North Carolina Complete Streets Training (Raleigh)Highway Safety Research CenterRaleigh, NC Training Overview
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is offering 24 two-day training courses to provide detailed information about implementing its Complete Streets Policy. These training courses will take place across the state throughout 2013, and follow a series of four regional workshops held in late 2012. These training courses will provide detailed technical information about implementing the concepts introduced in the Complete Streets Guidelines. State and local engineers and planners are strongly encouraged to attend. Those who attended the regional workshops in 2012 should also attend, as these training courses will include important information that was not covered during the workshops.
Purpose
These two‐day interactive training sessions will explain the purpose of NCDOT’s Complete Streets Policy and provide detailed information about specific steps that can be taken to incorporate Complete Streets into a variety of projects at various stages in the planning and design process. The courses will include:
- Overview of the Complete Streets approach, including challenges and benefits to implementation
- Step-by-step guidance through the Complete Streets guidelines, with a focus on applying the guidelines to real-world scenarios
- Examples of successful Complete Streets projects around North Carolina
- Field exercises and other interactive components to help illustrate key points and concepts
- Materials for attendees, including a printed copy of the Complete Streets Guidelines
- Certificate of completion for those who attend the full two days of training

He also serves as a Program Manager for the FHWA-sponsored national bicycle and pedestrian clearinghouse, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC), a Federal Clearinghouse of pedestrian- and bicycle-related training materials and resources. Mr. Sundstrom is an instructor for Road Safety 101, an online certificate aimed at teaching the fundamentals of road safety coordinated through the Highway Safety Research Center and has been involved in developing and teaching a graduate-level pedestrian and bicycle planning course. Mr. Sundstrom is a registered professional engineer in North Carolina and a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering. Daniel Carter Daniel Carter is a senior research associate with the Highway Safety Research Center. His research experience includes the areas of roadway and safety data, GIS data, countermeasure evaluation, blind and sighted pedestrian safety, and large truck safety. He handles data collection and analysis for many types of highway safety studies. Mr. Carter has had much experience with researching and obtaining roadway and safety data from state agencies. He has been integrally involved with a series of FWHA projects, Evaluation of Low Cost Safety Strategies, which focus on evaluating the crash saving benefits of low cost safety strategies, such as signing, striping, and flashing beacons. His role involved identifying treatment and comparison sites and collecting data on site geometry, safety treatment details, traffic volume, and crash history. Mr. Carter also serves as Principal Investigator on an NCHRP project (Guidelines for Accessible Pedestrian Signals, project 3-62) which conducts research on accessible pedestrian signals to develop guidance for signal engineers and others who deal with APS.
