Maintaining a Safer Roadway
Pilot Course
The Technology Transfer Program (T2) is testing a new course called Maintaining a Safer Roadway as a national pilot course.  We are looking for assistance from local government employees who are willing to attend this new course.  Every participant will be asked to provide feedback to help us improve the course before it is released nationally.

Maintaining a Safer Roadway is designed to provide local and rural agencies with practical and effective ways to implement safety solutions into day-to-day operations and project development.

This course is offered to local governments at no cost!  Funding is provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).  Lunch and materials will be provided.

Space is limited so advanced registration is required.
