The New Mexico LTAP center provides technical assistance and trainings to support workforce development with the aim of helping local governments and municipalities across New Mexico meet their transportation needs. NM LTAP's mission is to provide technology transfer in the surface transportation arena, and to promote surface transportation and worker safety to all New Mexico public works and transportation agencies. 

The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) technology transfer program that provides technical assistance and training to local transportation departments across the nation. Funding is allocated in the Transportation Bill. Established in 1981 as the Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP), it is the primary way that FHWA helps local transportation agencies learn about maintaining and improving their roads, innovative methods and materials and ways to work smarter.

​

Front Range Community College (FRCC) became the host of the Colorado LTAP Center in the summer of 2020.  

The Arizona Local Technical Assistance Program exists to help Arizona's local public agencies better identify and utilize existing transportation resources at their disposal. AZ LTAP helps locals cope with the ever-growing transportation demands they face by providing access to technical and management materials, delivering on-demand technical assistance and training, and by maintaining a vast network of communication with industry experts.

​

AZ LTAP brings together academic, governmental, and private resources, stakeholders, and information to ensure a safe, effective and efficient transportation system in the state of Arizona. By delivering new concepts and ideas, training, technical assistance and by disseminating research results and new technologies for both transportation providers and users, AZ LTAP is paving the way as a leader in transportation information exchange.
