CTAP workshops

The Circuit Training and Assistance Program (CTAP) uses a fully-equipped van to provide on-site technical assistance and training. Current CTAP training courses and special presentations are:

  • Asphalt Pavement Maintenance
  • Culvert Installation and Maintenance
  • Dust Control on Unpaved Roads
  • Gravel Road Maintenance
  • Roadside Vegetation Management and Erosion Control
  • Snow and Ice Control
  • Work-Zone and Flagger Safety

CTAP workshops are informal and usually hands-on—in fact, many are held in or adjacent to maintenance facilities. Sites with easy access for the van are preferred. CTAP fees are $250.00 for 8 to 10 participants and $350.00 for 11 to 40 participants. The fees are for a two- to four-hour CTAP workshop.

To schedule classes, call the CTAP instructor, Kathy Schaefer, at 651-282-2160, or e-mail Kathleen.Schaefer@dot.state.mn.us.
