About the research

The objective of BTS-24 is to develop a practical toolkit that can help redefine stakeholder engagement during the development of safety plans, interventions, programs, projects, and policies, so that outcomes focus on multi-solving decision-making and implementation. The desired outcomes are to develop a guide to promote and facilitate diverse, cross-sectoral groups to collaborate on multi-solving decision-making and implementation.

The team has broken this down into three specific goals:

  1. Explain the Safe System and multi-solving: Provide background informational materials that help practitioners such as planners, engineers, and law enforcement officers understand their occupational roles in the Safe System and multi-solving transformation
  2. Make safety a fundamental part of the planning process: Identify data sources, analysis tools, and techniques that support Safe System and multi-solving approaches applicable to various stages of the safety planning, policy development, and implementation processes, and provide information on how these resources can support integrating safety with agency workflows
  3. Support interdisciplinary collaboration: Develop frameworks (and supporting tools or templates) to facilitate interdisciplinary local safety reviews designed to support broader crosscutting safety, transportation, health, environmental, and social goals
