Attendees will learn how to
◾ Apply the latest safety and mobility design concepts related to TTC plans for work zones.
◾ Identify the latest FDOT standards related to TTC plans for planning, design, and project management.
◾ Demonstrate knowledge of standards related to such items as worker and flagger apparel (such as ANSI and similar standard guides).
◾ Consider alternative innovations, best practices, and recent research findings in work zone planning, design, and execution.
◾ Develop temporary transportation management plans for safety and mobility.
◾ Identify and analyze specific (key) issues and concerns that affect work zone design and demonstrate the ability to explain safety and mobility issues, impacts, and alternatives to peers, the public, or decision-makers.
◾ Summarize work zone safety and mobility impacts and alternatives.

The target audience is state and local design engineers, traffic and safety engineers, senior work zone traffic engineers, transportation planners, employees/board members of metropolitan planning organizations, regional planners, regional construction engineers (with work zone experience), and senior engineering technicians.
