Road Safety Champion Program
The Road Safety Champion Program (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. In California, CALTAP will be bringing this training to our local agency audience soon.
RSCP training participants complete a series of courses in core and specialized safety issues. Once all requirements are met, program graduates are awarded a Road Safety Champion Program Certificate to reflect their level of training achievement.
Who Can Participate?
RSCP is designed for professionals in transportation, public health, law enforcement, emergency response, planning, engineering, and related fields who support roadway safety efforts but are not safety specialists.
It is ideal for staff looking to strengthen their understanding of roadway safety principles and contribute to safer transportation systems within their organization or community.
What is Involved?
RSCP includes seven core modules and four career focused pathways. The core modules provide an overall foundation of roadway safety knowledge and participants will learn the basics they need to know.
The career focused pathways are based on your career field and provide more targeted information. Pick one of the four pathways, complete the modules, and voila – you’re a road safety champion!
