Overview
The Safety Circuit Rider for the Technology Transfer Program uses crash data to locate high incident sites along roadways and assist communities in finding low cost roadway safety improvements. The Safety Circuit Rider works with local governments to remove fixed objects such as trees, brush, stumps, etc. and to install signage per MUTCD guidelines. This FREE technical advice is helping communities across the state of Kentucky save lives every day.
The Safety Circuit Rider program is made possible through funding from the Federal Highway Administration - Kentucky (FHWA-KY) in coordination with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).
