FDOT TTC/MOT Certification Training
The FDOT Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) / Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Certification Program consists of a series of FDOT-approved courses provided by Metric Engineering. These courses prepare you to earn official certification from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
TTC and MOT are interchangeable terms referring to the planning and management of traffic in and around work zones. This certification—commonly called TTC/MOT Certification—is required for professionals involved in the safe design, supervision, and operation of temporary traffic control throughout Florida’s State Highway System.
Metric Engineering offers the full range of FDOT-approved TTC/MOT certification courses.
What Is TTC/MOT Certification?
The FDOT TTC/MOT Certification is an official credential required for civilian personnel who manage, supervise, or direct traffic in temporary work zones or other special traffic situations. This training ensures individuals are properly qualified to protect public safety and keep traffic moving during planned or emergency events.
Why TTC/MOT Certification Matters
The certification program equips personnel with the knowledge and skills to:
- Protect themselves, coworkers, and the traveling public from hazardous conditions
- Safely manage traffic through and around work zones
- Provide clear, accurate on-site communication
- Select and use the proper traffic control devices and signage
It is important to note that law enforcement officers are not responsible for work zone traffic management. Instead, certified civilian professionals trained under FDOT’s TTC/MOT program carry out these duties.
Certification is required to oversee traffic control during:

Who Needs FDOT TTC/MOT Certification?
FDOT requires all employees, contractors, consultants, and other non-departmental personnel performing work on FDOT projects to complete TTC/MOT training. If your role involves planning, designing, implementing, inspecting, or supervising temporary traffic control within the State Highway System, certification is mandatory.
This requirement does not apply to law enforcement. TTC/MOT training is specifically designed for civilian personnel engaged in traffic control responsibilities.

- Name and credential
- Training provider name and ID number
