Bridging the Gap (2018)

Bridging the Gap Summit 2018

About the Conference

The 2nd National Summit on Rural Road Safety was held December 4-6, 2018 in Savannah, GA. It was co-hosted by the National Center for Rural Road Safety (Safety Center) and the National Association of County Engineers (NACE). Sponsors included: AASHTO, the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) at Rutgers, Cambridge Systematics, and Lux Solar.

At this second summit, our goal was to lead an action oriented event with interactive sessions that provided REAL takeaways to assist attendees on their Road to Zero. A great group of speakers, facilitators and trainers were assembled to assist and inspire attendees with the hopes that attendees would leave feeling empowered to improve the safety of the rural roadway systems within their jurisdictions.

Remember, together we can make a difference in improving safety for your family, community, and all road users!
