  • Abstract:
    As a result of a contract with the Virginia Department of Highways and

    Transportation the Transportation Safety Training Center at Virginia

    Commonwealth University, in cooperation with two special transportation

    providers planned and implemented two paratransit roadeos in 1981. The roadeos

    were held in Charlottesville, Virginia, August, 1981 and in Martinsville,

    Virginia, October 1981.

    Both roadeos involved 15 operators matching their driving knowledge and skills

    against each other in competition. The competition was divided into two phases.

    The first phase involved a written examination addressing driving techniques

    with an emphasis on safety. The second phase was a practical exercise requiring

    each participant to maneuver their vehicle through each of five exercises. The

    emphasis of the practical exercise was on precision driving. All competition

    ws preceded by a classroom session covering the basics of defensive driving.

    The cussess of these roadeos has led to the development of this Paratransit

    Roadeo Curriculum Guide. The material contained in this publication is based on

    the model developed for the two preliminary roadeos. The "guide" is designed

    such that a roadeo can be planned and implemented by the staff of any

    paratransit organization. However, it is recommended that during the planning

    stage the "guide" be read completely so as to facilitate any changes that may

    be necessary to meet individual organization needs.
