Safety workforce development is an important concern within the transportation safety community. Retirements among experienced professionals could leave a gap in the knowledge base and slow progress on building a safe and efficient transportation system. Critical to the success of any workforce development effort is ensuring a sufficient number of professionals are entering the field. In April 2002, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) hosted a workshop to discuss topics related to workforce development specifically for the road safety community and to identify strategies for building the supply of road safety professionals. To further the ideas and goals of the workshop, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) created a Joint Subcommittee on Road Safety Workforce Development to accomplish the following objectives: Raise awareness of the need for education and training opportunities for road safety professionals; Develop a set of core competencies for road safety professionals; and Encourage use of the core competencies in training and education programs, hiring decisions, performance evaluations, and professional development. This report presents a model curriculum based on the core competencies developed by the Joint Task Force. The curriculum is named Road Safety 101 (Model Curriculum for Highway Safety Core Competencies) to highlight the fact that the course meets university standards and represents a beginning understanding of road safety as a discipline. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
