TAPCO Open House/Training Showcase a Tremendous Success

TAPCO (Traffic & Parking Control Co., Inc.) recently celebrated their new home at 5100 W. Brown Deer Rd. with a Training  Showcase and Open House. The festivities began last Thursday July, 9th with a ribbon cutting ceremony, attended by Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive and Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger Brown along with many customers, vendors and friends. TAPCO manufactures and distributes thousands of traffic and parking control products including their patented BlinkerSigns and often trains municipal, DOT and contractor employees in the use of new and sophisticated products now being used in the industry. The training showcase had seminars running from 8:00am through 3:00pm each day and all sessions were recorded for later use and review. With many presenters that included Ernest “Mr. MUTCD” Huckaby discussing recent FHWA actions along with upcoming regulations for breakaway sign supports the entire event was a terrific success.

Seminar topics included:

Retroreflectivity (view video), Video Detection (view video), Energy Saving Light Fixtures (view video), Battery Back-Up for Signals, Parking & Security Systems (view video), Solar Powered & Wireless Operated Traffic Devices (view video), New Breakaway Standards (view video), Video Analysis, Wireless Detection, TAPCO’s new SignIt software, LED Lighting Options, Stimulus Package and how it effects WIS DOT roads, Microwave Detection, Parking Access & Revenue Control In The Future.

 TAPCO would like to thank all of the presenters for helping to make this a great event. Due to tremendous response, TAPCO intends to continue the tradition of training current and future users in this new world of sophisticated traffic and parking control systems.
