No One Should Be the Second Person To Die on a Dangerous Street
Developed by nationally recognized transportation experts at Strong Towns, the Crash Analysis Studio approach moves beyond the myth of "driver error,"providing a life-saving new framework for analyzing—and ultimately preventing—car crashes.
01
Select a "routine" crash that occurred in your community, and choose to look deeper.
02
Bring together experts and community members to analyze the multiple factors that caused the crash, rather than merely blaming crash victims.
03
Identify what can be done to reduce the frequency and trauma of future crashes.
