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

This free two-hour training will provide an overview of safety countermeasures applicable to local roads with an emphasis on low-cost practices. Discussions include Crash Modification Factors (CMFs), systemic safety analysis, and factors for evaluating and selecting countermeasures.

Road safety countermeasures are actions taken to improve transportation safety and therefore decrease the number of injuries and fatalities. These countermeasures can consist of infrastructure, behavioral, or programmatic/policy implementation.

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.
