Professional Resources

While TPCB does not endorse or require participation in any of the programs from the providers listed below, they are being provided as a service to individuals seeking Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for the PTOE, PTP and RSP certifications. This list is in no way exhaustive and PDHs may qualify that may not be listed here. Typical qualifying and non-qualifying activities are also listed.

Personal or professional development programs such as LeadershipITE will only count for up to 10 hours toward the renewal of your PTOE or PTP certification and up to 5PDHs for your RSP1 certification. Most credits/hours must come from traffic operations, planning or road safety depending upon which certification you hold.

For any further questions, please contact Ann O’Neill at certification@tpcb.org
