Basic Temporary Traffic Control (BTTC) Certification - SHA Rate

Basic Temporary Traffic Control Certification (BTTC)

To qualify for the SHA rate, you must be a SHA employee (not consulting for SHA).  If you are not a SHA employee please register at the industry rate.

The Basic Temporary Traffic Control Certification (BTTC) provides an entry level overview of Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) and Work Zone Safety.  This course is intended for newly hired people whose main role/responsibility will be roadway construction, maintenance, and other field operations.  While this is not mandatory pre-requisite for the Temporary Traffic Control Manager (TTCM) Course, it is expected to be a required course starting at some point in 2027.

The BTTC is designed to give individuals who are new to temporary traffic control a basic understanding of how work zones are set up, how they function, and the hazards associated with different types of work zones and activities. Recognizing and controlling these hazards is essential to protecting both workers and road users. The course introduces the standards, requirements, and best practices needed to safely work in and around temporary traffic control operations.
