Steps
Download MDOT's Work Zone Safety and Mobility Manual and the 'Traffic Regulator's Instruction Manual' (June 2010 Edition) PDFs from michigan.gov/mdot
Confirm MDOT's minimum training baseline: viewing the video 'How to Safely Regulate Traffic in Michigan' and reading the current Traffic Regulator's Instruction Manual
Check whether the specific contract requires the enhanced MMTC (Michigan Temporary Traffic Control) certification, which is designed to exceed MDOT's stated minimum
Verify the card renewal interval — Michigan flagger/traffic-regulator cards are reported to require renewal every 4 years
Confirm training was completed within 12 months of performing traffic-regulating operations, per MDOT's stated recency requirement
Known gotchas
MDOT's baseline requirement (video plus manual) is lower than what many contracts actually specify (MMTC certification) — check the specific project spec before assuming the minimum applies
The '12 months before performing operations' recency rule means a 4-year-valid card can still be non-compliant if the underlying training is stale by MDOT's recency standard — verify both dates independently
The Michigan Traffic Regulator's Instruction Manual PDF found is dated June 2010 — confirm no newer edition has superseded it before citing page numbers
