RISE Certification

Raising Infrastructure Standards of Excellence

Raising Infrastructure Standards of Excellence (RISE) is a certification program focused on moving the public construction industry into the 21st century.

RISE certification is available to any public body that spends money on public infrastructure or works on public works projects. This includes – but is not limited to – counties, municipalities, school districts, park districts, sanitation districts, or any special unit districts that spend taxpayer dollars on infrastructure.
