Description

All work zone personnel should receive training according to the job decision they are required to make. Training enables highway workers to provide for the safety of motorists, workers and pedestrians.The Traffic Control Supervisor course is a 2-day course designed for individuals who supervise traffic control technicians and other field personnel. It provides comprehensive training on work zone standards, guidelines, installation and removal procedures, inspection, documentation and supervisory skills.

The TCS course expands on the concepts and techniques taught in the Traffic Control Technician (TCT), which is a prerequisite for this course*. Students are taught how to read and interpret traffic control plans for implementation in the field. Several workshops included in this course are designed to provide hands-on experience implementing and modifying temporary traffic control plans for various real life situations. It also teaches how to recognize, analyze correct and document deficiencies. These workshops also provide the opportunity for students to learn to work together as a team and to present solutions to the class. A further objective of this course is to teach the students skills necessary to become an effective Supervisor so they can effectively oversee personnel in the field.

ATSSA instructors bring years of practical experience in traffic control to the classroom. They present this 2-day class using an illustrated PowerPoint presentation covering material from the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). State and local standards and guidelines may also be discussed. Instructors will spend time with each workshop group providing direction and advice to the groups as they work on their assignments. Each student receives a notebook containing a Student Reference Guide and workshop materials, Part 6 of the MUTCD and the ATSSA Quality Guidelines for Traffic Control Devices.

Certification is valid for 4 years. At the end of 4 years, the student must take a re certification exam to be re certified.

Students will leave this course with knowledge needed to interpret and implement temporary traffic control plans in the field to make the project as safe as possible for their fellow workers, motorists and pedestrians.
