Traffic Management for Planned Special Events

The Planned Special Events Program provides handbooks, training and checklists to help practitioners as they develop plans using the advance information regarding the

Advanced planning and coordination to develop and deploy the operational strategies, traffic control plans, protocols, procedures, and technologies needed to control traffic and share real-time information with other stakeholders on the day of the event.
Location, time, duration, and demand expected for a planned special event. Public agencies can exploit this advanced information to minimize the effect these events may have on the general public, motorists, public agencies, and others service providers.
Way communities can enhance their image by providing a safe, efficient, and convenient environment for those who travel to and from an event, while at the same time minimizing any congestion-related impacts it may have on other motorists.

2012 Lifesavers Conference

The Lifesavers 30th National Conference on Highway Safety Priorities, held June 14-16, 2012 in Orlando, Florida, will feature more than 90 workshops; with a new track focusing on the safety/operational aspects of Traffic Incident Management/Planned Special Events. The conference will also offer a chance to network with over 100 exhibitors, and view the posters focused on the latest technology and innovations.

Join us as practitioners share their traffic incident management and planned special events expertise and knowledge. As part of the larger conference, take advantage of the opportunity to meet others concerned with roadside safety and to learn what they're doing to make traveling safer for all.

The organization of the sessions allows for the sharing of knowledge across specific subjects. The benefit of this cross-cutting organization allows attendees to learn firsthand what worked in other disciplines and may be ready for traffic incident management and transportation management for planned special events.

Do you have a good example of current practices you've implemented? Consider sharing what you've done as part of the poster display in the exhibit hall. For more information about poster submissions, visit www.lifesaversconference.org/posters.html.
