What We Do?

Kansas Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), one of 58 centers across the United States, promotes the national LTAP mission of fostering a safe, efficient, environmentally sound transportation system by improving skills and knowledge of local transportation providers through training, technical assistance and technology transfer.

Kansas LTAP provides services to local public works agencies and their employees throughout Kansas. In operation since 1983, Kansas LTAP offers a variety of services, including newsletters, video and publication lending library, training and technical assistance.

The Kansas LTAP receives funding from our partners at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).
