Justice Center (NIJC) to create educational resources for
California tribal communities to provide them with guidelines and
processes for conducting Road Safety Audits (RSA). FHWA will
demonstrate how to conduct an effective RSA in a training video
that will be designed to cultivate other trainers within tribal
communities.A companion online course will be developed to
reinforce information and concepts from the video and to foster
better awareness among tribal community
members of the benefits of RSAs for increasing roadway
multi-modal safety.
