New - Road Safety Audit Certification is being explored by TPCB<\/em><\/p>\n

TPCB is considering the development of a Road Safety Audit (RSA) Certification program to enhance industry consistency and strengthen professional competencies. To guide this effort, TPCB assembled an advisory group to provide input and recommendations to TPCB. The advisory group is comprised of Canadian and US practitioners representing public and private agencies, as well as academia.<\/p>\n

This advisory group is currently collecting feedback from the broader transportation industry in both countries.<\/p>\n

A survey has been developed for the CARSP members to complete with their feedback regarding the potential development of a RSA certification program. The survey can be accessed by the link and QR code below. If you have not already, please complete the survey by going to https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/CARSPNews<\/a><\/p>\n
