Welcome to the CARS blog!
This will be WisDOT’s interactive blog to help keep everyone in the loop. Bookmark it now!
We'll try to address a bunch of issues with this blog post. If you have a question about CARS, please leave a comment.
As of today (Sept 22), we have had 8 training sessions in CARS. We have trained about 100 WisDOT employees on the use of CARS, as well as all of our Management Consultants.
Our training consists of hands-on training on navigation within the program, approving invoices, and creating evaluations. Many of the people in training have never used CARS. After some initial comments on the training, I am trying to make sure our training is slow enough to make sure everyone can follow along.
The training sessions are very helpful for us to help understand the particular enhancements that WisDOT employees and consultants think would benefit the CARS application.
This upcoming week, we have WisDOT Training on Sept 25, followed by our first consultant training on Sept 26 and Sept 30. In all, we have 81 people to train in the next 8 days in CARS.
One question that many of you have had is, "when is the time to use CARS?" The time to use CARS is whenever the WisDOT project manager and the consultant have had training in the system. All invoices and evaluations will need to be processed in CARS by March 1, 2015 to have all evaluations and invoicing done in CARS.
Here is a list of firms that have had training, or will in this upcoming week:
