ABOUT TxLTAP
Municipal and county road agencies are responsible for maintaining over 220,000 miles of roads and 12,000 span-type bridges while building more to meet the transportation needs of the state.
All of this amounts to a tremendous need for sound technical advice from experienced road, bridge/culvert, and traffic safety professionals.
HISTORY
In 1982 the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) launched an initiative with the goal of improving local roadways, known as the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). The nationwide program is modeled after the successful agriculture extension service and is supported through funds provided by FHWA and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The Texas Local Technical Assistance Program (TxLTAP) is managed by the University of Texas Arlington's Public Works Institute.
MISSION
TxLTAP is focused on preserving and enhancing the local road system by delivering quality training and technical assistance to local city/county road agencies in Texas. The training provided through this program will increase the performance of the transportation workers in Texas by ensuring they conduct their duties in a safe, efficient, environmentally sound, and cost effective manner. This program will also allow city/county agencies to maximize benefits from their often limited fiscal and staffing resources.
Through training geared to local government circumstances, customized technical assistance, advice provided at events, and a library of resources, TxLTAP provides relevant and impactful information focused on road and bridge/culvert maintenance, the use of traffic control devices, and other techniques to promote traffic safety.
