RURAL ROAD SAFETY CENTER

Our philosophy is to empower as many state, local, and tribal agencies as possible with the most effective safety tools and strategies that are currently available. Building on a growing body of multi-disciplinary research, best practices and successful deployments in rural environments, the Safety Center is poised to help agencies with their immediate rural road safety challenges. Our goal is to deliver trainings that accelerate change and make it possible for agency managers, planners, operations staff and maintenance crews to do their jobs better the very next day... To reach such a large and widespread audience, we will work closely with synergistic organizations, especially LTAPs and TTAPs across the country. These organizations provide an established, successful model for conducting transportation training at the local level. They will play a key role in our Stakeholder Panel, and we believe we can support and add value to their programs by providing them with enhanced training..
