The TRB's parent organization—the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—has recently reviewed its policies regarding conflict of interest. To ensure that we are compliant with these policies, TRB’s Cooperative Research Programs have revised and updated our own conflict of interest guidelines for members of panels, oversight committees, and contractors. Please review the Conflict of Interest Resource Page to see these revisions.
BTSCRP 2023 Annual Report
The 2023 Annual Report for the Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program (BTSCRP) is now available! You can read more about current and pending projects, sponsors, and other details about the program.
Published in 2023, BTSCRP Web-Only Document 6: Communicating Safe Behavior Practices to Vulnerable Road Users presents a toolkit to help traffic safety practitioners communicate safe behavior practices to vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, all of whom lack the basic safety protections provided to vehicle occupants by automobiles.
Published in 2023, BTSCRP Research Report 8: Highway Safety Behavioral Strategies for Rural and Tribal Areas: A Guide presents results from a multidisciplinary research project that developed a toolkit of behavioral traffic safety countermeasures for highway safety partners focused on rural road safety (e.g., tribal authorities, local government, law enforcement, emergency responders, engineers) to reduce the frequency and severity of motor vehicle crashes on roads in rural areas.
Published in 2023, BTSCRP Research Report 9: E-Scooter Safety Toolbox presents findings from a multiyear research effort that sought to build on existing research to date, identify key gaps in knowledge and data related to e-scooter behavioral safety, and develop evidence-based guidelines that can enhance the coordination of behavioral safety programs and countermeasures with a broader toolbox of approaches to improve safety for all road users.
