Roadway maintenance does not stop at the edge of the pavement. How the roadside is maintained can impact the quality of the road itself as well as the safety of those who use it. This course has been developed for supervisors who maintain urban and rural roadsides. It focuses on the importance and complexities of maintenance operations including vegetation control, safety concerns, drainage and trees. Policy and procedure recommendations for safe roadside maintenance will also be discussed.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for those who are responsible for maintaining urban and rural roadsides.

Public Works Directors, Highway Superintendents, Foremen and Crew Leaders are encouraged to attend.
