The Accelerating Safety Activities Program (ASAP) is designed to help Safety Focus States promote safety innovations. Kentucky was awarded ASAP funding to host a Roadside Safety Improvements for Rural Roads course.
The Roadside Safety Improvements for Rural Roads course is designed for local governments to reduce roadway departures and fatalities. Speakers include subject experts from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and local governments within Kentucky. The program is a two day training event which includes seven of the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures and a review of Kentucky's Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The following additional topics requested by local governments will also be addressed: High Friction Service Treatments, Shoulder Maintenance and Shoulder Drop Off, Signs Supports, and Guardrails.
Technology Transfer (T2) is currently finalizing the dates and locations and will host the two day training in various locations around the state. Look in the coming weeks and posted to our social media pages and website.
