This webinar was co-sponsored by ASCE's Transportation and Development Institute and ASCE Continuing Education
Purpose and Background
There are a lot of engineering tools available to improve pedestrian/bike safety and walkability, and each school will have its own unique set of solutions. The intent of this presentation is to consider many of the options available and to demonstrate the impact that engineering countermeasures can make. We will focus on the types of treatments that are commonly a part of SRTS projects.
- Focus first on easy-to-implement and low-cost solutions
- Identify and program longer-term improvement needs (e.g. sidewalks)
- Match the treatment to the type of problem
- Provide and maintain facilities along the school route
- Provide safe street crossings
- Slow down traffic speeds
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain why engineering and enforcement are important components of a well-rounded Safe Routes to School effort
- Determine where engineering and enforcement fits within Safe Routes to School
- Identify issues first and then apply effective engineering and enforcement tools
- Focus on low-cost and easy to implement solutions
- Cite other success stories and will know where to go for additional information and resources
Webinar Benefits
Participants will be able to:
- Explain how working effectively with stakeholders, mapping routes, and identifying issues are key first steps
- Stress the importance of working closely with your local jurisdiction to select measures that actually address the issues
- Describe the pros and cons of various design measures, with a focus on their impacts to school children
- Focus on low-cost and easy to implement solutions
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).
Intended Audience
Transportation Engineers, Transportation Planners, Landscape Architects, Land Use Planners, Traffic Engineers, Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinators, Safe Routes to School Coordinators, Elementary and Middle School Administrators

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs and Receive Your Certificate of Completion
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short on-line post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 1 year of purchasing the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
