HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SYLLABUS

ENACTMENT OF THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ACT OF 1966 PROMOTED CREATION OF A COHESIVE HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT FEDERL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. HOWEVER, IT POINTED OUT THE LACK OF SKILLED PERSONNEL TO MANAGE THE PROGRAMS. THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ASSISTED IN CLOSING THE GAP VARIED WIDELY IN THEIR APPROACH AND COURSE CONTENT. IN 1969 THE AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY FOUNDATION, FUNCTIONING THROUGH THE STAFF OF THE HIGHWAY USERS FEDERATION, DECIDED TO DEVELOP A HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT INFORMATION BASE IN SYLLABUS FORM AS A FIRST STEP TOWARD A LARGER AND MORE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION OF THE TRAINING PROBLEM. THE SYLLABUS, WHOSE FORMAT IS AN ALPHANUMERIC OUTLINE OF TOPICS AND SUBTOPICS, COVERS THE FOLLOWING MAJOR SUBJECT AREAS: NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, ELEMENTS OF A HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM, HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY MANAGEMENT, AND PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT
