Key accomplishments of the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and their technology transfer (T2) centers are the subject of this article. LTAP offers training, technical assistance, newsletters, and a multimedia lending library to rural, urban, and American Indian tribal governments. A survey intended to determine the most beneficial aspects of LTAP and T2 centers revealed that cost savings and training were ranked highly. Safety management systems and equipment management systems were the most helpful training topics. LTAP officials agree that the success of the program is due to its unique structure, which allows local T2 centers to tailor their services to local demands. |
