Financial Assistance
Under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century
(TEA21), the U.S. Department of Transportation has identified eight National
Priority Program Areas including "Roadway Safety" and "Pedestrian and
Bicycle Safety". These National Priority Program Areas are eligible for
Federal funding under an expedited procedure as part of the 402 program (23
CFR 1205.4). Northwestern University Center for Public Safety transportation
engineering courses listed here are intended to provide for "upgrading the
skills of practicing traffic engineers, and providing basic instruction in
traffic engineering techniques to other professionals and technicians," in
the identified National Priority Programs Areas.
Continuing Education Units
The continuing education unit (CEU) is a nationally
recognized method developed by the National University Extension Association
for measuring and documenting participation in non-credit continuing
education programs. The Northwestern University Center for Public Safety
awards CEUs to participants who successfully complete continuing education
transportation engineering courses.
On-Site Programs
The Northwestern University Center for Public Safety
develops and presents on-site programs for individual governmental agencies,
or a group of agencies, within a geographical location or an administrative
jurisdiction. The transportation engineering programs described on this web
site are available for on-site presentation. The content and length of each
program can be redesigned to meet the specific training needs of the
sponsoring agency. If time permits, program design can include the
combination of curriculum areas from two or more basic courses.
On-site programs are presented on a cost basis which
includes tuition, student reference materials, and direct expenses. Other
professional development programs and/or materials in traffic safety,
transportation, and highway engineering can be prepared on a contract basis.
