Summer Institute

The Center for Excellence in Rural Safety holds an annual Summer Institute to bring together national experts to discuss technological, policy, behavioral, and educational issues related to rural transportation safety. Through the event activities, the Center will assemble training materials and create policy recommendations for decision makers, as well as provide input on the priorities of the Center.

The annual Summer Institute, held over two days for approximately 50 invited attendees, includes practitioners, policymakers, and academics in the field of transportation safety, with speakers being chosen from among them. The location is in a small urban and cost-effective location that rotates between the regions of partner organizations.
