Services The National LTAP program is designed to provide technical training for the local communities. When LTAP was first formed in 1981, it was recognized that technical training was one of the highest needs of the transportation community. The AZ LTAP provides a dedicated service to accomplishing technology transfer and making sure to keep abreast of current research transportation knowledge. For current course offered through the AZ LTAP please consult the Training Schedule. One of the AZ LTAP goals is to provide local transportation agencies and public works officials with technical assistance such as advice, guidance, and referral services. Technical assistance is often provided in areas such as road construction, maintenance, and administrative issues. This service is not intended to supplant or compete with traditional engineering or consulting services, but rather to augment them. Typically, these kinds of issues are project related but in the case of new product evaluation, for example they could represent an ongoing or continuous need. The AZ LTAP maintains a video library and a CD Library. Topics range from safety issues, preventative methods, to new technology. The center loans any of the videos listed in the library catalog; and available publications are listed periodically in the quarterly newsletter. Videos and CDs will not be sent out of the State. Newsletter: Our newsletter, the Arizona Milepost, consists of 12-16 pages and is distributed in each of the four seasons. Each Milepost will have a specific focus such as dust control in the summer issue or snow and ice control in the fall issue. Selected additional information will also be provided to make the newsletter both informative and entertaining.
