The accreditation process consists of five major steps which include self-assessment of agency practices using APWA standards, formal application to the accreditation program, operational improvements to achieve compliance, independent on-site evaluation by APWA reviewers, and final review and accreditation approval by the APWA Accreditation Council.

The City's Public Works Department plays a crucial role in overseeing roadway maintenance, traffic engineering, transit operations, stormwater infrastructure and capital improvement projects that support the community's transportation network and overall quality of life.
