This class is FULL. The next offering of this class is October 6-8, 2026.
This is a 3-day program with exam. Full attendance is required to receive attendance credit. TCC designation is offered to those who meet the attendance requirement, pass the exam, and provide the below listed prerequisites.
Course Description:
This 3-day in-person event with exam is designed for experienced highway work zone personnel who seek training in work zone traffic control. NJDOT and other agencies require a contractor to assign a supervisory-level employee with requisite onsite experience to act as the Traffic Control Coordinator (TCC) on roadway construction projects.
For those seeking to increase their work zone safety and traffic control knowledge but do not require the TCC designation, it is recommended to attend the Work Zone Safety Awareness workshop instead. Participants who successfully complete this course will be eligible to serve as TCC and shall have the responsibility and authority to implement and maintain all traffic operations for the project. Upon successful completion of the 3-day course and submission of all prerequisite documentation, a digital TCC card will be issued. Those who do not provide prerequisite documentation are only eligible for a course certificate of attendance with applicable PDH credit.
The course covers standard work zone protection as specified in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Sessions on OSHA, NJDOT, and State Police relationships and work zone traffic control liability issues are included.
Class Schedule:
Day 1: The MUTCD (Part VI) / Local Law Enforcement in Work Zones
