Landis Evans + Partners, formerly Sprinkle Consulting, worked in close partnership with CDOT staff to develop this first phase guideline for the new statewide standard for crossing guard training. This training manual builds upon the prior Colorado state training, expanding it to incorporate effective new best practices from programs across the United States. This new manual outlines in-class and in-field training as well as a rigorous proficiency review process. It establishes crossing procedures for a variety of traffic and intersection geometries throughout the state to ensure safety for all of Colorado’s school children.
