  • Abstract:
    In 2011, the Texas Tech Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Transportation (TechMRT) was contracted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to analyze best practices for the department in responding to wildfires. This project (0-6735) was adapted into an implementation project in order to provide a training workshop for TxDOT employees on wildland fire management. The target audience of this workshop was TxDOT Directors of Operations (DOOs), Directors of Maintenance (DOMs), Area Engineers (AEs), maintenance managers, maintenance supervisors, assistants, and crew chiefs. A total of nine workshops were held beginning in March, 2014 and ending in June, 2014. Workshops were conducted in Lubbock, Alpine, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Brownwood. At least 557 TxDOT employees attended the workshops. During the course of these nine training workshops, evaluation sheets were distributed. The TechMRT project team received 527 total evaluations, and the responses were tallied and analyzed. Respondents were asked to indicate whether they strongly disagreed, disagreed, had no comment on, agreed, or strongly agreed with a number of different responses. Nine responses related to the general instruction and efficacy of the training workshops. Five responses related specifically to learning objectives that the project team wanted the attendants to master during the workshops. To evaluate the efficacy of the workshops, numerical values were assigned to each possible rating for every question, ranging from 1 for a strong disagreement to 5 for a strong agreement. Overall, every question received a rating between 4.22 and 4.49. These results indicate that the majority of students either agreed or strongly agreed with the efficacy of the workshops and felt they were equipped with new skills and a better understanding of their roles in wildland fire management.
