Tristan Sayre completed his B.S. in Civil Engineering in 2019 from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Civil Engineering at UAF. Tristan is continuing research he began as an undergraduate student that seeks to quantify the spatial distribution of off-highway vehicle use and safety on public roads in Alaska and execute a pilot counting study to quantify rates of helmet use, passenger rates, and on-road use. Tristan also competes on the UAF Cross Country Ski and Running teams, coached local high-school ski teams while on exchange at Boise State in 2017, and was the recipient of the 2019 Coral Sales Douglas P. Daniels Scholarship.

Thesis Title: Quantifying Unlawful Use of Off-Highway Vehicles on Public Roads in Alaska

Thesis Summary: Many households in Alaska maintain a certain level of mobility through the use of “non-traditional” forms of transportation such as off-highway vehicles (OHVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) as they are multi-purpose in nature However, their use on roads and public facilities increases safety concerns due to the disparate capabilities with highway vehicles. To obtain a better understanding of OHV use on public facilities and related safety issues, a pilot counting study was conducted along with a media discourse analysis and a spatial analysis of OHV crashes and traumas.
