TITLE: The Training Needs of Transportation Professionals Regarding the Pedestrian and Bicyclist AUTHOR: Everett C. Carter and David M. Levinson of the University of Maryland Transportation Studies Center for the Federal Highway Administration. NUMBER: FHWA-PD-92-038, Case Study #2 YEAR: 1992 FORMAT: Booklet LENGTH: 66 pages FEE: INTENDED
AUDIENCE:Traffic Engineers, Planners, Pedestrian Program Coordinators
DESCRIPTION: This study reviews texts currently used by transportation professionals, concluding that little information exists on pedestrians and bicyclists, and that which does is both dated and an afterthought. It similarly reviews training programs on nonmotorized transportation and professional organizations and concludes that few exist, with no continuing education programs. An original syllabus for a course on nonmotorized transportation is provided. The list of references includes those publications used for this study, all Federal Technology Sharing publications available as of 1992, and texts available from major professional society book services. Also attached are the ASCE Human Powered Transportation College Questionnaire (1991) used for the study, and a tabulation of results.
