Rural roads are a key part of towns, villages, and Tribal reservations across the United States. However, rural roads may face transportation safety challenges. FHWA is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET and will focus on addressing road safety in rural communities. Please register here.
During this webinar, you will learn about strategies, tools, and resources to:
1. Implement low-cost safety improvements on rural roads,
2. Conduct a Road Safety Audit on rural roads,
3. Develop State-local partnerships to accelerate project delivery to improve road safety, and
