ge of temporary traffic control
that allows them to assist in installing traffic control devices, in monitoring their performance, and in recognizing
deficiencies during the course of a project.
The one-day TCT course provides an introduction to temporary traffic control in work zones for individuals who
work in the field installing and removing traffic control devices. It teaches concepts, techniques and practices
in the installation, and maintenance of traffic control devices. The students are provided an ATSSA Guide which
is used as the basic text material for the course. This handy Guide booklet contains material condensed from the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) but in a simplified, easy to understand and use format.
All ATSSA classes are taught by highly qualified instructors that bring many years experience in traffic control to
the classroom. They present this class using an illustrated PowerPoint presentation covering the material in the
Guide along with personal observations and anecdotes from their experiences. The student will leave this class
with practical knowledge that will enable them to help make their projects safer for the workers, motorists and
pedestrians and help reduce the exposure of the worker and the company to possible litigation.
Previous experience in temporary traffic control is not required for this
course. However, if the student wishes to be TCT certified; one year
(2000 hours) of temporary traffic control experience will be required.
In most states, passing this course is a prerequisite to register in the

Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS)
Advanced training in the principles of temporary work zone traffic control
All work zone personnel should receive training according to the job decision they are required to make. Training enables
highway workers to provide for the safety of motorists, workers and pedestrians.
The Traffic Control Supervisor course is a 2-day course designed for individuals who supervise traffic control technicians
and other field personnel. It provides comprehensive training on work zone standards, guidelines, installation and removal
procedures, inspection, documentation and supervisory skills.
The TCS course expands on the concepts and techniques taught in the Traffic Control Technician (TCT), which is a prerequi-
site for this course*. Students are taught how to read and interpret traffic control plans for implementation in the field. Sev-
eral workshops included in this course are designed to provide hands-on experience implementing and modifying temporary
traffic control plans for various real life situations. It also teaches how to recognize, analyze correct and document deficien-
cies. These workshops also provide the opportunity for students to learn to work together as a team and to present solutions
to the class. A further objective of this course is to teach the students skills necessary to become an effective Supervisor so
they can effectively oversee personnel in the field.
ATSSA instructors bring years of practical experience in traffic control to the classroom. They present this 2-day class using
an illustrated PowerPoint presentation covering material from the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control De-
vices (MUTCD). State and local standards and guidelines may also be discussed.
Instructors will spend time with each workshop group providing direction and
advice to the groups as they work on their assignments. Each student receives a
notebook containing a Student Reference Guide and workshop materials, Part 6
of the MUTCD and the ATSSA Quality Guidelines for Traffic Control Devices.
