Opportunity for a broader and more influential reach
Goals and mission are aligned Both are state-run organizations with
state-serving interests No federal restrictions Ability to move toward a self-sustaining
program, as opposed to operating year-to-year
Course Development Process:
1. “Call for Course” requests are sent out and the responses summarized.
2. An analysis is conducted to make sure there isn’t already web based courses available.
3. Courses are prioritized for consideration 4. Courses are checked against the competency
matrices to make sure course goals are aligned5. The course requests that meet the criteria are
then prioritized.6. Courses are included in a new development
contract Development Goal:
20 hours of web based training developed per year
TC3 Benefits Provide quality, relevant course
materials developed by subject mater experts from around the nation.
Helps State DOTs, FHWA, and others leverage resources and save money
