Prerequisites

Before requesting LRE training, each user must have a current FDOT UserID. (Contact your District's OIS/Computer Security office to obtain this UserID.) Prior to the training class, the District LRE Coordinator must enter your UserID into the system's "User Access" file. This will authorize you to run the programs in the training course, and for future applications. Please do not request training until your UserID has been established. Since this is a hands-on class, you will not be able to follow along unless you have access to the program. Sharing UserIDs is a violation of FDOT policies.

Participants should have a working knowledge of pay items and basic roadway design concepts.
