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

Data-driven approaches to traffic safety are critical to reducing motor vehicle traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Traffic safety data may be used to evaluate performance, inform decisions, and allocate resources, among many other uses.

In this free two-hour training, learn about the different types of data, data challenges for local agencies, and the various tools available for network screening. Discussions include Highway Safety Manual, usRAP, Road Safety Audits, Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool, and Crash Tree Maker.

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.
