Florida Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP)

The mission of the Florida LTAP Center is guided by the focus areas as directed by FHWA (Safety, Infrastructure Management, Workforce Development, and Organizational Excellence), and attention to each is vital to the success of the Florida LTAP. The mission of the Florida LTAP Center is to improve the skills and increase knowledge of the local and tribal transportation workforce through training, technical assistance, and technology transfer to foster a safe, efficient, and environmentally-sound surface transportation system. The vision of the Florida LTAP Center is to be recognized as a premier resource in providing training and technical assistance to local agencies and transferring innovative technologies, proven solutions, and reliable service to successfully address and meet the needs of local transportation communities in Florida. The Florida LTAP Center is part of a national initiative to transfer transportation technology through training, technical assistance, and other customer services to local governments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). Since July 2018, oversight of the Florida LTAP has transitioned to the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida and continues to serve local agencies throughout the state by providing state-of-the-art training, technical assistance, and other types of support.
