Accession Number: 00648231
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: In 1983, ten Technology Transfer Centers were established in various states by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under what is now known as the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). Ten years later there are 55 technology transfer (T2) centers, serving all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, and an additional four centers serving the Native-American populations. In addition, with the assistance of the FHWA, new T2 centers are being formed in Europe and Latin America. This paper describes a few of the successes experienced by the T2 Centers, and offers some insight into why they are effective. It covers some of the new directions that are being taken by the T2 centers due to the 1991 ISTEA legislation. It also is intended to stimulate some discussion regarding a major problem that is faced by all technology transfer providers.
