Next Webinar - Daylighting in Austin: A Proactive, Data-Driven Approach to Safer Intersections

Wednesday, February 18 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
The City of Austin recently completed a daylighting study with Toole Design to improve intersection safety and advance its Vision Zero goals. (Daylighting involves removing sightline obstructions near intersections and physically preventing cars from parking too close to a crossing.) While many cities implement safety treatments after crashes occur, Austin is pioneering a more proactive, data-driven approach for daylighting. Building on five years of crash data, the study used a machine learning algorithm to identify systemic risk factors, developed a prioritization framework, and virtually reviewed more than 200 intersections. This approach allows Austin to target high-risk sites through facility profiles, ensuring the City invests resources where daylighting countermeasures can help prevent the largest number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The initiative also created an implementation toolkit with quick-build and long-term design strategies, as well as communication tools to build public support. This webinar will share findings from the study, lessons from peer cities, and how Austin is embedding daylighting into policies, design standards, and capital planning. Participants will leave with practical strategies for systemically evaluating, prioritizing, and implementing daylighting in their own communities.
The Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals is seeking proposals for the 2026 Conference to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center from August 10-12, 2026.

This fall, the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals held a live two day, educational summit composed of two keynote speakers and 6 breakout sessions focused on the many facets of the active transportation field. Up to 9.0 total hours of AICP credits were offered for the 2025 Virtual Summit.
Recordings and presentations from the 2025 Virtual Summit are available for on-demand purchase!
