NYSLTAP-CLRP Webinars & Online Training

All online webinars and virtual workshops are worth Road Master credit based on the length of the session. 

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.

Our Foundational Webinars are held most Tuesdays in the late fall, winter, and summer, 9 am - 10 am EST. Many webinars will be repeated yearly or every other year to give attendees the opportunity to attend the full series. Click the topics below to register.
