About the Transportation and Safety Congress 

Local Public Adminstration (LPA)

Training Description: Local Project Administration through WYDOT enables cities, towns and nonprofit agencies to make transportation improvements with federal and state money. A certified staff member takes charge of a “locally administered project” in partnership with WYDOT which makes sure all federal and state requirements are met. Requirements can be overwhelming to local agencies, especially if federal funds are infrequently used. The goal is to assist local agencies in bringing projects to successful completion.
Who should attend: Any city, town, county, or local public agency employee or consultant project manager who will be responsible for the oversight of a federally funded project should attend this certification workshop. Attendees are expected to already possess a working knowledge of this subject.

Work Zone/ATSSA

Training Description: The morning session will cover basic aspects of traffic control in work zones. Use of the MUTCD to select an appropriate layout will be covered, along with the procedures that should be followed to make sure the work zone is safe. The afternoon session is specifically for those who will be flaggers. Flaggers must understand their role in the work zone and they need to know how to perform their job safely and effectively. This will be covered in the afternoon session. Those who successfully complete the morning and afternoon sessions and pass the written and demonstration tests will receive a three-year, nationally recognized ATSSA flagger certificate.
Who should attend: This class is specifically designed for local government workers, anyone who will be working on a site would be encouraged to attend.
