What is the Road Safety Champion Program?
The Road Safety Champion Program (RSCP) is a nationally recognized certification program that equips professionals with safety-focused skills for managing, maintaining, and designing local roads. The Program focuses on reducing serious injuries and fatalities by building a workforce skilled in road safety. It includes seven main courses and two specialized paths, open to Texas city and county employees. The program will be offered virtually through live sessions and interactive assignments, combining independent online work with hands-on, collaborative exercises.
To complete the program, participants must finish all seven core modules to gain essential road safety knowledge. After completing the main modules, participants must chose and complete one of the two pathways: a) Planning and Engineering, or b) Maintenance and Construction.
Core Modules + Chosen Pathway = Road Safety Champion Certificate
Classes are open to Texas City and County employees, even if you're not pursuing full certification.
