It will use real world examples on different roadway components to demonstrate how participants may be able to uncover potential safety issues during their routine activities. It will also discuss how the road safety audit process can be used to “read the road” in a more formal approach. The training will also discuss the consequences daily activities of workers may have on safety.
Learning Objectives:

Define what is meant by “reading the road.”
Identify potential safety issues or identify any indications which suggest road users may have challenges traveling or navigating a roadway.
Identify “reading the road” step(s) in the Road Safety Audit (RSA) process.

National Center for Rural Road Safety: Transit as a Safety Strategy
2025-08-21 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
The National Center for Rural Road Safety and the NLTAPA Safety Work Group are co-hosting this FREE, 1.5-hour webinar.
This webinar will be held Thursday, August 21, 2025 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am Pacific Time.
On your road to zero, have you considered public transit as a strategy? If not, then this is the webinar for you! Public transit is considered one of the safest ways to travel, being ten times safer per mile than a car. Additionally, it decreases congestion, reduces the number of vehicles on the road, provides mobility for those who cannot or choose not to drive, and is a way to connect multiple modes of travel. In this webinar, we will examine a case study from Colorado and hear about how their state and regional systems work together to keep communities and tourists alike moving safely.
