The National Center for Rural Road Safety (NCRRS) is hosting an online training on Maintaining a Safer Roadway as part of its latest virtual delivery of the Road Safety Champion Program (RSCP).

Local agency maintenance forces are in the best position to be the “eyes and ears” of the road when it comes to identifying safety issues. This two-hour training will focus on maintenance safety solutions that local maintenance forces can implement on a daily basis to address safety issues related to elements such as shoulder drop-offs, right-of-way obstructions, striping and signing, guardrails, mowing, sweeping, patching, drainage, winter maintenance, etc.

This training also includes a hands-on case study and will discuss a process that can be utilized to improve safety through changes in policy and procedure.

RSCP is a nationally recognized certificate program designed to build a knowledgeable, safety minded workforce, responsible for operating, maintaining, and designing local roads. Road Safety Champions prioritize safety and are motivated to implement safety improvements that reduce fatalities and serious injuries on rural and local roadways.

RSCP training participants that complete a series of courses in core and specialized safety issues will be awarded a Road Safety Champion Program Certificate.
