The objective of this project was to enhance existing training materials developed by the Alabama Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ALSITE) as a service for the Alabama Department of Transportation. The project involved a literature review, preparation of course notes, and development of visual aids to assist in the delivery of a short course on access management. Properly designed transportation systems provide a balance between the needs of transportation users for mobility and accessibility. It is the responsibility of transportation agencies and transportation professionals to ensure that the design of each road balances access and mobility. Access management is used to provide this very important balance. There is clearly a need for better understanding of the interrelated elements of land use, economic activity and growth, and traffic generation and distribution. This project addressed this need by providing training materials for a short coursed on access management. |
