The U.S. Road Assessment Program: A Proactive Approach to Data-Driven Safety Analysis and Planning
This course is intended for prospective users of usRAP and senior staff who are considering whether a usRAP project is right for their agency. It covers the history of usRAP, the research basis for its protocols, the process of conducting a usRAP study, and the outputs from usRAP's ViDA software. Participants will learn what is required to conduct a usRAP project (data, labor, etc.), and how the program's star ratings and safer roads investment plans can provide a rational assessment of risk as a basis for informed decisionmaking.
