This section of the CARSP SNN aims to give our readers the most recent news about the RSP certification by the Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB) with a focus on the Canadian perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

The TPCB was established in 1998 to provide a mechanism to create and administer professional certifications for those involved in the practice of transportation (<\/span>www.tpcb.org<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The Professional Traffic Operations Engineers (PTOE) certification exams are offered to professionals with expertise and experience in topics such as traffic operational analysis, traffic engineering studies, operational effects of geometric designs, traffic safety, traffic control devices, and social, environmental, and institutional issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Professional Transportation Planned (PTP) certification exams are offered to professionals with expertise in topics such as land use and transportation analysis, needs assessment for short- and long-range planning, transportation system planning and evaluation, public policy, environmental analysis, and plan implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Road Safety Professional<\/b>, <\/span>Level 1,<\/b> (RSP<\/span>1<\/span>) certification exams are offered to professionals who have demonstrated proficiency in the foundations of road safety principles and make decisions or take actions that potentially impact the safety of the travelling public. This includes individuals in the engineering, motor vehicle, behavioural, law enforcement, policy development, and emergency response communities.\u00a0(<\/span>https:\/\/www.tpcb.org\/certification\/rsp1\/exam-format-and-content\/<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Road Safety Professional, Level 2<\/b>, (RSP<\/span>2<\/span>) has two specialties: behavioural (RSP<\/span>2<\/span>B) and infrastructure (RSP<\/span>2<\/span>I). The certification exams are offered to professionals whose primary job functions are dedicated to improving the safety performance of the surface transportation system. This includes professionals responsible for developing and implementing engineering or behavioural programs aimed at reducing the number of fatalities and injuries due to road crashes. (<\/span>https:\/\/www.tpcb.org\/certification\/road-safety-professional-2\/infrastructure-domains1\/<\/span><\/a>) and (<\/span>https:\/\/www.tpcb.org\/certification\/road-safety-professional-2\/exam-format-and-content-behavior-domains\/<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
