| Horses
and buggies traveling dirt roads. Model Ts traveling gravel roads. Today, this
all seems like part of a novel, but this fiction is in fact truth. Transportation
technology is constantly evolving, changing the roads we travel and the modes of transportation we
use. Keeping individuals and agencies at the local level informed and educated
about these changes to improve local transportation is one of the main goals of
the WV Local Technical Assistance Program, also known as LTAP.
While
the LTAP Center has not been around as long as the Model T, we have been providing
technical assistance to West Virginia since 1984. In that time,
we have taught numerous Roads Scholars and helped countless communities with their
transportation problems. Our recent 20-Year Anniversary only served as a reminder
of the things we have accomplished and reinforced the goals we have to serve the
state of West Virginia in solving transportation and infrastructure related issues. |
