Tribal Injury Prevention Specialist Program Needs Assessment |
Introduction to the Tribal Injury Prevention Specialist Program
The Tribal Injury Prevention Specialist Program provides transportation safety information, training, and technical assistance to Tribal transportation agencies responsible for roadway safety. While the primary focus is on tribal roads, the Tribal Injury Prevention Specialist will assist tribes and their partners in improving road safety in Indian Country.
Traditionally, tribal transportation safety programs focus on the Four E’s (Engineering, Education, Emergency Response, and Enforcement). The Tribal Injury Prevention Specialist Program expands the role to include behavior modification approaches in traffic safety (i.e. child passenger safety, seat belt use, impaired driving prevention).
