Iowa LTAP is pleased to announce that registration is open for the Iowa Work Zone Safety Workshop scheduled for the week of February 22 – March 1.  The General Session on Monday, 2/22 followed by Audience Specific Sessions on 2/23, 2/24, 2/25 and 3/1.

Work zone traffic control and safety training will be offered virtually so that workers across the state can participate conveniently. The workshop will cover current revisions in the 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), particularly Part 6. The workshops consist of a general session for all participants, plus breakout sessions that will be scheduled throughout the week tailored to specific categories of work zone activities: city, county, utility, Iowa DOT construction and contractors, and Iowa DOT maintenance.

The cost for this training is $25/person.

The Iowa Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) has a Work Zone Sign Package Program that gives small cities in Iowa (less than 10,000 population) an opportunity to receive work zone signs and devices.

In the past, LTAP has only offered this package program to cities that had attended work zone safety training or other LTAP-sponsored events within the last three years. This year, the committee wanted to open the program to all cities in Iowa within the population range. This year, small cities that have taken work zone safety training, either through the Work Zone Safety Series or through IAMU, will receive bonus points on their applications.

The deadline to apply is Nov. 29, 2019.
