Traffic and Safety Academy
The Kentucky Transportation Center's Technology Transfer Program (T2) has been awarded funding through the Accelerating Safety Activities Program (ASAP) to conduct another Traffic and Safety Academy for local governments. 

The Academy is designed to offer local governments training to reduce roadway departures and pedestrian fatalities.  Specific topics include: low-cost safety improvements, examining crash data, risk management, regulations and guidelines, pedestrian safety, and roadway departures.

Through the ASAP grant provided by the Federal Highway Administration, this training is provided at no charge to local governments. 

T2 has not confirmed a date or location, but we plan to offer the Academy in the Fall.  Once all information is set, we will announce the training on our website ( www.kyt2.com) and here in the Newsflash.
