July 18-22, 2022 will mark the Rural Road Safety Center's Rural Road Safety Awareness Week. This year's event will focus on connecting with local road transportation officials about rural road safety opportunities.
For 2022, the Rural Road Safety Center is changing the focus of RRSAW from informing the general public to reaching rural road safety practitioners directly. This aligns better with our mission and resources. First, the National Center for Rural Road Safety equips rural road safety practitioners, so they would like to evolve RRSAW to focus on them. Second, they do not have enough resources or time to make a national impact on the behavior of the general public. The RRSC can impact practitioners who are already our core audience.
The overall theme is “Taking Action, Saving Lives.” Each weekday of the campaign will have a separate, but related, topic. The daily topics are:
- Monday: What’s Unique About Rural Road Safety?
- Tuesday: The Safe System Approach for Rural Roads
- Wednesday: Proven Safety Countermeasures for Rural Roads
- Thursday: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Rural Road Safety
- Friday: The Intersection of Rural Road Safety and Public Health
