Congratulations to second-year student Camille Lust for being selected as a 2025 Lifesavers Traffic Safety Scholar (TSS). She will attend the Lifesavers Conference on Roadway Safety, March 9-11 in Long Beach, California. Camille is pursuing a masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning and is one of 29 U.S. students chosen through a nationwide, competitive application process. The Lifesavers Conference showcases the latest research, evidence-based strategies, proven countermeasures, and promising new approaches for addressing the nation’s most pressing traffic safety issues.
This is the 10th year of the Traffic Safety Scholars program, which provides college students the opportunity to attend the Lifesavers Conference, the largest gathering of traffic safety professionals in the U.S. The Lifesavers TSS Program showcases the multitude of opportunities in traffic safety and encourages students, regardless of discipline, to pursue a career in a dynamic field that draws from a variety of disciplines including engineering, education and enforcement, communications, business, marketing, medicine, public health, political science, counseling, and more.
Camille and her fellow Scholars will kick off their Lifesavers Conference experience on March 8, 2025, at the TSS Reception and Expert Panel Discussion as they learn about career opportunities from a panel of traffic safety professionals working in the public and private sectors and interact with panelists immediately following the discussion. The TSS designation also provides a scholarship to attend the conference.
At the conference, Scholars will attend two plenary sessions and nine workshops from the more than 80 offered featuring leading experts in the fields of distracted and impaired driving; child passenger safety; pedestrian, bicycle and micromobility; motorcycle, teen, and aging driver safety; occupant protection; vehicle technology; law enforcement and criminal justice; public health; commercial motor vehicles; roadway design; and more.
