Traffic safety is a multi-disciplinary field providing tremendous career opportunities. Government agencies, non-profits, businesses, and universities employ thousands of professionals who use their expertise to improve safety on our nation’s roadways. Curious? Then you should apply to be a 2024 Traffic Safety Scholar.
