March 2021 Quarterly Progress Report

The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) provides an important linkage between Local Highway Jurisdictions (LHJs) and the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) in the utilization of Federal-aid highway funds available to the LHJs in Idaho. These quarterly progress reports include the status listing of current and upcoming LHTAC projects for each district.

ITD’s Guidance on Flagger Certifications and Traffic Control Supervisors

As of April 1, 2021 only flaggers certified via in-person training are allowed to work on projects. However, flaggers certified through an ATSSA or Evergreen Safety Council online course prior to April 1, 2021 may continue to be allowed on projects under the certain conditions.

T2 Center Road Scholars and Masters

With COVID-19 travel and gathering restrictions, we have postponed in-person Road Scholar and Road Master Presentations. We are still working to recognize those who have completed the Road Scholar and Road Master requirements.  

To keep the waitlist backlog from growing, we have started contacting local agencies about mailing their awards. LHTAC staff is contacting the agency to indicate their preference for mailing awards or waiting for an in-person presentation (likely in the Summer of 2021). If they prefer their awards mailed a letter is sent to both the employee supervisor and the agency’s elected officials (Mayor or Commissioners).
