Local Public Agencies Training and Technical Assistance Needs Assessment

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is charged with implementing a local technical assistance program (LTAP) under 23 U.S.C. § 504 (b). Congress recognized that training and technical assistance for local public agencies (LPA) managing transportation assets was necessary and created the Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP). FHWA began reassessing the current program to better meet the needs of the local public agencies, ensure the LTAP structure, operations and services align with emerging agency priorities and expand the local agency customer base. This is a one-time voluntary collection. The respondents are Local Public Agency Public Works Directors and Road Superintendents. An executive summary of the information collection will be published as supporting information in the program’s strategic plan. The SDOT and transportation stakeholders will receive this information. It is estimated that the strategic plan will be published in the Spring of 2018.
