In addition to TPM for Safety, TPM-related fact sheets, webinars and other materials from the FHWA Office of Safety are available online. Please note that the office in coordination with NHTSA is offering a one-day target-setting coordination and training workshop in each state through June 2017. The workshop is open to state Departments of Transportation (DOT), State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs), MPOs, and other safety stakeholders along with FHWA and NHTSA employees.
