Check whether ATSSA's online flagger course is actually accepted before enrolling a crew, since a large list of states reject the online course for state-funded work and require in-person training instead.

Steps
Review ATSSA's State Requirements page (atssa.com/training-certification/state-requirements)
Cross-check against the online-course provider's own disclosed list of states where the ATSSA-curriculum online course is not accepted on state-funded projects
Identify whether the specific project is state-funded, locally funded, or private, since acceptance often differs by funding source even within the same state
For a rejected state, locate that state's own approved in-person or state-specific flagger certification program instead
Confirm the card's issue date and expiration against that state's own validity period, since it can differ from ATSSA's default
Known gotchas
As of this check, the online course is reported as not accepted on state-funded projects in roughly two dozen states including California, Massachusetts, Texas, and Washington — reconfirm the current list before assuming eligibility, since providers update it periodically
'Not accepted on state-funded projects' can still mean the course is accepted for municipal, county, or private work in that same state — the restriction is scoped, not blanket
A provider's self-published acceptance list should be cross-checked against the state DOT's own published requirements page rather than taken at face value
