CBT: MOT for Incident Responders (http://wbt.dot.state.fl.us/ois/MOTTIRCBT/index.htm)
Another training course offered by the Department is Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) for Incident Responders. This course was developed for the Department by the University of South Florida’s - Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR). This classroom based course has been converted into a computer based training (CBT) course. The classroom based course is periodically offered at the District level and is taught by members of the Department of Transportation. Please note that this training was developed for emergency responders and others that do not need the standard MOT training.
Access the NHI website for information regarding available web-based training.

Video: Your Vest Won't Stop This Bullet (WMV, 79.2 MB)

Please remember that officers, highway workers and other emergency personnel are injured almost every day while working on or near the roadways.
Video: Manage to Survive - TIM for First Responders (WMV, 157.1 MB) This video captures the essence of collaboration and communication among “first responders” and uses the National Unified Goal or NUG for Traffic Incident Management as the foundation for improving the safety of Responders.
