The Road Safety Champion Program (RSCP) is a nationally-recognized “Roadway Safety 101” training series. It is made for staff in transportation, public health, and first responder agencies who have an interest in roadway safety but are not safety experts.

The RSCP includes seven core modules plus career-focused pathways. Once participants complete the seven core modules and one pathway, they are awarded a Road Safety Champion Program Certificate.

The first module of the Public Health Pathway explores the relationship between public health and transportation through a public health-rooted approach to transportation safety. Participants will learn key terms and principles of public health practices as well as opportunities to integrate public health approaches and considerations into transportation safety work..
