📣 FREE VOLUNTEER FLAGGER TRAINING - APRIL 5TH! 📣
Want to help make community events safer and more affordable? Join us for our Volunteer Flagger Training!
Why It Matters: To get permits from the City of Ashland, state, and county, events require certified traffic flaggers at all intersections along the route. Hiring professional flaggers significantly increases event costs. This FREE training allows volunteers to become certified, helping local events reduce expenses and continue offering affordable participation fees!
• What: Learn essential traffic safety skills for community events
• When: Saturday, April 5, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
• Where: Gresham Room at the Ashland Public Library (410 Siskiyou Blvd)
• Cost: FREE!
• Registration: https://tinyurl.com/Volunteer-Flagger-Training
Please register in advance so we can ensure adequate seating and refreshments!
