ROADS SCHOLAR I
The Roads Scholar I program is designed for local and state level transportation personnel to expand their knowledge and improve their skills in roadway maintenance and management techniques. This is a great way for roadway agencies to keep their employees properly trained and educated. Most training is offered for no or minimal fees, and training sessions are offered at various locations throughout the state.
