Session 1 is April 19-20 and Session 2 is April 21-22. The information covered at both sessions will be identical, so you only need to register for one of the sessions.
The purpose of this course is to explain basic Federal-aid requirements; promote awareness of FHWA policy; facilitate familiarity with the newly reorganized, revised, and expanded CACC manual; and allow supervised practice activities using the manual to find information. By engaging in a variety of in-class exercises and case studies, participants will become familiar with the CACC Manual and learn how to best use it as a daily resource.
As a reminder, two additional sessions will be held in October in the Eugene/Springfield area. Registration space is limited, so please work within your agency to prioritize attendance of staff who will benefit from the training the most.
