Abstract:

Since the early 1980s, the national network of Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) centers administered by the Federal Highway Administration has evolved into an effective mechanism to translate and communicate technologies and information to local transportation agencies. Through its evolution, this national LTAP network has employed core principles to effectively transfer information from where it is created to where it is actually used. The technology transfer principles presented in this paper go beyond the more routinely discussed methods or strategies of technology transfer, such as publications, training, and video programs. Instead, the emphasis on the core principles provides transfer agents with the foundation needed to successfully transfer information and technologies to their customer groups; such a foundation is necessary for all technology transfer methods used. The objective of this paper is to illustrate the following core principles of technology transfer through a presentation of their specific application to the Minnesota Technology Transfer (T2) Program: (a) know your customer's needs, (b) be accessible, (c) be practical, (d) create cooperative partnerships, and (e) follow up on implementation.
