Safety Circuit Rider Program Selects
2015 Focus Counties
The Safety Circuit Rider for the Technology Transfer Program uses crash data to locate high incident sites along roadways and assist communities in finding low cost roadway safety improvements. The Safety Circuit Rider works with local governments to remove fixed objects such as trees, brush, stumps, etc. and to install signage per MUTCD guidelines. This FREE technical advice is helping communities across the state of Kentucky save lives every day.
While the free technical advice offered by the Safety Circuit Rider is available to every community across the Commonwealth, the program selects counties with high crash rates to focus on.
The counties selected for 2015 are Clay, Lincoln, McLean, Pendleton, Powell and Taylor.
Jeff M. Hackbart, P.E., is the current Safety Circuit Rider for Kentucky. He can be contacted at 502-320-6294 or [email protected].
