Rutgers' Center for Government Services is pleased to offer this 25-hour in-person course, which provides training in the following areas:
* Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; * Statutory requirements; * Speed limits; * Traffic signals; * Traffic surveys; * Site plan reviews; * Traffic management systems; and * Pre-construction meetings.

There are times when the traffic officer must work closely with government officials. This course will familiarize the traffic officer with traffic regulations, mandates, traffic control criteria, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Lessons for this course focus on how traffic officers manage their responsibilities. Students learn how to use the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUCTD), perform traffic surveys for traffic signals and stop & yield signs, post all types of signage, place adult school crossing guards, enhance bicycle safety, establish speed limits, delineate roadway parameters; write traffic ordinances and resolutions; develop written and verbal ​presentations for government officials and planning boards.

Date - March 20, 2025
Location - Rutgers CAIT Computer lab
Times - 8:30 am – 11:00 am


This is an excellent opportunity to refresh your data mining skills before the FY26 grant application deadline. The training will provide a walkthrough of the Numetric platform and its applications. During the 2.5-hour window, attendees will learn about the Crash Query, Network Screening, and Sliding Window Applications with an overview of their features. Users will learn how to filter for crash criteria, customize metrics, and create summarization, comparison, and over-representation reports. The class will walk through specific examples of utilizing crash data for program evaluation and hot-spot identification.  This is an interactive class and active participation is encouraged. The class is limited to 20 persons on a first-come-first-serve basis. The seats fill up quickly, so don't wait. Feel free to share this message throughout your organization or other safety partners you may feel would be interested.  To register for one of the upcoming classes, please email Joseph Weiss at   joseph.weiss@njoag.gov specifying the date of the class you are requesting and include the name, agency, and email addresses of those participating.
