Highway Safety Manual Training Guide

This guide focuses on identifying Highway Safety Manual (HSM) training currently available to state and local agencies who are considering implementation of the HSM. The objectives of the training guide are to: (1) Identify key focus groups that can be used as a basis for identifying particular training needs and sequence of training; (2) Present a flow chart for each of the key focus groups that outlines appropriate course modules and sequence of training; (3) Present a summary of different training delivery methods and specific reference to training methods given limited ability to travel; (4) Present recommendations for optimal training approaches to conduct training on the advanced methods presented in the HSM; and (5) Inform state and local agencies of available HSM and HSM-related training opportunities. Several training opportunities exist for highway safety and safety analysis. The guide focuses only on courses directly applicable to content in the HSM and only those provided by the National Highway Institute (NHI), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).
