DESCRIPTION:Brice Batomen Kuimi\, PhD\n\nAssistant Professor | Dalla Lana S
 chool of Public Health | University of Toronto\n\nWHERE: Hybrid | 2001 McG

 ng in-person from 2001 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ College\, Rm 1140\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nProfou
 nd shifts in transportation patterns ensued with the onset of the COVID-19
  pandemic. Following the first wave of the pandemic\, several cities acros
 s North America launched active transportation efforts to support walking 
 and cycling when physical distancing measures were still in place. This in
 cluded expanding bicycling networks\, shared public spaces\, and pedestria
 n-only streets. In parallel\, there was a shift from public transit to pri
 vate cars\, potentially impacting road users differently. Vulnerable Road 
 users may now face greater safety risks. As active transportation options\
 , cycling and walking have numerous benefits for individuals and the envir
 onment\, but safety is a major public health concern. This presentation ex
 amines pedestrian and bicyclist injuries before and during the pandemic (2
 012 – 2022) in several Canadian cities using police-reported killed or sev
 erely injured (KSI)\, emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization
  data.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nBy the end of this session\, attendees wi
 ll:\n\n\n	Understand the advantage of conducting an Interrupted Time Series
  using the simulation approach\;\n	Understand the impact of the COVID-19 pa
 ndemic on on vulnerable road users using several data sources and utilizin
 g data beyond the first year of the pandemic\;\n	Discuss how the lack of hi
 gh-quality data with temporal granularity for motor vehicles\, pedestrian 
 and bicycle\, volume\, motor vehicle speed limit current studies.\n\n\nSpe
 aker Bio\n\nBrice Batomen is an epidemiologist\, Assistant Professor in Ep
 idemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health\, University of Toron
 to. His work focuses on access to trauma care and injury prevention in Can
 ada. His current research goals aim to identify the characteristics of the
  road network that promote active transportation and safety using innovati
 ve data collection and analytic methods. He earned his PhD in epidemiology
  at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University\, after completing his Master of Science in epidemio
 logy at Laval University\, and his undergraduate studies in Biomedical Sci
 ences at Dschang University\, Cameroon.\n\n \n
