Definitions and Expectations

Learn what an RSA is, and, just as importantly, what it is not. RSA objectives vary based on type - design audits, in-service audits, and so on. This course will show you what to expect from the overall process, the meetings involved, and what kind of content you should receive in the findings table. 

RSA Management

Learn the importance of auditor independence and qualifications. This sets the stage for looking at the options for procuring RSAs with an analysis of typical cost ranges. Roles and responsibilities are defined, and tips for RSA schedule management are provided. 

Real Case Studies

Drawing from more than 600 audits completed globally, Dr. Craig Milligan  identifies risk factors and remediation options from a large number of design RSAs, in-service RSAs, and pre-opening RSAs. 

About the course

This course is going to get you a certificate for 4 professional development hours with instruction by specialized Canadian professional engineer in a topic that is highly relevant to transportation engineering professionals. You can use this certificate with any engineering licensing body in the US, Canada, and internationally provided that your licensing body does not require pre-registration of courses and instructors (most don't but a few do, so please check).  By enrolling in this course, you are going to discover how to maximize the power of road safety audits to save lives. The epidemic of road crashes are one of the world's leading causes of death. Today's professionals have inherited a road system with this epidemic baked in.  Road safety audits have the potential to dramatically reduce road crashes and accelerate Vision Zero efforts. But they are often underleveraged, meaning they are not used on the right projects, and when they are done, the audit process is not maximized for road safety audit impact. With the right training you can change this. With the right training in road safety audits you can make a bigger impact in saving lives.  By enrolling in this course, your government agency will be equipped to defend your due diligence process on all major projects. You will be able to justify your decisions on where and when you did road safety audits, what types of audits you had done, who you hired to do them,  how you managed the process, and how you implemented the results. Taking this training will equip you to deliver the duty of care that has been entrusted to you.  By enrolling in this course, your consulting team will be better equipped to get the most out of having your designs go through an independent RSA process. This is not an adversarial process and its not a critique of your design. It is about teamwork, with all parties collaborating to maximize safety outcomes within overall project constraints. If you dealt with an auditor who was a jerk, they were doing it wrong and they should not be doing road safety audits. This course maps out the right way to get the best possible collaboration dynamic in an RSA between the auditor, consultant designers, and project owners.  If your work is every going to go through an RSA, you should take this training.  This course is content rich. For years I have taught a 20 hour live online and in-person training course in road safety audits. That was a huge time commitment. In this course I tried to condense 80% of  my most important material into only 4 hours because I want you to use your training time efficiently. I hope people like the 4-hour total format with chapters and mini lessons because I plan to cover many other topics in road safety in future GlobalRSA courses using this same format.  For a very short window of time - until the end of April 2025, use the code APRIL50 to get our launch month 50% discount and enroll for only $100. 

Craig Milligan, Ph.D., P.Eng.

I have dedicated my career to road safety ever since I was a civil undergrad when I learned about the devastating scale of road fatalities worldwide.  I graduated at the top of my class in 2006, almost 20 years ago. Since then, I went on to earn a Ph.D. in road safety engineering as a Vanier Scholar. I have completed more than 600 road safety audits globally, written more than a dozen road safety guidelines, and authored more than 40 scientific and technical papers in road safety.  An absolute highlight of my career was co-founding and leading MicroTraffic, a software company that did near-miss video analysis for more than 100 cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Tokyo, and Amsterdam before it was acquired by Miovision. I have presented at conferences around the world including TRB, TAC, ITE, ITS World Congress, and Intertraffic. I have also trained hundreds of engineers in courses covering road safety audits, human factors, surrogate safety, network safety management, and road safety data analysis. I serve as a guest lecturer at various universities.   I love teaching and training as a way to share my expertise and lift up the entire profession. I am going into the second half of my career, and I want to scale my impact even further. That is why I have started the Global Road Safety Academy.  At this academy I am going to be publishing professional development courses aimed at helping you make a maximum impact for road safety.  Outside of the Global Road Safety Academy (GlobalRSA.com) I operate my independent road safety engineering firm Fireseeds North (FireseedsNorth.ca) and Clipper Bay Camp, a unique island fishing lodge on Lake of the Woods.  If you want to invest in yourself with road safety training, I would love to have you enroll in the academy so that I can share my knowledge and passion with you!
