Idaho Traffic Control Supervisor Certification
Idaho State Traffic Control Supervisor Certification & Recertification:
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and an increasing number of other Public Works/Street and Highway Departments are requiring a certified Traffic
Control Supervisor (TCS) for road construction and maintenance projects. The Evergreen Safety Council (ESC) is approved by ITD and the State Traffic Control
Oversight Committee to present this program. The program is comprised of materials developed by the Federal Highway Administration, ITD and ESC.
To qualify for certification you must meet the requirements listed above.
Course Description
This 2-day certification course includes presentations, exercises, and references to Federal and State highway construction and Traffic Control standards.
Participants receive a comprehensive reference manual and other reference materials to assist with on-the-job practical issues and performance standards. Once
successfully completed, certification is valid for 4 years.
Renewing the certification is accomplished by attending and successfully completing a 1-day Idaho Traffic Control Supervisor Recertification class.
Note: If your TCS card expires, you have six months to take the one-day recertification. However, you cannot work as a certified TCS if your card is
expired.
Course Fee
Cost of the class is $445 for members or $495 for non members.
