    • Abstract:
      As a result of a contract with the Virginia Department of Highways and

      Transportation the Transportation Safety Training Center at Virginia

      Commonwealth University, in cooperation with two special transportation

      providers planned and implemented two paratransit roadeos in 1981. The roadeos

      were held in Charlottesville, Virginia, August, 1981 and in Martinsville,

      Virginia, October 1981.

      Both roadeos involved 15 operators matching their driving knowledge and skills

      against each other in competition. The competition was divided into two phases.

      The first phase involved a written examination addressing driving techniques

      with an emphasis on safety. The second phase was a practical exercise requiring

      each participant to maneuver their vehicle through each of five exercises. The

      emphasis of the practical exercise was on precision driving. All competition

      ws preceded by a classroom session covering the basics of defensive driving.

      The cussess of these roadeos has led to the development of this Paratransit

      Roadeo Curriculum Guide. The material contained in this publication is based on

      the model developed for the two preliminary roadeos. The "guide" is designed

      such that a roadeo can be planned and implemented by the staff of any

      paratransit organization. However, it is recommended that during the planning

      stage the "guide" be read completely so as to facilitate any changes that may

      be necessary to meet individual organization needs.
