A CT Local Traffic Authority Program Required Workshop

 

Course Description:

On June 26, 2023, Governor Ned Lamont signed Senate Bill 904. Section 5 of this bill requires Local Traffic Authorities (LTAs), or their designee, to attend a training program annually through the University of Connecticut’s T2 Center, to provide them with critical knowledge and skills to better serve in this important role. This course will satisfy this annual training requirement.

This is a multiple-day course that includes a prerequisite, an on-demand module about the Powers and Responsibilities of the LTA. To receive credit, participants must attend the entire course and complete the prerequisite through our online system.

  • Identify and access technical resources that support an LTA’s primary areas of responsibility.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the applicable provisions of the general statutes and any regulations adopted by the Office of the State Traffic Administration.
