What is California LTAP?
The Local Technical Assistance Program, or LTAP, is a project described in the Federal Transportation Act and managed by the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). LTAP began as RTAP, the rural transportation assistance program, in 1983. It has also sometimes called T2, or T-squared, program (for “technology transfer”). Today there is an LTAP center in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. In 1992 Congress also established Tribal Technical Assistance Programs (TTAPs) with support from both US DOT and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Tech Transfer Program administers the California-LTAP Center, which was one of the first LTAPs established in the United States.
