As part of DOTD's on-going commitment to high quality traffic engineering reports, a traffic engineering course must be taken by traffic engineering PEs and EIs in order to be eligible to work on DOTD projects. When traffic is included as a discipline on which past performance is evaluated, for consultants performing traffic engineering services ) i.e., traffic analysis throughout all DOTD project stages and/or QC of traffic analysis), appropriate personnel must successfully complete the three (3) modules of the Traffic Engineering Process and Report Course offered by Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC). Individuals must be registered for this course, and/or completed, no later than the time the proposal is submitted. Copies of registration and/or training certificates are to be included in Section 20 of the proposal.  It will be the prime consultant's responsibility to ensure their staff and sub-consultants complete the training.
