Foundation makes presentation to the

129^th Annual Winter Conference of the CEAO

(County Engineers Association of Ohio)

On December 8, 2009, The Sandy Johnson Foundation presented our seminar on driver-conditioning at the 129^th annual winter conference sponsored by the County Engineers Association of Ohio. Ninety-nine members attended the hour long presentation where several objectives were accomplished, including:

 The introduction of driver-conditioning together with a definition and examples of how it affects highway safety;

1. An explanation of the impact driver-conditioning has on the thought processes of motorists; and
2. The disclosure of methods highway officials can use to help drivers combat the affects of driver-conditioning.

 Some of the comments received include:

 “I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation yesterday on driver conditioning. It is always nice to have a new perspective and thought process introduced….”

• “You nailed it!”
• “You did a fine job getting your message to the audience….”
• “I will use several items from your presentation as I evaluate existing intersections, and as I design new ones.”
• “Thanks for coming and sharing at the CEAO conference.  I think your presentation was very well received!” 
• “I look forward to working with you again.” 
• “Your PowerPoint show was also very well done.” 

I would like to extend my thanks to the CEAO and to Dean Ringle, Franklin County Engineer, for the opportunity to present driver-conditioning.
