About the URI / NHI Regional Training Program

Introduction:
The mission of the National Highway Institute (NHI) is to provide proactive leadership, expertise, resources, and information to improve the quality of the U.S. highway system in order to enhance economic growth, quality of life, and the environment. The NHI develops and delivers training and education in cooperation with its partners to sustain and expand the transportation community's professional capacity in technologies and strategies thereby accelerating the implementation of the state-of-the-art and continuing to advance the state-of-the-practice.

Aside from formal NHI short courses where CEU's are issued, URITC does offer a limited number of short courses which are not part of the NHI catalog and do not carry CEU credit. Please review course details carefully before signing up.
