Safety Consciousness Planning Training Program

The objective of this project is to develop a training program to integrate safety as a key planning factor and performance measure for all transportation plans and programs. The National Transit Institute will develop, deliver, and continue to update a training program on the subject Safety Conscious Planning. This 16-hour training program on Safety Conscious Planning is designed for transportation planners and safety professionals in agencies at the state, regional, and local levels. TEA-21 requires that "each statewide and metropolitan planning process shall provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will increase the safety and security of the transportation systems for motorized and non-motorized users."
