About The Roadway Infrastructure Safety Coalition
The Roadway Infrastructure Safety Coalition (RISC) was created to contribute to the reduction of deaths on America's roadways by improving roadway safety infrastructure through the federal legislative, regulatory and budgetary process.
Throughout the 111th Congress, RISC hopes to shine a light on the need to invest in the safety of the roadway itself. The reauthorization of the "Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), which is scheduled to be completed in 2009, will be a key focus of the coalition.
The RISC member organizations are:
American Highway Users Alliance
American Public Works Association
American Society of Civil Engineers
American Society of Highway Engineers
American Traffic Safety Services Association
National Association of Counties
National Association of County Engineers
National Association of Development Organizations
