Federal-aid Essentials: Quick Training!

Topic: Bike and Pedestrian Accommodation

There’s a lot to know and remember when working on a federal-aid project! The Federal Highway Administration has compiled a library of over 100 on-demand training videos for federal-aid local transportation projects. Periodically, the ODOT Certification Program will recommend a topic and related resources for a quick self-guided training.
