Safety Leadership Symposium

Traffic safety is a serious issue in Southern California. On average, more than 1,500 people die and 136,000 people are injured in collisions every year, and most collisions are happening on local streets – not freeways. Many of these injuries and deaths can be prevented through local education or enforcement strategies, or by designing safer streets.

Elected officials are invited to join us to explore regional traffic safety issues at a special pre-conference Safety Leadership Symposium on Wednesday, May 1, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Expert panelists will highlight policy and implementation tools available to local governments to help improve safety.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
