Oregon Flagger Certification Training

Motor Carrier Requirements

There are many locations and situations where motor carriers are requirement by permit to use certified flaggers to stop traffic so a truck with an overwidth and/or overheight load can safely pass. Whenever certified flaggers are a requirement of a permit, the Certified Flagger Attachment must accompany the permit.
Certified Flagger Requirements
To work as a flagger on Oregon State highways you must have training and possess one of the following:
  • A valid Oregon Certified Flagger card.
  • A valid Certified Flagger card from the state transportation departments of Montana, Washington or Idaho.
    o This is available through an interstate reciprocity agreement.
    o The card is valid for three years from the date issued.

Flagger Certification Training

ODOT has authorized the Chemeketa Community College Center for Business and Industry as the exclusive administrator of flagger curriculum, materials and flagger trainer and flagger certification cards.
Chemeketa Community College:
  • Provides a four-hour flagger training class.
  • Maintains a list of certified private flagging trainers.
