Talking road safety: A Q & A with ODOT’s Troy Costales

ODOT Traffic Safety Division
Manager Troy Costales.

Troy Costales is the Traffic Safety Division Manager for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). In that position, he oversees about $28 million per year in a variety of programs to decrease the amount of fatal and injury crashes on Oregon roads. Costales was also on the committee put together by the Transportation Research Board to find out why the United States continues to lag behind other countries when it comes to saving lives. The TRB issued a report on their findings last week.

With recent national attention on road safety and with last week’s launch of a new safety campaign for high-speed roads (many of them under the jurisdiction of ODOT), I’ve been taking a closer look at ODOT’s traffic safety efforts. As part of my research, I did a phone interview with Costales last Thursday. Read parts of that conversation below…

The Cyclocross Meeting is a documentary meditation on the sport of cyclocross and the human connections it inspires around the world. The film follows pro Barry Wicks and rising star Adam McGrath to Japan where they compete with seven time Japanese National Champion Keiichi Tsujiura and the up and coming talent Yu Takenouchi.

A lushly textured paean to the hardships and joys of the excruciating sport, the film explores the challenges and personal narrative behind the pursuit of the “perfect ride.” Also featured is a rare interview and visit to the shop of 35 year veteran frame builder, Shigeru Nakagawa. Richly photographed and married with an evocative soundtrack featuring Talkdemonic, Roots of Orchis and Blktop Project, The Cyclocross Meeting is a celebratory exploration of the sport and its beauty as seen by its most dedicated riders from two sides of the ocean.

Snowy commute-6

There’s snow in the forecast! Weather pros think is very likely to begin tonight (just before the evening commute). With that in mind, I wanted to remind folks that using a bicycle when it’s snowing or when snow is on the roads is a completely viable way to get around — just as viable as using transit or driving a car.

As we’ve documented in years past, plenty of Portlanders have no trouble riding on snowy roads. Here are some photos in case you think that everyone hangs their bikes up when the snow comes down…

The Monday Roundup

Streetfilms looks to get ’em while they’re
young with Zozo, the livable streets mascot.

Here’s the news that caught our eye this week:

– Some (very) large companies are finding it beneficial to encourage employees to bike to work, and to stay active in general, in part as a way to control rising health care costs.

– After discovering that nearly half of bicycle deaths in London each year involved freight trucks, the city’s mayor has called for a ban on the heavy, high vehicles, saying they are incompatible with city streets.
