usRAP Launches Revamped Online Trainings!

Initially developed with the generous support of the Road to Zero Coalition's Safe System Innovation Grants initiative, RSF's online usRAP training courses have been updated and revamped by Iowa State University. Thanks to ongoing support from the Federal Highway Administration, we continue to be able to offer these courses at no charge to public agencies and their representatives. Learn about a proactive, data-driven approach to safety and join a community of practitioners that together has prevented over 700,000 deaths and serious injuries and assessed over a million miles of roadway worldwide.

Get trained and earn PDH credits today - online and on-demand. 

Please note that while the courses are free of charge to enrollees, a valid address with zip code is still required in the Iowa State Extension Store system to complete registration. For a seamless process, please create an Extension Store account and add a mailing address prior to selecting your usRAP course and adding it to your cart.
