Pilot/Escort Vehicle Operator Training (P/EVO)

The training standards for P/EVO certification and the Evergreen Safety Council program comply with guidelines established by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Washington State Patrol (WSP). The training focuses on state regulations, procedures, safety practices, and operator responsibilities.

To Receive Certification:

• Complete a one-day (approximately eight hours) training course.
• Complete an open-book examination and achieve a minimum score of 80%.

A successful candidate will receive a WSDOT P/EVO certification card that is valid for three years. The certification card may have a passport-size picture attached and can be laminated. Otherwise, a driver’s license must be shown if asked for verification of identification.

Note: Those with a Washington State driver’s license must have the Washington certification.
