About APWA Accreditation

APWA Accreditation provides an opportunity for agencies to earn an accreditation after completion of an evaluation and review process. The evaluation and best practice review process serves to provide a means of formally verifying and recognizing public works agencies for compliance with the recommended practices set forth in the Public Works Management Practices Manual.

It is a voluntary, self-motivated approach to objectively evaluate, verify, and recognize compliance with the recommended management practices.
