12:00 pm EDT - 1:00 pm EDT

ZOOM


The presentation will include the purpose of road safety network screening and why it is important to the follow-up city-wide in-service safety review study. Based on various completed studies and research materials, the different ways to complete the network screening study (development of decision tree, identification of selection criteria, and presentation of the study outcomes) will also be discussed.

New! The first portion of this webinar will be the CARSP AGM.  Learn about CARSP’s committees, including the Young Professionals’ Committee, and how you can get involved. We will also share some exciting new things planned for CARSP in the near future. Lastly, we will give an update on CARSP’s finances. Please bring your questions and suggestions regarding CARSP’s services. All are welcome.  Important documents available for viewing prior to the AGM are here:  2022 Budget2021 Financial Statements.  For questions about the AGM, including these documents, email info@carsp.ca
