WHY CERTIFICATION?

➤ Transportation construction projects and contracting procedures are

growing increasingly complex.

➤ Transportation construction executives are responsible for safety of both

construction workers and traveling public.

➤ Having competent professionals who understand the challenges of

complex transportation project sites is a “win-win” for the company and the public.
