Every Second Matters® Symposium
September 25, 2018 | Hartford, CT
More than 40,000 people died on U.S. roads in 2017* – a staggering number. Policymakers, law enforcement and victims’ families point to distracted driving as an important contributing factor. But so far, efforts to curb distracted driving have fallen woefully short. With 94 percent of crashes involving human error**, can brain science and psychology provide insights to dramatically reduce distraction-related roadway fatalities and injuries? Can technology play a role in solving the problem it helped to create?
Presented by the Travelers Institute, the Connecticut Transportation Safety Research Center, the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the National Safety Council, and the Road to Zero Coalition.
