Our Traffic Signal Seminar Series will be held in Spencer this year. They will be of interest to engineers, technicians and contractors responsible for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of traffic signals and traffic safety related systems.
There is no charge for the training and course materials. A light lunch will be served daily. However, everyone is responsible for their own lodging and transportation, etc. If you are an engineer or IMSA member, your time at these seminars may count towards your Professional Development.
We look forward to seeing you!
