The technical assistance strategy of the Office of Statewide Transportation Programs, University of Wisconsin-Extension, is described. The program of university-based technical assistance is presented as part of an overall outreach effort that consists of four basic components: need-based educational programming, information transfer and sharing, training programs, and technical or community assistance. The goals of the technical assistance program are presented along with a brief discussion of the interrelations between technical assistance and the other three program components. Finally, three case studies are presented to demonstrate technical assistance in action. The major theme is that successful technical assistance demands a collaborative approach between university personnel and community representatives in solving transportation problems of importance to local citizens.
