About NHI
ABOUT NHI
Who we are
The National Highway Institute (NHI) provides technical training to the highway transportation workforce to build skills
and enhance job performance to improve the conditions and safety of our nations’ roads, highways, and bridges.
As part of Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Technical Services (OTS), NHI courses complement the
targeted training and technical assistance of FHWA program offices, Resource Center, and Local and Tribal Technical
Assistance Programs (LTAP/TTAP).
Our Training
NHI courses are instrumental in developing core competencies and new skills, as well as learning about leading
technologies and current policies. Our instructors strive to ensure that participants leave training not only with additional
knowledge, but also the ability to apply that knowledge directly to their work. NHI is an accredited training provider
by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET), allowing participants to earn Continuing
Education Units (CEUs) for completed coursework. NHI also is an approved provider of the American Institute of
Certified Planners (AICP) certification maintenance (CM) credits.
NHI offers three types of training.

Instructor-led Training (ILT): These courses are held in-person and led by an instructor when an organization is available to
host the session. Any organization may host a session by submitting a Host Request form on the NHI Web site.
Web-conference Training (WCT): These are live, online training sessions that take place at a set time. Web-conference
Training sessions also require a host.
Web-based Training (WBT): These online courses are available 24/7 for six months after purchase by the registrant.
Participants can control the pace at which they complete the course and may return to it as many times as they wish
within the six-month access period.

NHI MAKES HOSTING EASY
HOSTING A COURSE
NHI partners with host organizations across the country to deliver training where it is needed most. NHI provides top-
notch instructors and course materials, while hosting organizations provide the facilities and equipment.
WHO CAN HOST

Any United States-based organization can host Instructor-led Trainings (ILT), which are taught in classrooms, and/or Web-
conference Trainings (WCT), which are taught online.
Our instructors may tailor individual sessions to meet the unique needs and array of experiences of the hosting organiza-
tion, including covering local issues and topics of special interest. Instructors also may modify case studies and exercises
based on their subject matter expertise to make them pertinent to the participant’s experiences.
REQUESTING TO HOST
To host a course, domestic customers can go to the NHI Web site and complete the appropriate Host Request form (ILT or
WCT). The process takes just a few minutes. First-time users will need to create a user profile and check the INSTRUCTOR/
HOST BOX.
If you run into any difficulty when you are logging in, filling out a Host Request form, or navigating the NHI Web site,
please contact NHI Customer Service for help at (877) 558-6873 during normal business hours, 7:30am – 4:30pm Eastern
time. Customers may also email NHI Customer Service at [email protected].
To assist the host in preparation for and coordination of the session, a hosting checklist is provided on the NHI Web site.
This checklist includes important information about hosting your NHI training session, as well as valuable “best-practice”
information based on NHI’s 40 years of experience with our hosting partners.
CONFIRMING SESSION DATES/LOCATIONS/TIMES

After the Host Request form is received, an Instructor or a member of the NHI team will contact the host to discuss sched-
uling options. While preferred dates may be specified on the Host Request form, sessions are not official until the hosting
organization receives formal confirmation from NHI. Once official, NHI will list the session publicly on its Web site.
Enrollment Options
The host’s contact information is listed with the scheduled session. Interested participants from outside the host’s organiza-
tion may contact the host to enroll. Alternatively, the host may ask NHI to open public seats, which allow outside partici-
pants to enroll through NHI.
The NHI Scheduler will email all participant information to the host and instructor prior to the session start date.
HOSTING EXPENSES
To host a session, hosts are charged the per-participant price multiplied by the class-size minimum, or the host is charged
per participant if the session class size exceeds the minimum. Pricing cannot be reduced if the minimum class size is not
met. Therefore, if registration for a course is lower than anticipated, it is important for the host to contact NHI prior to the
cancellation period (15 business days) to discuss a remedy. Please note that with sufficient notice, NHI may be able to offer
marketing support for the session.
Three seats in every session are reserved for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) employees until 15 days before the
course begins. FHWA participants do not count toward the participant minimum, but should be considered in the course
maximum. Hosts are not charged for FHWA personnel or participants who have paid via the NHI Web site. Hosts are not
charged for any instructor expenses.
Course hosts may charge participants an additional fee to recover all or part of costs associated with hosting the course.
However, we ask hosts to contact the NHI Scheduler at (703) 235-0534 with this information prior to the confirmation of
the session.
Course fees, which include the cost of materials for each participant, are listed with every course description.

RECEIVING COURSE MATERIALS

NHI will ship course material to the host approximately three weeks prior to the session start date.
PROVIDING PAYMENT
Payment may be made to NHI by check, money order, or credit card. Checks and money orders must be made payable
to the National Highway Institute. To make credit card payments, contact NHI Customer Service at NHICustomerSer-
[email protected] or 1-877-558-6873. You are not charged for any FHWA participants or for participants who paid via the
NHI Web site.
CANCELLATION POLICY/REFUNDS
To avoid incurring the $1,500 cancellation fee, cancellation must be requested no later than 15 business days prior to
the course start date. If a course must be cancelled, the host is required to contact NHI Customer Service at 1-877-558-
6873 during normal business hours, 7:30AM – 4:30PM Eastern Time, or email [email protected]. If the
course materials have been sent, the host must contact NHI Customer Service.
In the event of cancellation, it is the host’s responsibility to contact all participants (including those registered for public
seats). There must be verification that the registrants received the cancellation notice. Notice to out-of-state participants
is especially important so that they may alter or cancel any travel arrangements.
In the case of an emergency or weather-related closing, the cancellation fee will not apply. NHI follows the host office’s
policy regarding weather and emergency closings.

RECEIVING COURSE CREDIT
Many of the courses offered at NHI can be used toward obtaining Continuing Education Units (CEUs), Certification
Maintenance (CM) credits, and Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Please select the headers below for more infor-
mation about receiving credits.
Continuing Education Units

NHI has been recognized as an Accredited Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and
Training (IACET). In obtaining this accreditation, NHI has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard
which is recognized internationally as a standard of good practice. As a result of this Accredited Provider status, NHI is
authorized to offer IACET CEUs for its programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standard. IACET is an independent,
non-profit association whose goal is to ensure quality continuing education for professionals. For an organization to
become an IACET approved CEU Accredited Provider, it must demonstrate that it designs, develops, and delivers train-
ing in accordance with proven adult learning theory and recognizes instructional systems design practices. Each course
description in the NHI catalog includes the number of CEUs offered upon successful completion of the course.
One CEU is offered for every ten contact hours of training led by a qualified instructor and qualified instruction. In order
to be offered CEUs, a course participant must attend 100% of the course and must pass the course examination with a
score of 70% or greater.
CEUs are offered to each course participant who fulfills the above stated requirement. NHI will maintain individual train-
ing records for seven years for the CEUs offered. Individuals and their employers are also encouraged to maintain their
own training records including course name, class date(s), instructor name, class roster, and CEUs offered.
For proof of your CEU record, please contact NHI at [email protected] or 1-877-558-6873 and request your
official transcript. Your official transcript displays a record of your NHI course history as well as the CEUs offered for
each CEU-accredited course. Please allow at least one month after the completion of your course before requesting your
official transcript.
Certification Maintenance Credits

NHI providers Certification Maintenance (CM) credits to assist professional planners become and maintain their mem-
bership as certified planners through the American Planning Association (APA).
American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) is APA’s professional institute. Certified Planners have demonstrated a
commitment to high standards of professional practice and a mastery of theories and tools of planning.
NHI recognizes that the certification carries a high mark of distinction and requires planners to meet rigorous standards
and maintain their expertise through continuing education. Planners must earn 32 CM continuing education credits ev-
ery two years in order to stay up to date on the latest trends, technologies, and best practices. NHI courses will now help
them achieve that requirement.
CM credits are measured in contact hours, so that 30 minutes of instructional time equals 30 minutes of CM credit (30
minutes contact = 0.5 CM credits; 1.0 contact hours = 1.0 CM credits). An event must be at least 30 minutes in duration
to be eligible for CM credit.
Contact NHI Customer Service at [email protected] or 877-558-6873 to ask for an official transcript to
be used by AICP to calculate CM credits. Please allow at least one month after the completion of your course before
requesting your official transcript.
Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

NHI does not officially offer PDHs; however, it is possible to receive PDHs for your completed NHI training courses. To
receive PDHs, please submit your course certificate (which indicates the contact hours assigned to the course) and/or
your official transcript (which indicates the CEUs granted for a course) to the respective licensing agency. Upon consent,
the licensing agency may convert your hours and/or CEUs into PDHs and proceed with the PDH awarding process.
PDHs are offered on a ratio of one contact hour to one PDH. When converting from CEU to PDH, please note that one
CEU is equal to ten PDHs (or one PDH is equal to one-tenth of a CEU).
To request your official transcript with proof of CEU record and/or contact hours, please contact NHI at NHICus-
[email protected] or 1-877-558-6873. Your official transcript displays a record of your NHI course history as well as

the CEUs offered for each CEU-accredited course. Please allow at least one month after the completion of your course

before requesting your official transcript.
NHI CERTIFICATES OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

NHI’s Certificates of Accomplishment program was designed to recognize individuals who have successfully enhanced
their depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise in specific disciplines or topic areas. Students would be eligible for
the Certificate of Accomplishment when they have completed and passed a suite of related NHI course offerings. Cur-
rently, this program has been put on hold, although it is expected to be re-initiated in the near future.

Engineering for Structural Stability in Bridge Construction (2.5 Day)
The objective of this course is to train participants on the behavior of steel and concrete girder bridges during
construction and teach them to identify vulnerabilities and engineering methods to investigate the structure’s strength
and stability at each critical stage. This is done within the practical context of engineering, development, verification,
and/or review of erection plans.
Starting with basic structural stability principles, course participants are introduced to stability analysis methods and
how they should be applied to properly engineer a bridge erection plan. The role of both permanent and temporary
bracing in achieving structural stability is covered, and methods for bracing design presented. Behavior and design
considerations for construction phases are provided through presentation of case studies, demonstrations, design
examples, and guided walk-throughs. The impacts of construction practices, means, and methods are explored and
demonstrated.
During bridge erection, the member support conditions, loads, stresses, strength, and stability are affected by the
erection practices such as lifting, installation of bracing, bearing conditions, temporary supports, and placing sequence.
Deck placing equipment, overhang brackets and staging can also have significant effects on girder stability. Thus, this
course presents information on construction practices as it relates to these considerations.
Engineering criteria for use in evaluating bridges during erection are presented. Loading criteria and load factors
for analysis are provided along with discussion of their applicability. Equations for checking member conditions
during erection are included. Participants learn how loads during construction differ from final design conditions and
appropriate methods to compute and apply those loads. The required contents of erection engineering plans, procedures,
and submittals are presented in the course. Check lists are included to assist both the erection engineer and submittal
reviewer.

Performance-Based Management of Highway Bridges
The traditional approach to bridge management has focused on identifying the worst performing structures in the
inventory and addressing their deficiencies before anything else. But as inventories expand and age and as budgets
shrink, most agencies discover that even as they address the worst bridges in the inventory, other bridges that could
have been saved through preservation activities slip into deficiency. Today, the public expects transportation agencies
to adopt a performance-based management approach that will achieve the highest level of performance possible and
make the most effective use of available funds. The Performance-based Management of Bridges course uses video-based
testimonies from transportation professionals to illustrate the ways in which their agencies have used performance-based
management to estimate the cost-effectiveness of decisions and assess risk.

Strut-and-Tie Modeling (STM) for Concrete Structures
incentive once.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) recently adopted a new strut-and-tie
modeling (STM) specification and is now strongly encouraging special analysis using such methods as STM. In response
to the numerous requests for STM training from the bridge engineering community, as well as in response to this new
STM specification, there is a strong need for developing training to address the uncertainties and produce a primary
source of reference material for STM applications for bridge engineers.
STM provides engineers with a simplistic analysis and design tool for deep concrete bridge elements and disturbed
regions that would otherwise require a rigorous refined analysis. STM has long been established as a reasonable analysis
tool for disturbed regions and deep beams. However, this modeling tool has had difficulty being integrated into our
bridge design state-of-practice, which has resulted in inappropriate use of the simplistic elastic beam theory design for
deep beams and disturbed regions. In some cases, it has resulted in poor in-service performance. This training course
serves as a significant step in providing the knowledge transfer necessary for STM to be used more frequently and more
effectively.
Outcomes
• Describe the fundamentals of STM, including its definition, theory, and historical background
• Explain the application of STM in bridge design, including identification of B-regions and D-regions and specific applications
to bridge superstructures and substructures
• Describe the required procedures for STM model development and design
• Explain element-level considerations in STM, including struts, ties, and nodal zones
• Summarize serviceability considerations in STM, including crack control, shear stress check, and sizing of members to

Drilled Shafts
Drilled shafts are an alternate type of deep foundation that may be more cost effective and perform better than other
types of deep foundations in bridge piers at river crossings and in retrofit operations, high-mast lighting, earth retaining
structures, single-column piers, and similar applications. This course provides participants with specific technical
guidance on all aspects of designing, installing, and monitoring the construction of drilled shafts. The lessons address the
following topics: applications, advantages, and disadvantages of drilled shafts for transportation structure foundations;
general requirements for subsurface investigations; construction methods; construction case histories; construction
specifications; principles of designing drilled shafts for axial and lateral loading; expansive soils, downdrag, and
similar effects; load testing; inspection; integrity testing; repair and retrofit of defective shafts; and cost estimation. The
participants will receive a comprehensive reference manual on drilled shaft construction and design used by engineers
who perform detailed designs of drilled shafts, write construction specifications, and evaluate the performance of
contractors through a comprehensive inspection program.
Outcomes
• Describe the various drilling rigs and tools that are available to construct drilled shafts under varied subsurface soil and rock
conditions

Course Title
Design of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes
Mechanically stabilized earth walls (MSEWs) are commonly used on roadway projects and are typically cost effective
and aesthetically pleasing. The basic concept behind MSEWs is to combine soil, reinforcing materials made of steel
or polymers, and appropriate facing to produce a composite system with engineering properties that are ideal for most
roadway applications. Reinforced soil slopes (RSS) utilize the same types of reinforcement for the construction of steep
embankments. Both MSEWs and RSS structures can provide substantial savings in construction time and costs when
compared with other types of earth retaining systems.
The goal of the course is to educate agencies about state-of-the-practice design tools. This includes comprehensive
instruction on the design of MSEWs using load resistance factor design (LRFD). The course also presents construction
practices to promote implementation of mechanically stabilized earth technology in cost effective earth retention
structures. This course would most benefit persons who are involved in the design and construction of earth retention
structures for surface transportation projects.
NOTE TO PARTICIPANT: Please bring a calculator that performs trigonometric calculations, a note pad, and a pencil.

Construction Inspection of Bridge Rehabilitation Projects
This 4-day course has been designed to improve quality, ensure uniformity, and establish a minimum standard for bridge
rehabilitation.
The keys to successfully ensuring quality on rehab jobs are: knowing what should happen on a given job; identifying
problems when they do happen; and correctly using available resources to solve the problem. This course presents
innovative and best practice inspection techniques for each structural element of a bridge.
This course will introduce participants to distress and deterioration they may encounter when working with concrete
or steel that requires repair. It is essential to identify the issues that harm these materials because it is often poor
construction techniques that lead to reduced structural condition or shortened service life. The focus then turns to
construction and inspection practices pertaining to concrete decks, steel superstructures, concrete superstructures and
substructures, joints, and bearings.
The course is activity-rich, using discussions of best practices, small and large group activities for identifying critical
inspection moments, and a wide array of case studies from real projects to emphasize the importance of applying these
techniques in the field.
Outcomes
• Relate observable deterioration of bridge structural elements to distress mechanisms
• Associate potential construction and materials problems
• Explain the role of the construction inspector as part of the overall project team
• Interpret drawings and specifications
• Describe rehabilitation sequences for various bridge systems, bridge types, and materials
• Explain basic inspection and testing of materials
• Make and maintain sufficient records
Target Audience
This course will be appropriate for inspectors with 1-5 years of experience who are seeking a better foundation in
bridge rehabilitation techniques. They will likely have a basic grasp of construction and inspection methods, bridge
terminology, and causes of distress and deterioration, although this information will be reviewed at the beginning of
the course.The course will be appropriate for experienced bridge inspectors who are seeking to learn about innovative
methods in bridge rehabilitation and obtain a refresher on familiar inspection methods. Construction supervisors,
transportation department field inspectors, construction inspectors, field engineers, resident engineers, structural
engineers, materials engineers, and other technical personnel involved in the inspection of bridge rehabilitation projects
will benefit from this course. The course is designed for participants without an in-depth engineering background.
However, those with engineering backgrounds are welcome to attend and can provide valuable perspective in the
context of group activities and discussions.

Pavement Smoothness: Use of Inertial Profiler Measurements for Construction
Quality Control
Studies have shown that roughness is one of the biggest priorities of highway users. Additional studies have shown that
pavements that are built smooth stay smoother longer and provide a longer pavement life. Most State highway agencies
(SHAs) have some type of smoothness specification that is used to evaluate the smoothness of newly constructed
or rehabilitated pavements during acceptance testing. Many agencies also have incentives or disincentives for new
construction and rehabilitation, which are based on pavement smoothness.
Increasingly these agencies are turning to inertial profilers as the most reliable instrument for construction acceptance
testing and verifying pavement smoothness. The intent of this course is to train inertial profiler operators in the basics of
performing construction acceptance testing and to train those reviewing the data to comprehend how those data were
obtained and what they represent in order to build smoother riding roadways.
The course has been developed to be delivered in a single day of instructor-led training. In order to keep the instructor-
led portion of the training to a single day, the training includes two hours of independent study that should be completed
prior to attending the instructor-led session.
Outcomes
• Perform checks of the inertial profiler components to identify that the equipment is in proper working order.
• Determine the impact of current surface and environmental conditions on data collection.
• Collect profile data using appropriate operating techniques.
• Calculate a smoothness index using appropriate data processing techniques and computational procedures for use in
construction quality control and specification compliance.
• Identify what features in a collected profile are manifested in a smoothness or roughness index.
Target Audience
The course was designed for an audience directly involved in the use of inertial profilers and the application of the data
obtained from inertial profilers. This includes State and contractor road profiler operators who perform data collection,
initial processing, and reporting of smoothness data. Paving superintendents, project engineers, pavement engineers, and
inspectors who are performing data analysis, quality control, and acceptance will also benefit from this course. Ideally,
each session of the course will include a mixture of State and contractor personnel, including those who collect data,
those performing data processing, and those making decisions based upon data.

Hot In-place Recycling
This training was developed by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with AASHTO
and NHI. Hot in-place recycling (HIR) is a pavement preservation and corrective maintenance technique that consists of
heating and softening the existing asphalt pavement. When combined with an asphalt overlay, HIR can be classified as
structural rehabilitation.
The HIR techniques described inthis training provide owner agencies with cost-effective and sustainable methods to
repair their aging pavements. HIR processes have been used on all functional classes of roadways. When properly
designed, specified, and constructed, HIR methods can result in significant cost savings as compared to conventional
maintenance operations, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
This course contains three modules:
1. Introduction to Hot In-Place Recycling
2. Pre-Production Inspection
3. Full Production Pavement Recycling
Outcomes
• Explain the purpose, benefits, and use of HIR;
• Identify the purpose and use of HIR designs and the equipment used for its applications;
• Identify the preparation and planning steps necessary for an HIR application; and
• Describe the production, evaluation, steps necessary for an HIR application.

Full Depth Reclamation (FDR)
Full Depth Reclamation, or FDR, is a rehabilitation technique in which the full thickness of the asphalt pavement
and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials (that is, the base, the subbase, and/or subgrade) is uniformly
pulverized and blended to provide an upgraded, homogeneous material.
FDR was originally limited to low to medium traffic volume roadways; however, newer and larger equipment options
means that FDR now can be used on high traffic volume roadways. There is no upper limit to roadway traffic volumes if
a pavement structural design is undertaken as part of the rehabilitation process and traffic control allows for diversion of
traffic or travel on a pulverized or stabilized surface without damage.
This Web-based training contains four modules. Module 1 introduces full depth reclamation of pavements. Module 2
presents pre-production activities associated with FDR, including the pre-production meeting, roadway preparation, and
FDR equipment. Module 3 covers establishing a control strip and pulverizing material, and explores various methods
and agents used for stabilizing reclaimed materials. Module 4 reviews post-production actions following reclamation. It
takes approximately 4.5 hours to complete the four modules.

How to Construct Durable Partial-Depth Repairs in Concrete Pavements
This course provides a comprehensive guide for performing partial-depth repairs from planning for, preparing, and
evaluating the patch through testing and quality assurance after construction is complete. Partial-depth repairs are
defined as the removal and replacement of small areas of deteriorated (or spalled) concrete pavement. Partial-depth
repairs are an alternative to full-depth repairs in areas where slab deterioration is located primarily in the upper one-third
to upper one-half of the slab and the existing load transfer devices (if any) are still functional.
Partial-depth repair of concrete pavement is an important preservation technique to slow or eliminate the spread of
spalling distresses that tend to occur under repeated thermal stresses, freezing and thawing, and traffic loading. The
information in this course will cover all of the considerations, including patch materials and construction techniques to
produce patches that are cost-effective and can last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Transportation Performance Management for Pavements
This course will be delivered for free to Metropolitan Planning Organizations and State DOTs. The reduced price is being
provided by the FHWA Office of Infrastructure.
’Transportation Performance Management for Pavements’ is a one-day Instructor-led Training course offered by NHI, the
authoritative source in transportation training.
Recent legislation has resulted in new requirements for national performance measures and targets in several measure
areas, including pavement conditions. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) established the
requirements, and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) continued them. Most States and other transportation
agencies have established their own measures for pavement conditions; however, few transportation officials have
experience in managing a performance-based program with specific outcome-oriented pavement targets.
This course is intended to review concepts in Transportation Performance Management (TPM), identify specific measures
used for characterizing pavement conditions, and provide methods for analyzing and recommending pavement
condition targets and approaches for monitoring pavement networks. One important aspect of TPM is monitoring
performance once targets have been established and using information on current performance to guide decision
making. The final portion of the course focuses on performance monitoring and approaches for updating performance
targets over time.
The main goal of the course is to provide agency staff with the skills and abilities to use the national measures to assess
pavement condition, establish pavement condition targets, and report and evaluate pavement performance over time.
The course is organized into the following lessons:
+ Overview of TPM Legislative and Regulatory Requirements
+ Relating Pavement Performance to Planning, Asset Management and Existing Pavement Programs
+ The National Pavement Performance Measures
+ Setting Pavement Performance Targets
+ Reporting, Accountability, and Transparency
The course includes a written assessment. The course was launched in December 2017.
To enroll in this Instructor-led Training course, select the ‘View Sessions’ button and select ‘Add To Cart’ next to your
session choice. If there are no upcoming sessions, select ‘Sign Up for Session Alerts.’
Any organization can host this course. To host this course and bring training to your organization, click the ‘Host this
Course’ button.
Outcomes
• Describe the national performance management regulations related to pavement conditions
• List the data requirements for computing condition using national pavement performance metrics and measures
• Describe the process for using the national metrics and measures to assess pavement condition
• Describe the relationship of pavement performance measures and targets with the performance-based planning and
programming process and asset management programs as they apply to pavement networks
• Calculate pavement performance targets using existing and historical condition data, funding, other programming constraints,
and predicted future condition information
• Explain common challenges in establishing pavement performance targets and approaches that can be used to address them
• Describe the process for pavement performance reporting and evaluation
Target Audience
The target audience for this Instructor-led Training course primarily consists of professionals responsible for pavement
analysis, pavement project selection, evaluation of pavement investment strategies and associated risks, recommending

pavement targets, and monitoring pavement condition. This audience may include pavement engineers, asset managers,
planners, performance management, and programming staff of State and local agencies, consultants, and FHWA staff.

Course Title
Design of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes
Mechanically stabilized earth walls (MSEWs) are commonly used on roadway projects and are typically cost effective
and aesthetically pleasing. The basic concept behind MSEWs is to combine soil, reinforcing materials made of steel
or polymers, and appropriate facing to produce a composite system with engineering properties that are ideal for most
roadway applications. Reinforced soil slopes (RSS) utilize the same types of reinforcement for the construction of steep
embankments. Both MSEWs and RSS structures can provide substantial savings in construction time and costs when
compared with other types of earth retaining systems.
The goal of the course is to educate agencies about state-of-the-practice design tools. This includes comprehensive
instruction on the design of MSEWs using load resistance factor design (LRFD). The course also presents construction
practices to promote implementation of mechanically stabilized earth technology in cost effective earth retention
structures. This course would most benefit persons who are involved in the design and construction of earth retention
structures for surface transportation projects.
NOTE TO PARTICIPANT: Please bring a calculator that performs trigonometric calculations, a note pad, and a pencil.
NOTE TO HOST: In addition to the typical host requirements of NHI courses, for this course the host state technical
contact is asked to bring 30 copies of the standard MSE wall and the RSS specifications (or special provisions), a
complete set of applicable state DOT state construction specifications, standard plates, standard details, inspection
guidelines, etc. pertaining to earth retaining structures. Copies should be forwarded to the instructors a month before the
course. The host agency is also asked to provide approximately 20-25 pounds of dry sand. About 1/2 bag of “play” sand
from a hardware store will suffice.

Retaining Structures” is a shortened version of the NHI training course 132094 “LRFD Seismic Design of Transportation
Geotechnical Features and Structural Foundations” focusing specifically on the seismic design of retaining wall and
structural foundations aspects. It is a comprehensive and practical training course that addresses seismic analysis and
design of transportation geotechnical features including ground motion characterization using the AASHTO acceleration
response spectrum developed based upon the AASHTO or USGS hazard maps adjusted for local site conditions
using AASHTO soil site factors to account for local soil conditions or upon a site specific analysis; identification and
evaluation of geotechnical seismic hazards; soil-foundation-structure interaction; shallow foundation design; deep
foundation design; and design or earth retaining structures, including free standing retaining walls and abutment walls.
It is developed generally in consideration of the requirements and recommendations of the seismic provisions in both the
AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and the AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design, the
Final Report from NCHRP Project 12-70 “Seismic Analysis and Design of Retaining Walls, Buried Structures, Slopes, and
Embankments”, and 2006 FHWA Seismic Retrofitting Manual for Highway Structures. The 132094B course also focuses

Traffic Signal Timing Concepts
Traffic Signal Timing Concepts is a two-day course to assist in building technical expertise in signal timing by focusing on
the relationship between network context and operational objectives to inform the design of signal timing parameters.
The course will expand on the traditional signal timing process by incorporating an objectives and performance driven
approach that leads to selection of appropriate computational methods for design and operation of traffic signal timing.
For many agencies, the design of signal timing parameters is an exercise in data collection and software driven
optimization in response to citizen compliants. An ad-hoc complaint-driven processes with little documentation and
infrequent attempts to quantify performance or improvements is not likely to lead to a well-managed, objective driven
process for the timing and retiming of traffic signals, nor does it typically provide agencies with a good feel for the
overall performance of their system. What is needed is an objective-driven, performance-oriented approach to traffic
signal timing.
This course is very interactive and includes many exercises. Participants calculate various timing parameters by hand so
they should bring a calculator to the course.
Completion of NHI #133121 is recommended but not required.

Pavement Smoothness: Use of Inertial Profiler Measurements for Construction
Quality Control
Studies have shown that roughness is one of the biggest priorities of highway users. Additional studies have shown that
pavements that are built smooth stay smoother longer and provide a longer pavement life. Most State highway agencies
(SHAs) have some type of smoothness specification that is used to evaluate the smoothness of newly constructed
or rehabilitated pavements during acceptance testing. Many agencies also have incentives or disincentives for new
construction and rehabilitation, which are based on pavement smoothness.
Increasingly these agencies are turning to inertial profilers as the most reliable instrument for construction acceptance
testing and verifying pavement smoothness. The intent of this course is to train inertial profiler operators in the basics of
performing construction acceptance testing and to train those reviewing the data to comprehend how those data were
obtained and what they represent in order to build smoother riding roadways.
The course has been developed to be delivered in a single day of instructor-led training. In order to keep the instructor-
led portion of the training to a single day, the training includes two hours of independent study that should be completed
prior to attending the instructor-led session.
Outcomes
• Perform checks of the inertial profiler components to identify that the equipment is in proper working order.
• Determine the impact of current surface and environmental conditions on data collection.
• Collect profile data using appropriate operating techniques.
• Calculate a smoothness index using appropriate data processing techniques and computational procedures for use in
construction quality control and specification compliance.
• Identify what features in a collected profile are manifested in a smoothness or roughness index.
Target Audience
The course was designed for an audience directly involved in the use of inertial profilers and the application of the data
obtained from inertial profilers. This includes State and contractor road profiler operators who perform data collection,
initial processing, and reporting of smoothness data. Paving superintendents, project engineers, pavement engineers, and
inspectors who are performing data analysis, quality control, and acceptance will also benefit from this course. Ideally,
each session of the course will include a mixture of State and contractor personnel, including those who collect data,
those performing data processing, and those making decisions based upon data.

Full Depth Reclamation (FDR)
Full Depth Reclamation, or FDR, is a rehabilitation technique in which the full thickness of the asphalt pavement
and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials (that is, the base, the subbase, and/or subgrade) is uniformly
pulverized and blended to provide an upgraded, homogeneous material.
FDR was originally limited to low to medium traffic volume roadways; however, newer and larger equipment options
means that FDR now can be used on high traffic volume roadways. There is no upper limit to roadway traffic volumes if
a pavement structural design is undertaken as part of the rehabilitation process and traffic control allows for diversion of
traffic or travel on a pulverized or stabilized surface without damage.
This Web-based training contains four modules. Module 1 introduces full depth reclamation of pavements. Module 2
presents pre-production activities associated with FDR, including the pre-production meeting, roadway preparation, and
FDR equipment. Module 3 covers establishing a control strip and pulverizing material, and explores various methods
and agents used for stabilizing reclaimed materials. Module 4 reviews post-production actions following reclamation. It
takes approximately 4.5 hours to complete the four modules.

Utility Coordination for Highway Projects
This is a blended course, with both Web-based and instructor-led components. The Web-based training component (NHI
134006A) must be completed before attending the instructor-led training session.
Every State highway agency participates in construction projects that include accommodation and relocation of
utilities along public rights-of-way. 134006 Utility Coordination for Highway Projects considers how communication,
cooperation, and coordination between transportation agencies and utility companies can mitigate or avoid common
challenges. Participants in this blended course (combination of Web-based and instructor-led formats) learn how, when,
and where in the project development process to identify and conduct effective utility coordination.
Participants first take a self-paced, Web-based training to learn about regulatory requirements for both public and private
utilities, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and their own State’s Utility Accommodation Policy. During the 2-day
classroom event, participants learn to identify risks and potential issues associated with utilities, and then work together
to evaluate ways to avoid or mitigate those risks and issues. (Please note: An optional lesson on utility challenges in
projects using design-build delivery and other alternative contracting methods is available to be taught at the discretion
of the State.) By putting these lessons into practice, utility-related complications in many cases can be predicted and
mitigated at the most appropriate stage of project development, which can reduce potential negative impacts to timeline
and budget.
Outcomes
• Explain the importance of early and effective cooperation, communication, and coordination of utility-related activities
throughout a project’s lifecycle.
• Identify successful techniques that could be used to avoid or mitigate utility challenges throughout the project development
and delivery process.
• Explain the major impacts of identified conflicts or issues on the schedule or budget of a project.
• Explain the basic skills necessary to identify utility conflicts and develop a utility conflict matrix.
• Generate a personal resource toolkit for each of six major areas of project development (planning, design, environmental
considerations, right-of-way, construction, and maintenance).
Target Audience
The course targets Federal, State, and local personnel who are responsible for planning, designing, constructing,
operating, and maintaining transportation facilities that involve the accommodation or relocation of utilities. It is most
effectively delivered with participation from representatives of public and private utility companies, DOT contractors,
risk managers, right-of-way staff, mid-to-senior level managers, and engineering consultants. The participation of
utility company representatives in particular will be integral to the success of the course. Therefore, course organizers
need to make every effort to include utility company personnel, as well as the Federal, State, and local transportation
practitioners who comprise the more traditional audience for NHI training. Contractors and risk managers are
appropriate and vital attendees as well. A minimum of 10% of every class should come from outside Federal, State, and

Managing Highway Contract Claims: Analysis and Avoidance
Construction contract claims are the result of the owner and the contractor being unable to come to agreement regarding
an alleged change. Reducing or eliminating claims requires (1) a reduction in the number of potential changes, and (2)
the implementation of practices that increase the likelihood of an owner and contractor resolving a dispute. This course
provides the basic tools to address both elements of reducing or eliminating contract claims.
In this course, participants first walk step-by-step through the evaluation of a contract claim, looking at each component.
Separate course modules are devoted to these three components of a claim: entitlement, impact, and cost. The
“Entitlement” module focuses on the contract and the proper interpretation of common contract clauses. The “Impacts”
module focuses on delay and inefficiency--the two most difficult impacts to measure and, consequently, most difficult to
resolve. The “Cost” module explores costs that can prove difficult for the project team to resolve.
Next, the participants identify and review best practices associated with successful dispute resolution. In addition, there
is a module devoted solely to claims avoidance techniques and dispute resolution processes.
By completing this course, participants will have the opportunity to master techniques that can help them manage and
avoid claims.
Outcomes
• Define “claim”
• List the three parts of a claim
• Describe the difference between a directed and constructive change
• List examples of directed and constructive changes
• List basic contract principles and rules of contract interpretation
• List the contract clauses most relevant to the evaluation of claims

Construction Inspection of Bridge Rehabilitation Projects
This 4-day course has been designed to improve quality, ensure uniformity, and establish a minimum standard for bridge
rehabilitation.
The keys to successfully ensuring quality on rehab jobs are: knowing what should happen on a given job; identifying
problems when they do happen; and correctly using available resources to solve the problem. This course presents
innovative and best practice inspection techniques for each structural element of a bridge.
This course will introduce participants to distress and deterioration they may encounter when working with concrete
or steel that requires repair. It is essential to identify the issues that harm these materials because it is often poor
construction techniques that lead to reduced structural condition or shortened service life. The focus then turns to
construction and inspection practices pertaining to concrete decks, steel superstructures, concrete superstructures and
substructures, joints, and bearings.
The course is activity-rich, using discussions of best practices, small and large group activities for identifying critical
inspection moments, and a wide array of case studies from real projects to emphasize the importance of applying these
techniques in the field.

Contract Administration Core Curriculum
More than 10,000 Federal-aid construction contracts are authorized by FHWA each year. Those contracts are
subsequently administered by State departments of transportation and local public agencies that may not be familiar with
FHWA’s complex requirements for construction contracts. Recent FHWA program reviews of projects administered by
local public agencies indicated that contract administration is a continuing high-risk area that needs additional focus.
Therefore, a newly revised, 2-day instructor-led training course was developed in concert with updates and revisions
to the Contract Administration Core Curriculum (CACC) Manual (revised October 2014). The training was developed
to explain basic Federal-aid requirements; promote awareness of FHWA policy; facilitate familiarity with the newly
reorganized, revised, and expanded CACC manual; and allow supervised practice activities using the manual to find
information. By engaging in a variety of in-class exercises and case studies, participants become quite familiar with the
CACC Manual and learn how to best use it as a daily resource.
A basic understanding of the background and structure of the Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) is required for
participants attending this course. Participants who are new to administering Federal-aid contracts should take one
of NHI’s introductory courses to the Federal-aid Highway Program (NHI 310110, 310109, or the Web-based training
310115) prior to attending this course. Anyone needing a refresher on the FAHP is encouraged to take NHI 310115
(Federal-aid 101) before attending the CACC course.
Prior to attending class, all participants are expected to watch the Federal-aid Essentials video Stewardship and
Oversight. This video is approximately 8.5-minutes long and can be accessed at www.fhwa.dot.gov/federal-
aidessentials/.
Outcomes
• Use the Contract Administration Core Curriculum Manual (CACC) and other FHWA resources in order to answer questions
regarding program-level and project-level requirements on Federal Aid (FA) projects
• Describe the impact program-level contract requirements have on individual FA projects
• Identify the contract requirements associated with administering FA projects for Federal and State entities at the pre-award,

Risk Management
Managing transportation networks--including agency management, program development, and project delivery--
is extremely complex and fraught with uncertainty. Any agency can use risk management as the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) does: to focus limited resources; strengthen its ability to prioritize; and improve communication
and foster transparent leadership.
In this 2-day, instructor-led class, participants are exposed to the principles, tools, and techniques used to identify,
prioritize, respond to, and monitor risk. They learn to apply these risk management tools and techniques at any level
of an organization (enterprise, program, project, or activity). Throughout the course, participants answer the following
questions.
1. What is risk?
2. Why should programs be risk-based?
3. What should program managers know about the results of risk analysis, risk statements and responses, strategies, and
tracking of implementation?
4. How can risks be measured?
5. How is risk management tied to strategic planning (especially with performance measures)?
This training event combines limited instructor presentations with robust group discussions and multiple team-based
exercises. Course material is based on FHWA generally accepted risk management principles and practice. Teams of
participants work on agency-specified objectives to identify and manage risks. They leave class with work products
including a risk register template and other tools for identifying, prioritizing, and responding to risk.
NOTE: Participants use tools and methods from each step of the risk management framework in a series of exercises that
provide realistic, job-relevant practice in applying the risk management process. In order to maximize the impact of the
training and increase the likelihood of participants’ mastery of the risk management process, the agency can select active
agency issues (project, program, or network) for use during the exercises. In addition, the agency can provide problem
statements and pre-select the teams for the exercises.
Outcomes
• Recognize the connection between effective risk management and achieving organizational objectives.
• Follow the steps of the risk management process to identify and develop risk strategies.
• Apply the risk management process to one’s own level of decision-making within an organization.

Financial Planning for Transportation Asset Management
Financial plans provide an excellent opportunity for agencies to demonstrate to constituents that they are responsibly
managing their transportation assets. Get the information you need to develop or further develop your TAM Financial
Plans!
The blended training approach to NHI 136002 Financial Planning for Transportation Asset Management (TAM) includes a
brief (one-hour) Web-based training (WBT) component. The WBT builds foundational knowledge of financial planning in
the context of TAM and reviews common vocabulary and background information.
Then, an instructor-led, classroom-based event completes the blended approach. Over the course of 1.5 days,
participants discover the key content areas of a financial plan and explore the approaches to developing one. A
facilitator guides small working groups as they create a financial plan outline that includes each content area. The groups
identify gaps that could reduce the plan’s effectiveness and identify the next steps their agency must take to fully develop
the financial plan. The teams’ financial plan outlines are evaluated by the instructor. Participants leave the classroom
with a useful work product that can be further developed and used in the agency’s financial planning process.
Outcomes
• Describe the financial plan’s purpose and benefits.
• Create an outline that identifies the components of the financial plan and describes for each component: the required content;
key factors that influence the development; the stakeholders involved in the development of the component; and the roles and
responsibilities of each stakeholder.
• Identify gaps in policies, data, and processes that need to be addressed by your agency to develop the financial plan, using the
financial plan outline.
• Recommend the next steps the agency could take to develop the financial plan.
Target Audience
The primary target audience for this training is anyone involved with developing the financial plan, including asset
managers, program managers, financial officers and managers (revenue, budget, accounting, and audit), maintenance
directors, planners, and their staff. While titles and roles vary from agency to agency, staff involved in developing

’Transportation Performance Management for Pavements’ is a one-day Instructor-led Training course offered by NHI, the
Recent legislation has resulted in new requirements for national performance measures and targets in several measure
areas, including pavement conditions. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) established the
requirements, and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) continued them. Most States and other transportation
agencies have established their own measures for pavement conditions; however, few transportation officials have
experience in managing a performance-based program with specific outcome-oriented pavement targets.
This course is intended to review concepts in Transportation Performance Management (TPM), identify specific measures
used for characterizing pavement conditions, and provide methods for analyzing and recommending pavement
condition targets and approaches for monitoring pavement networks. One important aspect of TPM is monitoring
performance once targets have been established and using information on current performance to guide decision
making. The final portion of the course focuses on performance monitoring and approaches for updating performance
targets over time.
The main goal of the course is to provide agency staff with the skills and abilities to use the national measures to assess
pavement condition, establish pavement condition targets, and report and evaluate pavement performance over time.

Effective Target Setting for Transportation Performance Management
’Effective Target Setting for Transportation Performance Management’ is a 2-day Instructor-led Training (ILT) course offered
by NHI, the authoritative source in transportation training.
Transportation agencies have been moving toward a performance-based management approach for over a decade. The
passage of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) Act further emphasized the importance of
target setting within a performance management context. MAP-21 requires State Departments of Transportation (State
DOTs), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and public transit providers to set performance targets for the
United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) established national performance measures.
It is anticipated that performance management principles will carry forward in subsequent legislation as it has been
shown to be good business practice and has been supported by the United States Government Accountability Office
(GAO). While FHWA and most State DOTs and MPOs have experience with developing performance measures and
reporting on condition/performance, experience is much more limited in setting performance targets and reporting
on the achievement (or not) of those targets. Understanding and applying targets within a Transportation Performance
Management (TPM) program is a critical component of TPM.
This course will provide the information needed on how to establish and use performance targets. The course will
answer these broad questions: What is a target?, Why should I set targets?, How do I set targets?, How do I use targets?
The focus of this training will be at the State/MPO level. Federal employees will learn about their role in the context of
States/MPOs going through the target setting steps.
This course includes a written assessment. The course content was last updated in October 2017.

Introduction to Transportation Asset Management with Workshop
“An Introduction to Transportation Asset Management” was updated in Fall of 2017 to reflect the Asset Management Rule
(23 CFR part 515) and includes a summary of specific provisions related to asset management. Whether your agency is
focused on meeting current requirements or planning for future enhancements and implementation, this course can help
you meet those challenges!
Stakeholders today demand transparency in the transportation agency’s decision process; meanwhile, the agency faces
higher expectations for customer service with fewer available resources. Transportation asset management (TAM) is a
strategic approach to managing physical transportation infrastructure. The TAM environment promotes effective use of
funding and can provide a method for defending the need for additional resources because it uses reliable data and a
clear set of expected performance metrics to guide investment decisions and identify required resources.
NHI 136106A is a 1.5-day course that covers the principles of TAM and introduces the core questions every agency
should be able to answer about its assets. Join this class to participate in a series of workshops that help you apply asset
management principles to real-life situations. You’ll also find an agency assessment tool that can be used to identify gaps
between the desired and actual use of TAM principles. Other topics introduced in this course include: asset management
principles; performance management; long-term financial planning; risk assessment; and implementation.
This course is a prerequisite for NHI 136106B “Development of a Transportation Asset Management Plan.” You may also
be interested in NHI 136106C “Introduction to Transportation Asset Management Plans,” which is a Web-based training.
See the NHI website for additional information on each of these courses.
Outcomes
• Champion the use of asset management principles and concepts within the organization

Writing Effective Program Review Reports: Moving People to Action
The ability to provide clear communication is vital to the business of FHWA and good writing skills are a key element in
the communication process. FHWA uses program reviews as tools to fulfill its stewardship and oversight responsibilities,
manage program risk, and identify process improvements for the Federal-aid program. Each year, FHWA conducts
approximately 200 program reviews. The product of these reviews is usually a review that details the observations and
recommendations of the review team in an effort to improve a process or product. The review’s effectiveness is largely
determined by how well the review is communicated to the target audience.
The goal of this course is to improve the writing skills of FHWA’s employees. Improved writing skills should lead to
higher quality review reviews, which in turn should increase FHWA’s ability to motivate the reading audience to act
upon the review’s recommendations. Action on the part of the reader will ultimately lead to improved effectiveness in
delivering FHWA programs by reducing costs, accelerating project delivery, and improving stewardship and oversight.
Throughout this course, you will learn that effective writing is more than proper punctuation and using spell-check. It’s
learning how to write for your audience, the busy reader. You will also learn writing skills that will aid in motivating your
readers to action.
Outcomes
• write an executive summary that informs the audience about potential problems and persuades them to act on your
recommendations or solution;
• write recommendations that motivate the audience to take corrective action;
• discuss usefulness and readability;
• describe how review content is generated by questions;
• develop and answer review objectives;
• evaluate the logical link of review objectives, observations, and recommendations;
• focus on the relevant elements of an observation finding to create convincing support;
• use the deductive message-first structure throughout reviews;
• design/organize reviews to benefit the busy reader;
• control paragraph unity (one main topic) and coherence (flow);
• avoid information overload within sentences;
• control common sentence problems; and
• develop objective criteria for writing and reviewing reviews.
Target Audience
This course is primarily intended for FHWA personnel who are responsible for writing program reviews. It is anticipated
that participants may not have in-depth writing background. More knowledgeable persons may be expected to attend
and will add to the overall effectiveness of the training through their active participation.

Introduction to Data Analysis
In this age of information, FHWA’s business requires skill to analyze, evaluate, and present data and information so that
others understand, gain knowledge and have a greater ability to make decisions. Our agency has a unique perspective to
help identify Federal Highway program improvements by analyzing the data available either in-depth and across many
core highway programs including civil rights, finance, environment, planning, design, construction, operations, and
safety. This perspective coupled with the Agency’s stewardship and oversight role provides opportunities to interact with
decision makers to improve the quality of the highway program. We use Program Reviews as a tool to manage program
risk and assist our partners in identifying program improvements, and it is important to have the tools and techniques to
analyze highway program data and be able to present it as easily understood information in our Program Review reports.
By taking this course tailored to the FHWA business context, participants will be better able to make data driven
decisions in a performance measurement operating environment. FHWA staff will be better able to present information
in Program Review Reports based on sound data analysis by applying the skills learned in data collection, analysis,
sampling, and statistical analysis. As the agency continues to prepare for Performance Management, our agency staff
would benefit from this suite of training modules that delve deeper into the above-referenced data oriented areas.
The overall goal of this course is to improve FHWA’s ability to apply techniques and tools when evaluating and
presenting data and information used to develop recommendations and solutions in the program improvement and
performance measurement context. So much information is accessible and can be easily stored electronically. There
will continue to be a need for skills and refresher training to do data analysis and evaluation. To make the best use of
available data it is important to have fundamental statistical knowledge and be able to use tools when analyzing data.
The data analysis skills gained by taking this course are expected to be applied during the conduct of program and
process reviews and while implementing performance management strategies.
Outcomes
• Identify useful analysis models such as root cause analysis, six sigma model, and Plan-Do-Check-Act.
• Evaluate data and information that support recommendations for program improvements.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the tools and techniques for graphically presenting data and information so that others
understand, gain knowledge, and have a greater ability to make decisions.
Target Audience
This course is appropriate for any individual that needs to apply techniques and tools for evaluating and presenting data
and information.

Recognizing Roadside Weeds (Southeastern States)
This training was prepared by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI and
has been designed for someone learning the first steps in the vegetation management. However, it does not go into the
education of weed prevention. This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council
levels I, and II. This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians.
The first step in determining an appropriate weed control strategy is to identify the weed plant. There are numerous
different plants growing along many roadsides that can be considered weeds. This is a basic course in the area of
weed identification. Most weeds are territorial to different climates and regions, therefore, making it difficult to identify
nationally weeds that are dealt with by different State DOT’s. This training does focus on southeastern states and is
organized in alphabetical order of the weeds that will be covered.
For more information on how stop the migration of weeds contact your State Vegetation Management Program.
Outcomes
• Understand the definition of a weed
• Describe the reasons for weed control
• Identify several of the most common weeds

Alternative Intersections and Interchanges
Transportation professionals are continually challenged with finding improved ways for satisfying the mobility needs of
an increasing population. Highway intersections pose particular challenges with regard to safety and mobility as traffic
volumes and congestion levels continue to increase. As a result, drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists experience longer
delays and greater exposure to safety risks. Today’s traffic and safety problems are becoming increasingly more complex,
and conventional intersections and interchange designs are sometimes found to be insufficient to mitigate transportation
problems. Consequently, many engineers are investigating and implementing innovative treatments in an attempt to
alleviate these issues.
This course provides participants with an overview of various non-traditional intersection concepts that may offer
advantages compared to conventional at-grade intersections and grade-separated interchanges. The training presents

together is a lack of understanding of each area’s responsibilities and a common language. The course provides a basic
understanding of how the HSIP works; encourages managers to make employees knowledgeable about the program; and
begins to establish a common language among HSIP practitioners. The HSIP Overview Course can help overcome the
barriers to cross-discipline collaboration.
NHI hosts the HSIP Overview Course and four other Web-based HSIP-related training courses: 380113 Strategic
Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Development, 380114 SHSP Implementation, 380111 HSIP Project Identification, and
380112 HSIP Project Evaluation.
Outcomes
• Describe HSIP program structure;
• Recognize HSIP legislative/regulatory requirements;
• Identify potential safety data issues and method for overcoming data challenges; and
• Explain the processes involved in HSIP planning, implementation and evaluation.
Target Audience
This training course is designed for a wide range of transportation professionals from transportation agency leadership to
new practitioners in the transportation safety field, HSIP managers and SHSP partners.

Speed Management
The negative consequences of speeding impact more than just one type of crash, person or place. The causes and
effects of speeding-related crashes are often cross-cutting and preventative safety measures should be addressed
in a comprehensive speed management program. In this transportation training, participants learn lifesaving
countermeasures that shape speed management programs and how these can help communities combat speeding-
related injuries and deaths.
This 1-day Instructor-led training emphasizes how state and local governments can improve community safety by
integrating speed management principles into three critical safety focus areas: roadway departures, intersections, and
pedestrians and bicyclists.
Training participants will discuss:
What percentage of roadway departure crashes are speeding-related?
Which types of intersections have the most speeding-related crashes?
What vehicle speed is hazardous for pedestrians and bicyclists?
Participants who complete this transportation training will be able to appropriately apply safety strategies and
countermeasures to reduce traffic fatalities from speeding as part of a comprehensive speed management program.
Outcomes
• Describe the three safety focus areas identified by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to target with a speed
management program.
• Identify speeding-related safety problems in the three safety focus areas
• Explain how engineering, enforcement, and education efforts can be coordinated to effectively manage speed
• Identify and apply appropriate safety strategies and countermeasures for each of the three focus areas
• Identify approaches for evaluating road segments and posting appropriate speed limits
Target Audience
The target audience of the FHWA Speed Management training includes Federal, State, tribal, and local transportation
professionals, as well as law enforcement and other public safety advocates who are interested in having safer roadways
through the application of speed management principles. This course is designed for learners at a basic or intermediate

Instructor Development Course (3.5-Day)
The 3.5-day is geared to instructors who anticipate teaching from a complete set of training materials (instructor manuals,
participant workbooks, and visual aids) developed by training professionals.
This Instructor Development Course (IDC) will provide new and experienced instructors the knowledge and skills to
deliver more effective training. NHI defines training as a “demonstration of acquired skills and knowledge of adult
learning principles which necessitates that learning outcomes be developed and their attainment be measured.”
A skilled trainer, therefore, will emphasize the use of experiential learning techniques, such as problem solving analysis,
discussion, question and answer sessions, group activities, demonstrations, role-plays, etc. In essence, these learning
activities tap into the knowledge and skills that an adult learner brings to the classroom and have the goal of meeting
both the learning outcomes and the participants’ expectations.
Pre-Class Assignment:
Training Sessions: You must come prepared to present a 15-minute training session at the beginning of the workshop.
The topic for your session should be job related; it can either come from a course you have taught, will be teaching, or
are developing. The 15 minutes typically translate to about 5 to 7 minutes of content with time for exercises, activities
and/or questions, etc. Visual aids, such as overhead transparencies or handouts should be brought with you. Please bring
your own laptop computer if you are planning to do a PowerPoint presentation.
A word of caution, not all training facilities are equipped with the appropriate technical support for a PowerPoint
presentation (i.e., in-focus projector or support software) or have the equipment to reproduce overhead transparencies.
For this reason, we encourage you to make use of other types of visual aids, such as flip charts, write-on transparencies,
and handouts. These nontechnical methods will NOT diminish, but enhance the value of your presentation. Use a
holistic approach in your training.
Readings: Reading material will be sent to you 2-3 weeks prior to the training session.
This course is part of the NHI Instructor Certification program. To learn more about NHI’s Instructor Certification visit the
NHI Web site at https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/course-instruction.aspx.
Outcomes
• Explain the five steps in the ISD system
• Write a behavioral learning outcome
• Present, measure, and review a learning outcome
• Demonstrate at least two forms of interactivity and positive interpersonal skills
• List five training techniques (e.g., Do not talk to the flip chart; do not stand in front of the projector; and do not stand in one
