The Rural Highway Safety Clearinghouse is intended to be an easy-to-use
starting point for information about safety on our nation's rural roads.

About the Clearinghouse

The Rural Highway Safety Clearinghouse, developed and maintained by the
Center for Excellence in Rural Safety (CERS) at the University of
Minnesota, is supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The Clearinghouse reports on the various activities conducted by the
U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and other federal, state, and
local partners to improve rural safety. In addition to supporting the
USDOT Rural Safety Initiative and facilitating new rural safety
partnerships and collaborations, the site collects and markets best
practices as well as the latest findings in rural safety research.

The Clearinghouse is intended to be an easy-to-use starting point for
information about safety on our nation's rural roads. The site, created
as a resource especially for rural safety coalitions, provides links to
safety publications and other resources grouped by safety topics
including the four E's (education, emergency medical services,
enforcement, and engineering). Additional topics include data and
statistics, driver behavior, safety planning, seat belts, and work-zone
safety.

The Clearinghouse also lists federal, state, academic, and non-profit
agencies and organizations related to rural safety. The USDOT agencies
listed are: the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).
