摘要：	The purpose of this project was to develop and implement a transportation systems curriculum for high schools. The curriculum was initially implemented in five Alabama high schools having large percentages of underrepresented populations both unaware that transportation systems is an area of study in college and needing further preparation while still in high school for studying transportation systems or a related field in college. The curriculum includes learning modules covering introductory topics in transportation; road signage, striping, safety, and work zone traffic control; setting speed limits and progressive signal timing; accident reporting and investigation; hurricane evacuation; and ethics, alternative fuels, and alternative forms of transportation. It is taught during parts of the semester of an existing elective course. The curriculum is delivered as an internet-based computer software developed by the investigators that is downloadable from the internet, which means that the curriculum is widely available to high schools throughout the U.S. The software is provided with a tutorial for high school faculty to self-learn the curriculum and university application information. / NOTE: Final rept. 1 Jan-31 Dec 06. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Transportation, Washington, DC. /
