2012 was a busy
publishing year for Pacific Crest! We were pleased to be selected as
the publisher and designer for four different transportation-related
books, published through a project sponsored by the Federal Highway
Administration, and representing a collaboration of the Region X
Transportation Consortium, with members at the University of Idaho,
Portland State University, the University of Washington, and the
University of Alaska.
During the course of the project, four new activity-based
transportation courses and books were created, including “Traffic
Signal Systems Operations and Design”, “Understanding and
Communicating Transportation Data”, “Introduction to Freight
Transportation”, and “Rural Highway Design and Safety”. Each are
learner-centered and include activities completed by students to
form the basis for their learning. Pacific Crest assisted with
designing the look of the curricula and publishing the books in
print or electronic format.
Pacific Crest also
designed and created the websites associated with each of the books.
We welcome you to take a look at what is publicly available for each
of the books. Simply click the book covers below! You're also
