NYSLTAP - CLRP Fall 2021 - Winter 2022 Webinars
Join us for a new, ongoing series of free foundational webinars focused on the important principles key to local highway agency operations and management. Focusing on why we do what we do - “Why do we put three signs in advance of a work zone?” each webinar offers a convenient way to learn the basics of a particular topic. Taken together, they cover the foundation of local highway issues.
Many webinars will be repeated yearly or every other year to give attendees the opportunity to attend the full series. Our foundational webinars are held most Tuesdays in the late fall, winter, and summer from 9am to 10am EST. Click the link under the topics below to register.
