The Transportation and Development Institute of ASCE (T&DI), and its partner the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) are sponsoring a focused workshop on road, pedestrian and bicycle safety.  The workshop will be held October 10, 2007 in Room 125 of the Ft. Lauderdale – Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in conjunction with the Intertraffic North America trade show (www.northamerica.intertraffic.com). 

This workshop is targeted toward transportation engineers and planners interested in roadway, work zone, bicycle and pedestrian safety; planning and design of bicycle and multi-user trails, and accommodation of pedestrians in the right-of-way.  The workshop will also have a session devoted to the Put the Brakes on Fatalities program.  Put the Brakes on Fatalities is a national program designed to have transportation professionals educate the public on how their driving actions have a direct impact on the number of annual fatalities in the US.  The workshop is occurring on the 7th Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day, October 10, 2007 which will be celebrated as part of the workshop.
