PTOE Refresher Course
Schedule: September 8, 2011
Course flyer(pdf, 1 page)
Description: Mn/DOT is proud to announce that it is again co-sponsoring a PTOE refresher course and exam that will be offered this fall. This will be the fourth time that this opportunity has come to Minnesota and Mn/DOT fully supports the PTOE certification. As our roadways become stressed due to increases in volumes, and as ITS projects continue to be implemented, there will be increasing emphasis on traffic engineering operations. It is important for Mn/DOT engineers to have the appropriate skills as they are called upon to manage and operate the transportation system so that we can move Toward Zero Deaths.
The private sector continues to gear up for this by certifying their engineers.
Mn/DOT must also ensure that we have PTOE certified professionals on staff. Please consider this personal development opportunity that will certainly be very useful in your career at Mn/DOT.
