The publication details accomplishments and successes of the 55 Technology Transfer Centers nationally that were established under the Local Assistance Program (LTAP). The LTAP serves as the primary channel through which innovative transportation technology is prepared and delivered to both urban and rural local communities in the United States and to American Indian tribal governments. The objective of LTAP is to improve roads and bridges and increase transportation safety awareness by increasing transportation expertise at the local and tribal level, and promoting the effective use of private, local, and State resources for transportation. The LTAP approach is a program of training and technical assistance geared to local and tribal engineers, technicians, and government officials. To respond to the increasing demand for new highway technology in rural and urban areas, special technical products have been developed and assistance provided specifically structured for local highway agencies. These products and assistance are available through the nationwide network of Technology Transfer Centers.
