WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
This webinar focuses on processes for incorporating safety into all aspects of local and rural road projects, and on making safety a priority through inclusion in the traditional decision-making process—365 days a year. The course stresses the importance of road safety and illustrates how it can be integrated into local transportation project development at all stages: planning, design, construction, implementation, operations, and maintenance. Through practical exercises and facilitator-led discussions, the emphasis is on operations and maintenance to reflect the predominant, day-to-day responsibilities of local transportation agencies. The benefits and potential cost savings of safety initiatives are shown using examples from local agencies.
After completing this module, participants will be able to:
- Describe practical and low-cost countermeasures to improve safety, both on existing roads and during the design stage.
- Identify effective ways of encouraging communities to make their roads safer.
- Create an action list for implementing at least one safety improvement at their local agency.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This workshop is aimed primarily at local and rural road and/or public works supervisors. Elected officials, public safety advocates, state DOT personnel, enforcement, consultants, contractors, development districts, local planning commissions and MPOs would also greatly benefit from the Road Safety 365 workshop. While road safety concepts are presented at an introductory level, the workshop may also serve as a refresher for experienced road safety professionals.
