Traffic Engineering Seminars

[gvd]

I am looking for some good seminars near the West Coast dealing with Highway Capacity Analysis and/or Traffic Engineering fundamentals. I need professional development hours to meet my state’s registration renewal requirements. Of course, it would be nice to learn something as well. <br>

For some low-price, high-value classes (especially in Traffic Engineering), check out Transpeed's courses at <A HREF="

Transpeed stands for &quot;Transportation Partnership in Engineering Education Development,&quot; and was formed primarily to help educate and train both new and experienced transportation professionals in Washington state, but the courses are open to anyone. They offer PDU credits for the classes.<br>
<br>
Also keep in mind the conferences and annual meetings held by ITE sections throughout the west, as well as the ITE District 6 annual meeting in San Diego this June. You can usually get some PDU's for attending these types of conferences. Check out <A HREF="

for a good listing of many of these conferences, including both the District 6 meeting in June in San Diego, as well as the specialty conferece in Irvine this April.
