Abstract:The research presented herein summarizes the research and education efforts conducted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks as part of the Outreach, Synthesis, and Baseline Data efforts promoted by the Center for Safety Equity in its first year of operation. These key areas were to effectively engage relevant parties needed for larger research efforts, better evaluate what work has been done and how effective existing programs are and establish a baseline using existing and relevant data to inform and evaluate CSET safety efforts and identify commonalities and differences in RITI safety needs across the consortium states. Dozens of outreach events were hosted by CSET and several other events in which CSET participated to develop and foster key connections and collaborations with community members and agencies. CSET help sponsor and coordinate a regional conference focusing on transportation safety, bringing together diverse perspectives on the safety needs of rural, isolated, tribal, and indigenous (RITI) communities. CSET regularly participated in the annual Alaska Federation of Natives convention, using it as an opportunity for outreach and knowledge gathering. Three-dimensional models were designed and printed for the purpose of demonstrating the challenges of building roads in Alaska. Available data sources were compared to determine and highlight deficiencies in current analytical frameworks and support the need to incorporate other data sources in rural and tribal communities for the purposes of transportation planning and safety evaluation.
