The Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) celebrated its 60th anniversary today during an advisory board meeting at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. Indiana LTAP helps street departments, highway departments and local elected officials to better meet the needs of the public by acting as a resource for training, technical assistance and technology transfer.

Local highway and street departments oversee more than 80,000 miles of Indiana roadway in all 92 Indiana counties. Indiana LTAP provides these agencies better access to available resources by offering technical assistance and training for all counties, cities and towns within the state.

Indiana LTAP is part of a nationwide system of technology transfer centers, established by the Federal Highway Administration, that is designed to improve transportation department performance.
