Enabling Transportation Planning Professional Advancement

We are a consortium of faculty, OER libraries, and instructional design services at the University of Texas-Arlington (UTA), California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) and the University of South Florida (USF) aiming to:

• • Eliminate textbook costs in transportation planning in selected courses at collaborating institutions in Texas, California, and Florida.
  • Expand OER-enabled education in transportation planning—an in-demand occupation.

To accomplish these goals, we leverage the Mavs Open Press operated by UTA Libraries, each institution’s OER libraries and OER expertise, learning management system, and centers for teaching and learning excellence. We collaborate through our established network: the Center for Transportation, Equity, Decisions and Dollars (C-TEDD), a transportation research center based at UTA, and with our respective metropolitan stakeholders, transportation agencies and employers. The project sponsored by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) in the U.S. Department of Education was awarded in January 2021 and follows a three-phase approach to OER creation, implementation, and dissemination.
