Transportation Safety for All Ages »
2025 APA UT Fall Conference, October 10, 2025 10:15 amEverybody wants safe roads, but balancing priorities is tricky. This session identifies road safety risk factors from different perspectives. Recognizing that words matter, we reflect on ways to talk about road safety that can advance a prioritization of vulnerable road users. We also highlight a traffic safety project that engaged Ogden, Utah, elementary school children in gathering traffic data as a “STEM Learning Activity.” Children learned how traffic engineers make decisions by doing field-based research.
