Event Information 

• • 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

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.

This will be covered in the afternoon session.
