Our first panel of the day is now underway: Bigger Vehicles, Bigger Risks moderated by Owen Waygood, Professor of Sustainable Transport at @polymtl.bsky.social #CARSP2025 #ParachuteVZ

Keynote speaker @ianlockwood.net at #CARSP2025 talks about three types of safety: While statistical safety goals (such as #VisionZero to end death on our roads) are important, if people don't feel safe, they won't let their kids walk to school or they won't take transit. Also key: safe practices.

#CARSP2025 conference in @villequebec.bsky.social kicks off its third day with a presentation from Brigitte Diogo, the Associate Deputy Minister of Transport Canada. #VisionZero

All together now! The final stop for our #CARSP2025 #Walkshop in Quebec City - a chance first to reflect and discuss, then a group photo in front of the iconic @fairmonthotels.bsky.social Château Frontenac. #VisionZero

Our third #wallkshop stop at #CARSP2025 is along he St. Lawrence River. Quebec Coty engineer Jérome Nadeau discusses challenges and improvements to cycling lane system in the city. This path was rerouted as it conflicted with harbour ships and has lanes in both directions. #cycling #VisionZero

Next stop on the #walkshop for #CARSP2025 with landscape architect Sophie Tremblay-Gratton, who talks about how a redesign has transformed this hub in front of City Hall from a car-dominated hub to an area inviting and safer for pedestrians #VisionZero

First stop of the #CARSP2025 walk shop organized by @parachute.ca Pierre-Luc Lachance, executive committee member of City of Quebec, talks about the conversion of several streets within old Quebec to pedestrian only and how local businesses have adapted. #VisionZero

A glimpse at the day job: representing @parachute.ca as
VP, Marketing and Communications and taking the opportunity to promote our new Introduction to Injury Prevention course to delegates at #CARSP2025 conference 🎤 parachute.ca/introtoip #ParachuteVZ #VisionZero

Lars Ekman of the Swedish Transportation Authority concludes his keynote at #CARSP2025 with the message that #VisionZero goal of zero deaths on our road is a “thrilling challenge”, possible, but that “substantial actions” are needed. Reducing crashes should not be the goal but reducing human harm.

"It's tragic that we have designed a system where so many suffer,": Lars Ekman from the Swedish Transportation Authority goes through the differences between traditional approaches to road safety and the #VisionZero approach to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries. #CARSP2025

Parachute is cohosting this #CARSP2025 road safety conference, being held in @villequebec.bsky.social . #VisionZero .

Lars Ekman, from the Swedish Transport Administration delivers the keynote address. "The new buzzword is AI: that will solve everything tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." But when an AI tool designed a safe school crossing and it came up with the image below: what's wrong w this pic? #CARSP2025

At #CARSP2025, bringing greetings from @parachute.ca to 230 delegates gathered to discuss #RoadSafety #VisionZero with the theme "Innovative internvetions and technologies for safer roads: A global perspective."

A Bichon Frise dog sits on a beige carpet and looks up at the photographer taking her picture.

A scruffy-looking Bichon Frise in a red harness is in the foreground of the picture, sitting on a concrete pad. Behind her are two other small dogs standing, one with white body and dark head, the other mostly dark fur with a begie snout. Beyind them is a patio table with two red chairs visible and a slat wood fence in the background.

I'll be reporting on #CARSP2025 #RoadSafety and #VisionZero for the next few days from #VilledeQuebec. But first: while away, Ruby the #Bichon is staying with an at-home dog boarder. At left: a solo portrait. At right: apparently she is now fronting a punk band releasing their first album. #Dogsky
