Title: National Network for Technology Transfer to Local Agencies: The Local and Tribal Technical Assistance Programs
Accession Number: 01646191
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Through years of disseminating research to transportation agencies, the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) have developed useful technology transfer communication strategies to transform ideas into practice at the local and tribal levels. The LTAP–TTAP network comprises 58 centers: one in each state, one in Puerto Rico, and seven regional centers serving tribal governments. Each center provides an average of more than 100 workshops and trains more than 3,000 people annually—these totals do not include the local agency personnel also reached through the delivery of technical assistance or information distribution. This article highlights LTAP-TTAP strategies including: employing client-specific technology transfer methodologies; promoting the Federal Highway Administration's Every Day Counts (EDC) program information; communicating local best practices through the Build a Better Mousetrap National Competition; and sharing research outcomes by hosting research showcases.
