Book Synopsis Traffic Safety on Tribal Lands by : Melissa A. Savage
Download or read book Traffic Safety on Tribal Lands written by Melissa A. Savage and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans are disproportionately affected by motor vehicle and pedestrian crashes. Because of cultural, language and geographic differences, many interventions that have successfully reduced U.S. traffic-related fatalities and injuries are not effective for tribal communities. This publication discusses how tribes can use traffic safety laws and enforcement, road design and Safe Communities programs and offers suggestions for tribal leaders, state legislators, traffic safety advocates, public health professionals and others to consider when planning traffic safety interventions on tribal lands--Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Building Tribal Traffic Safety Capacity by : Esther Corbett
Download or read book Building Tribal Traffic Safety Capacity written by Esther Corbett and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nationally, the annual motor vehicle crash (MVC) mortality rates for American Indians per 100,000 persons have been three to four times greater than the general public. This trend has also been consistently evident in Arizona. The annual MVC mortality rates for American Indians in Arizona per 100,000 persons have been three times higher than the statewide population. The project purpose was to identify methods for assisting tribes to develop capacity in five areas: 1) Decision Making; 2) Data Collection, Storage, Maintenance, and Integration with Other Programs; 3) Equipment and Software; 4) Project Prioritization; and 5) Project Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The approach used to conduct the research was described in the Tribal Highway Safety Improvement Program Model and Guidelines. [21] The four-task model and nine policy and technical guidelines were developed in 2004 by the research team from the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. (ITCA) as a planning resource for tribes and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to consider when establishing a Tribal Highway Safety Improvement Program (THSIP) or eliminating roadway hazards on tribal lands.
Book Synopsis Improving safety on rural local and tribal roads by : Elizabeth Ann Wemple
Download or read book Improving safety on rural local and tribal roads written by Elizabeth Ann Wemple and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural roadway safety is an important issue for communities throughout the country and presents a challenge for state, local, and Tribal agencies. The Improving Safety on Rural Local and Tribal Roads? Safety Toolkit was created to help rural local and Tribal roadway safety practitioners address these challenges. The Safety Toolkit provides a step-by-step process to assist local agency and Tribal practitioners in completing traffic safety analyses, identify safety issues, countermeasures to address them, and an implementation process. Each step in the Toolkit contains a set of tools, examples, and links to resources appropriate to the needs of safety practitioners. The report presents a seven-step safety analysis process based on a similar process developed in the Highway Safety Manual. The seven steps are: compile data; conduct network screening; select sites for investigation; diagnose site conditions and identify countermeasures; prioritize countermeasures for implementation; implement countermeasures; and evaluate effectiveness of implemented countermeasures. Accompanying the Safety Toolkit are two User Guides (FHWA-SA-14-073 and FHWA-SA-14-074) which present step-by-step processes of example scenarios.
Book Synopsis Roadway Safety on Indian Reservations by : Debbie Sue Shinstine
Download or read book Roadway Safety on Indian Reservations written by Debbie Sue Shinstine and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to reduce fatal and injury crashes on Tribal lands has been recognized for years. The U.S. has realized a decline in fatal crashes over the past several years, but fatal crashes continue to increase on Tribal lands. Limited resources, lack of crash data and little coordination across jurisdictions has made it difficult for Native American communities to address their roadway safety concerns. A methodology able to address these challenges has been developed and successfully implemented on the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR). Key to the success of such a process is collaboration among safety stakeholders, namely the State departments of transportation, Tribal leadership, Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and local and Tribal law enforcement. Strategic Highway Safety Plans are used to assist agencies to determine effective safety improvements to their roadways. Crash data is important to properly identify strategies to accomplish their goals. The WRIR has successfully developed a strategic plan utilizing the available crash data, identified ways to improve reporting, and incorporated their safety improvement program into the strategic plan. Statistical models have been used to help researches determine related factors and identify countermeasures to improve roadway safety. Many models have been developed for urban applications and intersections, but few have addressed crashes on rural roadways and apparently none have analyzed crashes on Indian Reservations. This study analyzes crash severity for rural highway systems in Wyoming using a multiple logistic regression model. Four rural highway systems were analyzed for crash severity including the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR). Five main effects predictor variables were prevalent in all four crash severity models: crashes involving animals, driver impairment, motorcycles, mean speed and the use of safety equipment. These results validate the concerns of the Tribal communities. Few resources exist that address the livability and sustainability of rural and Tribal communities. In order to improve transportation safety, and other transportation issues in these communities, they need programs that meet their specific needs and culture. This research presents several programs that address livability and sustainability. It identifies the challenges Tribes face in providing opportunities and quality living options. Each Tribe has different goals and priorities that would affect how they define livability. Transportation is a large factor in improving quality of life and economic opportunities in rural and Tribal communities. Roadway safety is a primary goal among Native Americans in their efforts to improve the quality of life among their people.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roadway safety on Indian Reservations has become a significant concern for the United States government, and the U.S. Department of Transportation is striving to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes. Over the past several years there has been a steady decline in fatal crashes across the country, yet fatal crash rates continue to increase on tribal lands. In collaboration with the goal to eliminate fatal and serious crashes, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) partnered with the Wyoming Technology Transfer Center/Local Technical Assistance Program (WYT2/LTAP) to address the high fatality rates on the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR) in response to the Wyoming Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The rural nature of the reservation, behavioral factors, and physical aspects of the roadways have contributed to fatal crash rates on the WRIR. It has been difficult for the tribes to implement a safety improvement program. A previous methodology to reduce fatal and serious crash rates was successfully implemented on the Wind River Indian Reservation local roadways. WYDOT and the tribal leadership have requested a similar methodology to implement on the state highway system within the reservation. The success of this project was heavily dependent on collaboration among transportation safety stakeholders. Key contributors were the State Department of Transportation, tribal leadership, the Local and Tribal Technical Assistance Program (LTAP & TTAP), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and local and tribal law enforcement. The methodology presented in this research is dedicated to assisting WYDOT and the tribal leadership in reducing fatal and injury crash rates on their reservation. As a part of the previous methodology implemented on the WRIR local roadways, the tribal leadership, and other involved agencies developed a Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The WRIR is in the process of adjusting their strategic safety plan by utilizing the crash analysis accomplished in this study. The crash analysis also supplies a tool to visualize comparisons between the three roadway systems. The three systems are as follows: (1) all U.S. and State Highways within Wyoming; (2) all U.S. and State Highways within the WRIR; and (3) all County and Indian Reservation Roads within the WRIR. This tool identifies comparisons that focus on the conditions of tribal roads versus the state highways, as well as differences between behavioral and other physical aspects of the roads between the two roadway systems. Statistical models are routinely used by researchers to quantify factors that are often left to intuition, uncertainty, and incomplete information. Various types of statistical models have been developed to assist transportation engineers in determining factors related to specific types of crashes. They use these models as a guide to identify which countermeasures would most likely improve roadway safety. Few models have addressed crashes on rural roadways, and even fewer have investigated crashes on Indian Reservations. This study analyzes the crash severity for three rural roadway systems in Wyoming, and the WRIR, using ordinal polytomous logistic regression. The same three rural roadway systems were analyzed for comparisons between the physical conditions of the roadways using a one way analysis of variance. The crash severity on only the U.S. and State Highways within the WRIR were also analyzed in comparison with average daily traffic counts using a multiple logistic regression. The final statistical analysis involved a simple one-sided t-test to investigate a possible speeding issue on the reservation. The proposed methodology is in the process of being successfully implemented on the state and U.S. highways within the WRIR. Tribal leaders are now able to receive the resources they need to keep their communities safe and sustainable. The results found within this research are currently being incorporated into their strategic safety plan.

Book Synopsis A Pilot Data System and Analytical Framework for Tribal and Rural Community Traffic Safety Equity Assessments by : Christopher Gottsacker
Download or read book A Pilot Data System and Analytical Framework for Tribal and Rural Community Traffic Safety Equity Assessments written by Christopher Gottsacker and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a systemic inequity in terms of traffic safety between rural and urban areas throughout the nation. Rural, isolated, tribal, and indigenous communities (RITI) communities often need more funding to address transportation safety concerns. However, recent focus on technological improvements in urban areas risks widening this divide, leaving RITI communities further behind. This study aims at investigating solutions to address the problem. In particular, a framework is proposed to address the issue of traffic safety equity. Research efforts are made to follow this framework from outreach to data analysis and visualization. The outreach activities have resulted in data sharing agreements with one tribe in Washington State and paved the road for signing to agreement with another tribe. Descriptive analyses are conducted to gain basic understanding of the data, and crash frequency prediction models are also used to find significant contributing factors in crash occurrence. The results of this model are used to create an index of Crash Reduction Potential, and an online crash mapping application is developed to visualize the index.
Book Synopsis Road and Traffic Safety by : Daniel Hughes
Download or read book Road and Traffic Safety written by Daniel Hughes and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disparity between urban and rural motor vehicle fatalities in the U.S. is well documented in academic research and reports show discrepancy between urban and rural fatalities. However, despite the decline in overall motor vehicle fatalities, the difference between urban and rural fatality rates has stayed relatively consistent. Rural fatalities still account for over half the overall fatalities despite having fewer vehicle miles travelled (VMT) than in urban areas. Therefore, examining the reasons behind the continued discrepancy between urban and rural motor vehicle deaths remains an important issue in safety management and research. This book discusses practices, roles of human behavior and effective programs in road and traffic safety.
