Academy for Sustainable Communities Events

In this session, researchers from the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University will share successes and lessons learned from four years of planning, designing, installing, and evaluating pop up traffic calming projects in Montana communities that range in size from 1,000 to 50,000 people. Pop-up traffic calming refers to temporary and interim style installations that are low cost, easy to install, and are iterative in nature. They provide the opportunity to try new ideas and evaluate impacts on driver and pedestrian behavior, vehicle speeds, and community perceptions.
