BACKGROUND: |
An audit is performed to verify that the organization is doing what they planned to do in accordance with a documented management plan, or nationally accepted state-of-the-practice. The purpose of this course is to provide the traffic engineering manager with an overview of the traffic signal system audit process, which is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a traffic signal system and associated programs (management, design, operations and maintenance). General information will be provided on the types of questions that may be asked, and the records and information that will be reviewed by the audit team, to assist in the improvement of an agency’s management of their traffic signal systems, and associated programs.

| LEARNING OBJECTIVES: |
At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to:
1) Identify the goals, benefits, and objectives of a traffic signal system audit
2) Identify key steps in the audit process
3) Identify the key items that should be considered during an audit
4) How to structure a traffic signal system audit for your agency
