Abstract for presentation (Poster or Podium)

Transportation Safety

Access Management Curriculum for University Planning and Engineering Programs

Sunday, June 16, 2024
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM ET
Room: Galleria
Abstract: Extensive research has been conducted on the topic of roadway access management and smart land use planning, documenting many benefits of these integrated practices to safety, congestion reduction, and livability. Consequently, many agencies across the US and abroad have instituted multidisciplinary and multimodal access management programs and projects. Yet few Universities educate planning and engineering students on the theory, practice, and benefits of access management. As a result, emerging professionals are entering practice with little or no knowledge of the topic and its critical importance to the transportation system. This project fills that gap by providing a research-based curriculum with instructional resources and real-world applications that can be readily adapted into a variety of planning and engineering course offerings.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees can expect to learn the following from this session:
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to recognize how graduate-level training on access management can support transportation safety.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to identify a set of resources to support the implementation of access management strategies and policies.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to design a course or class session on access management using the materials provided in the access management curriculum.
