OSU center for local government technology obligate in FFY 2025 for SFY 2026- statewide

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $210,000 to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation on September 17, 2025, under the Highway Training and Education program (CFDA 20.215) to establish and operate the OSU Center for Local Government Technology. This project grant, obligated in Federal Fiscal Year 2025 for State Fiscal Year 2026, will support transportation workforce development and technical assistance initiatives through September 30, 2029. The center will be based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The OSU Center for Local Government Technology will deliver training, education, and technical assistance services aligned with the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) component of CFDA 20.215. The center will develop and deliver training curricula and professional development programming to support local transportation agencies and governments in building capacity for highway planning, construction, and maintenance operations. These services represent a continuation of Oklahoma's participation in the LTAP network, which provides state departments of transportation with federal funding to support workforce development and technology transfer to local entities across multiple years.
