Basic Residential Relocation Under the Uniform Act (Course # 141055)
Transportation professionals will develop a deeper appreciation for the Uniform Act and its implementing regulations to ensure that persons displaced as a result of Federal or federally assisted projects do no suffer disproportionate injuries as a result, and are treated fairly, consistently, equitably. Course participants will engage in interesting case studies that prompt diligent application of the law and regulations; and enable participants to advance their knowledge, skills, and abilities to hone relocation program expertise for in-practice application.
Representatives from Federal Uniform Act Agencies, State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), Local Public Agencies (LPAs), FHWA personnel, and other interested persons. Specifically, this course is designed for relocation program personnel providing relocation assistance to residential occupants that are being displaced by a Federal-aid project, to develop their skill set and build their proficiency in understanding the Uniform Act Relocation Program regulatory requirements. No prerequisite is required for participants; however, a basic knowledge of real estate leasing and purchase would be helpful.

Practical Applications in Federal-Aid Highway Program Appraisals (Course # 141054)
This course helps improve conformity with appraisal requirements of the Uniform Act and implementing requirements of 49 CFR Part 24. Concepts presented NHI-141053 Foundations of Federal-Aid Highway Program Appraisals for specific eminent domain situations are applied to a series of real-world examples. Nuances and State-specific differences related to the application of appraisal concepts and Uniform Act requirements are addressed.
Participants explore examples of problems handled differently than typical mortgage appraisal assignments. The examples demonstrate to appraisers new to Federal-aid programs that their clients have regulatory requirements to not only determine market value of a property, but to also determine an estimate of compensation due a property owner given the unique interpretation of laws in the jurisdiction the appraiser is practicing.
The course is broken into three WCT sessions averaging two hours and 10 minutes each. At the end of each session, participants will complete a web-based, multiple-choice assessment to measure achievement of the learning outcomes. This course has been certified by the International Distance Education Certification Center (IDECC).
