FFY2026 local program technical assistance (ltap)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Wisconsin Department of Transportation a Project Grant of $210,000 on September 18, 2025, under the Highway Training and Education program (CFDA 20.215). This funding supports the FFY2026 Local Program Technical Assistance (LTAP) initiative, which extends through September 30, 2029. The Local Technical Assistance Program provides comprehensive training, education, and technical assistance services to local transportation agencies and tribal governments throughout Wisconsin, enabling them to build workforce capacity and enhance infrastructure management capabilities.

Under this award, WisDOT will develop and deliver training curricula, professional development programming, and technical assistance services designed to strengthen the capabilities of local agencies and tribal governments in transportation planning, infrastructure maintenance, and project management. The LTAP component of CFDA 20.215 operates through established agreements with state departments of transportation, which serve as the primary administrators for selecting and overseeing local assistance activities. This four-year project represents Wisconsin's continued participation in the national LTAP network, a key federal initiative supporting the transportation workforce development objectives of the FHWA.
