FY2026 local technical assistance program (LTAP)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $144,000 to the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) on June 2, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205) to support the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). Through this formula grant, funds will be directed to training and technology transfer initiatives administered in partnership with the Center for Transportation at the University of Delaware. The program serves state and local government agencies throughout Delaware that maintain infrastructure responsibilities, enhancing their technical capacity to manage and improve the state's multimodal transportation system.

The LTAP provides critical professional development and knowledge-transfer services that strengthen the capabilities of Delaware's transportation workforce and local agencies responsible for infrastructure management. By leveraging the University of Delaware's center as the administrative hub, this award supports workforce development and technology adoption across Delaware's three counties, contributing to improved transportation planning, project delivery, and operational practices among state and local transportation professionals.
