Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation
Source: Federal Highway Administration
The Student Workbook contains 24 lessons that span a wide range of topics including an introduction to bicycling and walking issues, planning and designing for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and supporting elements and programs. Scripted slideshows for all 24 lessons are available to facilitate course development and delivery. An overview lecture and scripted slideshow also is provided when a one- or two-lecture overview is needed for existing undergraduate or graduate courses. The key learning outcomes in the course material are as follows:
* Students should recognize the legitimacy of the bicycle and pedestrian modes in a balanced transportation system.
* Students should understand how policy, planning, and engineering practices can be improved to create a more balanced transportation system.
* Students should be familiar with basic policies, practices, tools, and design principles and know how to use them to create bicycle and pedestrian-friendly communities.
