GIS Training and Road Safety Audit Week for Tribal Transportation Staff
We are pleased to announce an upcoming opportunity focused on strengthening transportation safety and technical capacity within Tribal communities. During the week of August 17–21, we will offer a combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) training and a Road Safety Audit (RSA) designed to support informed decision-making and improve roadway safety outcomes.
The GIS training will provide participants with practical, hands-on experience using tools and techniques to collect, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial data. The sessions will demonstrate how GIS can be applied to transportation planning, asset management, and safety analysis, helping participants better understand and utilize data in their day-to-day work.
Alongside the training, a Road Safety Audit will be conducted to identify potential safety concerns and recommend improvements. This collaborative process will include field reviews and discussions that highlight real-world conditions and opportunities for enhancing safety for all road users. Participants will gain insight into the audit process and learn how to incorporate these practices into their own programs.
This opportunity is open to Tribal transportation staff, planners, engineers, and others interested in enhancing roadway safety and expanding their GIS capabilities. The sessions are designed to accommodate a range of experience levels.
