MaineDOT's Local Project Administration Certification Course:

Registration Brochure

• Tuesday, March 27 in Waterville at the Elks: www.watervilleelksbanquetcenter.com
• Thursday, April 5 in Portland at the Fireside Inn: firesideinnportland.com

This one-day course covers the basics of undertaking transportation projects such as sidewalks, trails and harbor improvements with Federal money. It is required for city and town employees and officials involved with locally administered projects (LAP) who either have not taken the training or whose certification has expired.

Recommended for municipal staffs with active LAP's -- even if they are currently certified -- since the program can serve as a review and refresher for those in the middle of a project.  Completion of the course results in a certification that is good for 5 years. The cost is $30 and includes morning refreshments, lunch and all training materials.
