Safe Systems principles include adapt to human behavior, manage energy transfer, treat safety as foundation for all interventions, and foster shared vision and coordinated action. Systems Science principles include apply tools to manage complexity, explore system assumptions and interactions, and provide framework for considering policies and engaging stakeholders.CSCRS Safe Systems Summer Learning Series

CSCRS is excited to continue its new Safe Systems Summer Learning Series. This series of free virtual events will be held on Fridays in July – August 2021; the third session, Redesigning the System to Support Safety, is on Friday, July 30. In this series, we will bring together panelists with diverse perspectives to reflect on core Safe System concepts and the broader system in which our transportation work unfolds.
