Statistics are presented showing rising rates of pedestrian deaths in the U.S. The organization's goals include obtaining funding to improve crosswalk visibility with wider painted lines. The document advocates for shared responsibility of pedestrians and drivers in roadway safety.
Make Sure Driver's Can See You Edited.pptxTerence Morris
Pedestrians traffic fatalities resulted in over 70,000 family injuries in the United States (NHTSA). Research (e.g., Hunter, Stutts, Pein, & Cox, 1996) indicates that a lack of driver high-visibility compliance enforcement to pedestrian crossing laws is associated with pedestrian motor vehicle crashes. Especially, in cases of Drunk or Buzzed Driving. Increased enforcement and increased publicity about the enforcement has led to substantial increases in compliance with occupant protection laws.
The Oklahoma Governor's Impaired Driving Prevention Advisory Council charged with making recommendations to the Governor's office established extensive outreach to the Native American community, hosting a breakout session specific to tribal efforts bringing impaired driving awareness to the annual OHSO Highway Safety Forum and participation in the annual TTAP Conference.
Now, let’s look forward 6 years to newly released traffic fatalities data. In 2021, two years ago, United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) unveiled the National Roadway Safety Strategy resources plan. The U.S. President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Laws includes critical steps to help reverse devastating pedestrian crosswalk intersection accident/ fatalities trend ending with saving lives on our roadways.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Traffic Fatalities Up in 2015Floyd Arthur
Pedestrian and cyclist traffic fatalities in the US increased by an estimated 10% from 2014 to 2015 according to a new report. This is the largest single-year increase on record. While more vehicles on the road has contributed to overall traffic fatalities, the rate of fatalities per mile driven also increased 8%, suggesting other contributing factors. As more people walk and cycle for transportation and exercise, the number of pedestrians and cyclists on the road has risen, which experts believe has contributed to the increase in fatalities. Several initiatives have been launched to improve safety, including road design changes, enforcement of traffic laws, and education programs.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Traffic Fatalities Up in 2015 By Floyd ArthurFloyd Arthur
The number of pedestrian and cyclist traffic fatalities in the United States rose an estimated 10% between 2014 and 2015, according to a report by the Governor's Highway Safety Association. Experts believe this increase is due to more people walking and cycling for transportation and health reasons, as well as a higher number of vehicles on the road. In response, the U.S. Department of Transportation and 14 cities have implemented "Vision Zero" programs focusing on lowering speed limits, improving road design, enforcement of traffic laws, and education to reduce pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.
This report includes a focus on seven key recommendations that are both specific and
actionable. A major role of the Task Force work has been to create shared understanding
across many disciplines, that removing obstacles to safe driving is crucial to healthy ageing and
managing our expanding lifespan successfully.
Public service announcements can help reduce distracted driving by educating the public about the dangerous consequences of behaviors such as texting while driving. PSAs reach wide audiences through television and social media and use celebrities to spread their message. However, some drivers, especially teens, believe they are exempt from the risks. Distracted driving causes thousands of deaths and injuries annually. Combining strict laws, enforcement, and effective public education campaigns through PSAs can change unsafe driving behaviors.

This document summarizes transportation trends among young people and Americans in general. It notes that vehicle miles traveled have declined 23% among 16-34 year olds since 2001, and that the share of 14-34 year olds without a driver's license has increased. This decline is attributed to economic and lifestyle changes, as well as changing attitudes and new technologies. Additionally, millennials are more likely to live in urban areas and use multiple modes of transportation like transit, walking and biking compared to older generations. Public policy choices around affordable and efficient transit options will help determine future transportation patterns.

Getting Our Transportation System Back on Its Feet
Link to this issue: http://tti.tamu.edu/2016/03/01/getting-our-transportation-system-back-on-its-feet/
This document discusses cycling equity and barriers to cycling participation. It analyzes data from cycling surveys in England to show inequalities in cycling based on gender, age, ethnicity, disability status, education level, and car ownership. While some areas have higher overall cycling rates, inequalities tend to remain. Barriers can be both general, affecting some groups more than others, and specific. The document argues for removing barriers and redressing exclusion so that people of all backgrounds can benefit from cycling. Equity requires addressing direct and indirect discrimination through infrastructure, policies, attitudes and other factors.
The document summarizes the key points from a June 9, 2015 traffic safety conference presented by John Barton. It discusses the increase in traffic fatalities in Texas from 2010-2014, factors contributing to rising fatalities like population and vehicle miles traveled growth. It then outlines TxDOT's collaborative efforts with law enforcement on programs like STEP, use of crash data systems, and safety campaigns. These programs aim to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries through enforcement, education, and encouraging safe behaviors like seatbelt use.
The documents discuss the Complete Streets movement, which advocates for roadways that are designed and operated to enable safe access and mobility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, and motorists of all ages and abilities. Supporters argue that many streets currently prioritize automobiles and are unsafe for other modes of transportation. They note a growing interest among Americans in walking and biking more. Complete Streets policies require considering all road users in transportation planning and projects. Common features of Complete Streets include sidewalks, bike lanes, wide shoulders, and crosswalks.
The document is a planning report by Melissa Ruhl that examines how travel behaviors may change with the introduction of self-driving cars. It conducted an online survey of 334 participants in the United States about their willingness to use self-driving cars in various scenarios. The survey found that most participants (83%) were willing to ride in a self-driving car. Participants were open to using shared self-driving services frequently (43% said always or often) but were more mixed about using them for commuting. A majority (69%) were uninterested in living farther from work even with self-driving cars. Those who valued car ownership, had longer commutes, or had experience with shared mobility services were more open to alternative transportation

The document provides a summary of secondary research conducted for I Am RVA, a non-profit organization that promotes bicycling in Richmond. Key findings include:
- I Am RVA lacks an integrated marketing strategy and could improve engagement on social media.
- Many Richmond residents want a more bike-friendly city, but motorists have negative views of cyclists.
- A survey found that those who do not wear helmets also do not read about bike safety. Most respondents are young professionals and students.
- To increase awareness, I Am RVA should focus social media efforts on those with neutral views of bicycling infrastructure, and consider lower-income respondents when planning campaigns.
I Am RVA is a nonprofit organization that promotes bicycle safety and community in Richmond, Virginia. It was founded in 2015 and is run by a volunteer board of directors. The organization's mission is to unite Richmond through its unique chrome bicycle helmet. Secondary research found that I Am RVA's key publics include cyclists, motorists, Virginia legislators, local businesses, and the general Richmond population. Research also showed that while I Am RVA has over 1,000 Facebook followers, it lacks an integrated marketing strategy and brand awareness remains low. Focus groups and interviews revealed that both cyclists and non-cyclists have little understanding of bike laws and safety, and that educational programs would be an effective way to increase awareness and

AMBASSADOR STEVE MBUGUA ROAD SAFETY CULTURE CAMPAIGN.pdfAmb Steve Mbugua
A Road Safety Culture
For the last 8 years since 2015, I have been conducting annual Road Safety Campaigns in a mission to lower the traffic accidents statistics. The campaign dubbed #AmbSteveMbuguaRoadSafetyCampaign takes place at different parts of the country.
We have so far lost lives through road accidents in Kenya more than Tripple the number we have lost through Covid-19. Kenya loses on average 4900 lives every year through road traffic accidents. The high rate of road accidents in the world at large is highly worrisome. Many people lost their loved ones on road accidents while many others are injured or disabled. Based on the statistics given by WHO, nearly 1.3 million people die in road accidents each year and on average, 3,287 die daily. More so, 20 to 50 million people are injured or disabled due to road traffic accidents. It is also important to note that road traffic accidents have no respect for anyone or class of people; in other words, rich and poor, young and old etc. are dying in road accidents nearly every day, around the world. Furthermore, it is also known that road traffic accidents constitute the leading cause of death among the youths. For instance, almost 400,000 people under age 25 die in road accidents every year in the world and on average over 1,000 people die per day. The major reason for the high rate of deaths on the road is simply because many road users around the world have not seen road safety as an individual key responsibility. This explains why good road safety culture is almost non-existent in many societies particularly in Africa. Road safety is of prime importance as road accidents are among the biggest causes of deaths in the country. With the number of vehicles on our roads increasing with every passing hour, it’s of vital importance for everyone to have traffic awareness and understand and respect all the road safety rules in Kenya.
Road traffic safety refers to the methods and measures used to prevent road users from being killed or seriously injured. Typical road users include pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, vehicle passengers, skaters, horse riders, and passengers of on-road public transport.
The regular road users include: pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and passengers in public transport. In a simple language, everybody is a road user. Hence, road safety can be described as the methods and measures put in place in order to prevent all road users from being killed or seriously injured.
Traffic Safety Culture includes the values, beliefs, and attitudes that influence road user behaviors and stakeholder actions.
Zero Tolerance Day: Help End Traffic Accident/Fatalities "Know Your Traffic S...Terence Morris
This document presents a learner systems module on traffic signs aimed at both drivers and pedestrians. It aims to help end pedestrian crosswalk accidents and fatalities through increasing awareness of traffic signs and safety. The module explains driver responsibility, distractions, the importance of public safety, and automated transportation systems. It contains information on traffic signs and quizzes participants to test their knowledge. The overall goal is to educate on safety awareness through understanding traffic signs and one's role in public transportation policy and prevention of accidents.
This document outlines a public relations campaign for the University of Georgia's Auxiliary Services department. It includes a situational analysis, goals and objectives, and tactics. The situational analysis identifies students as the primary public and faculty, staff, bus drivers, and organizations as secondary publics. It also discusses the department's strengths in promotional access and budget, and weaknesses in social media presence and partner disconnect. The goals aim to increase transportation safety awareness, encourage safe behaviors, and evaluate effectiveness. Tactics include events, social media campaigns, and partnerships with other university departments.
Opioid Abuse and Suicide in The United StatesTerence Morris
Opioid Abuse & Suicide
has become a major public health crisis in the United States, with over 130 people dying every day from opioid-related drug overdoses. But the impact of this epidemic goes beyond just overdose deaths. Opioid abuse has also been linked to an increase in suicide rates, particularly in rural areas. In this article, we will explore the connection between opioid abuse and suicide and discuss the Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act, a new legislation aimed at addressing this issue. Studies have shown that individuals who abuse opioids are at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This is due to the effects of opioids on the brain, which can lead to changes in mood, behavior, and decision-making. Opioid abuse can also exacerbate underlying mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, which are known risk factors for suicide.
In addition, the social and economic consequences of opioid abuse, such as job loss, financial strain, and strained relationships, can also contribute to feelings of hopelessness and despair, increasing the risk of suicide. In response to the growing opioid epidemic and its impact on rural communities, the Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act was introduced in Congress in 2019. This legislation aims to address the unique challenges faced by rural areas in combating opioid abuse and its consequences.
The act includes provisions for increasing access to treatment and recovery services in rural areas, as well as funding for prevention and education programs. It also includes measures to improve data collection and monitoring of opioid abuse in rural communities, which can help inform future prevention efforts.
One of the lesser-known consequences of opioid abuse is the risk of colon burst, also known as colonic perforation. This occurs when the colon becomes weakened and ruptures due to chronic constipation caused by opioid use. This can lead to serious complications, including sepsis and death.
The risk of colon burst is particularly high in individuals who abuse opioids through injection, as the drugs can cause damage to the colon and surrounding tissues. This is just one of the many devastating consequences of opioid abuse that highlights the urgent need for prevention and treatment efforts.
If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid abuse, it is important to seek help immediately. There are many resources available, including hotlines, support groups, and treatment centers. Remember, recovery is possible and seeking help is the first step towards a healthier and happier life.
The connection between opioid abuse and suicide is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. The Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to address this crisis. By raising awareness and providing support and resources, we can help prevent opioid abuse and save lives.

CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP: TRANSLATING STRATEGIC OPERATIONAL DECISION...Terence Morris
This book details how the Covid-19 Pandemic changed the way restaurant industry managers started to re-invent ways to effectively lead within their organizations. As a former restaurant manager, Morris makes a fascinating contribution to our understanding of the management leadership system through profiling the complex power dynamics in these organizations—explains through a series of case studies why it is not easy to agree to disagree with upper management when entry-level managers must maintain their competitive applicability. Breaking from company culture, leadership styles and organizational effectiveness sometimes disconnects employees from one another and the company’s mission and vision. How do you improve your career with the same company? How can you internally apply for the next promotion?
Finally, what is expected from entry-level managers trying to take the next step, becoming a senior manager. This book can also serve entry-level managers looking for an easy to understand manual about leadership theory and best practices that are essential to the effectiveness of an organizational manager. Not only is this book a great read, but it provides excellent resources to turn to for simulation studies of more complex organizational systems because it creates observations by “moving forward” into the future, of aligning management leadership styles. Whereas some other research manuals attempt to look backwards across history to determine what happened, and how.
The goal of transport policy is to make effective decisions concerning the allocation of transport resources, including the management and regulation of existing transportation activities. Thus, transport policy can be concomitantly a public and private endeavor.
Humans affect Learner Model Systems (LMS) originating in environmental costs, which alter future human decisions and behavior. Modular Networks online offer heterogeneity, feedback, and emergence. Technological innovations in crosswalk procurements (i.e., HAWK” = High Intensity Activated Crosswalk) warn and control motorists at marked, un-signalized crosswalks to assist pedestrians crossing a street or highway. Data collection, physical measurements, behavioral observations and archives, and scientific reports contribute to understanding geographic study. THE LEGAL CONTEXT OF HUMAN DECISIONS “ignites” interesting health education programs where priority is given to implementing policies necessary to achieve desired change and public safety action(s).

MODULAR IDEOLOGY EVOLVES INTELLECTUALLY AS PUBLIC-POLICY PROCESSES BEGIN TO AFFECT STIMULATED ATTITUDINAL CHANGES UNILATERALLY WHILE EMERGING IN PRIVATE-SECTOR ECONOMIES, BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO COMPETE FOR CONTENT PURCHASERS ASSET ALLOCATION DECISIONS. ALONG WITH ASSET ALLOCATION DECISIONS, “SPECIFICITY-SURVEY” SYSTEMS THEORY RECOGNIZES BOTH EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL INFLUENCES ON ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR. EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDE WORLD FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, GLOBAL COMPETITION FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND POLITICAL AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS (BURKE, 1994).

39. As previously addressed in FY2016 Oklahoma Highway Safety
Office reports (see Performance Measure C-10 on page 10),
Oklahoma did not meet the 2015 target for reducing the number of
pedestrian fatalities. Partly because of retroactive responses to
issues which systemically affect public transportation policy in the
United States. And more so because of an acute lack of awareness
and understanding of pedestrian crosswalk education in
Oklahoma.
In response, Oklahoma initiated a request for 12 – FY 2016 Funded
Project Expenditures 13 NHTSA Countermeasures That Work, A
Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety
Offices, Seventh Edition, 2013 [1] manual which stipulates the type
of activities and priorities each county in Oklahoma should be
concerned with based on statistical findings of the Governor’s
Oklahoma Highway Safety Office.
