This report documents a project addressing a recognised lack of traffic management knowledge and skills in young practitioners through the development of a series of online learning modules in traffic management.

This report brings together the results of four progress reports that were produced during the project. It covers the various stages of the project, from the initial literature review of existing learning materials in traffic management, to the finalisation of the learning module webinars and tutorials for uploading to the Austroads website where they may be accessed by anyone wishing to improve their knowledge and capabilities in traffic management.
