for and Apply Unsignalized Intersection Countermeasures
4 Screen the network to identify the top
high crash unsignalized intersectionsand identify proposed unsignalizedintersection safety countermeasures
(Joel Thornsberry)
Top high crash unsignalized intersections
5 Determine the top 10 high crash
unsignalized intersections (in rural andurban areas) and install multiple low-cost countermeasures at them (ActionStep Leader)
10% reduction of KABC crashes at stop-controlled intersections X X Yes Determine the top 10 high crash unsignalized locations (in rural and
urban areas) and install multiple low-cost countermeasures at them
6 Determine the top 10 high crash
unsignalized locations (or corridors forspeed management) that could bepotential candidates for roundabouts(including compact and spiralroundabouts) (NDOT Safety)
78% - 82% reduction in K and A crashes at intersections X X Yes Conduct a before and after study to determine the effectiveness of
roundabout installations in Nevada Determine top 10 high crashunsignalized locations (or corridors for speed management) that could
be potential candidates for roundabouts
Strategy 3: Screen the Network for and Apply Countermeasures Along the Roadway to Improve Intersection Safety
7 Determine locations with high nighttime
crashes and make recommendations toincrease lighting (Dr Hao, LoriCampbell)
50% (NEW), 25% (UPGRADED) of night crashes X Yes Provide recommendations to add lighting to high nighttime crash
locations Work with agencies to educate them on lighting standards
Education on destination lighting in rural locations
