Maintenance Training

The focus of the Maintenance Training Unit is to develop new job-specific courses related to job functions, processes and/or safe operations of each piece of equipment used by DOTD maintenance field personnel. Maintenance training courses promote an awareness of safe practices and attitudes needed for maximum job performance. Older courses are redesigned to bring them up-to-date with current state and federal regulations as well as department policy, procedures and specifications.

The Maintenance Training Unit continues to serve as the program administrator and recognized testing authority, offering testing services on behalf of the International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA) for certifications for LADOTD and Louisiana city/parish employees.
