The Regional Highway Safety Summit, sponsored by BRTSB, is intended for agency command staff, or their designee, and is in response to the increase in regional fatalities experienced this year. We will focus on causative factors and highlight resources available at the National, State, and Regional levels. Each locality receiving grant funding should have a representative attending.
