The National Center for Rural Road Safety (NCRRS) just wrapped-up delivery of core training modules for its Road Safety Champion Program (RSCP), a nationally recognized certificate program designed to build a knowledgeable, safety-minded workforce responsible for operating, maintaining, and designing local roads.

RSCP includes seven core training modules PLUS specialized "career-focused pathways". Once participants complete the seven core modules and one pathway, they're awarded a Road Safety Champion Program Certificate.
