Hey everybody! You’ve seen me around the state the last few years talking about LTAP, workshops and safety but now I’ve got some really big news! We’re close to hiring a new Safety Circuit Rider!
What’s a Safety Circuit Rider (SCR)? This professionally-trained engineer will travel around the state, visiting local agencies to help identify roadway safety issues and develop treatment options.
I had the chance to talk about the new Virginia SCR program with Steven Yob, Director of Henrico County Public Works. Here’s what he had to say:
“I am very happy to see these new opportunities to provide cost effective, timely and convenient training for our transportation professionals. The VA LTAP is a respected training resource that always does an excellent job. I am very supportive of this new program to provide leadership and excellent work in this necessary area.”
Steven’s correct – the SCR program is a great addition to the kinds of services we already deliver to our clients in local government. We’ll be providing even more in-classroom safety classes. And our Safety Circuit Rider will come out and conduct a safety audit to help you assess unsafe roadways in your community so we can work hand in hand to help make your city safer.
The Safety Circuit Rider will also help with technical assistance. Need some advice on installing signs? Have a question about safety device options? Drop me a line at scr@virginia.edu and we’ll figure out an SCR game plan. We’re here to help!
By the way, do you know an engineer who might be a great fit for this full-time position? Please pass on this application information (https:/jobs.virginia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=84092).
Be safe out there and I’ll see you on the TTA Highway!
