The Crash Analysis Studio: What is it?

The Crash Analysis Studio:
--Generates awareness of the flaws in our current system for evaluating the cause of traffic collisions.
--Creates an alternative framework for crash analysis that takes all factors into account and can be used by cities and towns to improve the design and safety of their streets.
--Creates resources that street designers across North America can use as precedent, leading to safer design practices that prioritize crash prevention.
--Encourages media outlets to consider all factors of causation in their coverage of traffic collisions, helping to prevent future harm.
