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. As developed, the course offers an overview of access management options; potential impacts on safety mobility, accessibility, and economic growth; and ways to achieve the maximum benefits through access management. It is expected that technology transfer activities by ALSITE, based on these training materials, will provide valuable input to transportation professionals and transportation decision makers in Alabama and will assist them in determining the types of access management strategies best suited at the local level. The project deliverables included a narrative in notebook-format, notebook labels, a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter, checklists for practitioners, and a short course evaluation form.
