Thanks to a work zone safety grant from FHWA, the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) will be offering their Traffic Control Supervisor Louisiana Specific Course to Local Public Agency (LPA) personnel, and others, in June of 2015. Completion of this course is a requirement for contractors and inspectors on most construction projects in Louisiana involving State or Federal funds. This course also provides valuable information for engineering, public works, and supervisory employees in the public sector. The cost of this course is only $25 for public agency employees, the remainder being subsidized by the FHWA grant. This course features new "Louisiana Specific" standards now used in all Federal and State funded projects in Louisiana and are included on DOTD's Traffic Control Detail Standard Plans.

The Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) Louisiana Specific Course is a two-day course to be held on March 3-4 at TTEC, which includes four workshops and one homework problem.
