Full course description
ON-DEMAND, Available anytime.
This course is one of seven core modules in the Road Safety Champion Program. This course will equip human factors “non”-experts to better consider the capabilities and limitation of road users and incorporate them into policies and practices. Knowing how road users interact with their vehicle, the roadway, and other road users can also provide useful insights for decision making for construction and maintenance personnel, planners, engineers, public health professionals, and law enforcement.
Intended Audience
This course is ideal for beginners and those seeking foundational knowledge in road safety. It is also suitable for participants from the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), local-level municipalities, and city hall personnel. Additionally, students or staff in transportation, public health, and first responder agencies who are interested in roadway safety but may not have formal training in this area will find this course beneficial.
