This summer, the Minnesota Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), a program within CTS, is bringing motor-grader training to more than 125 operators in locations across the state. The hands-on workshops include classroom and field sessions that teach city and county staff about proper gravel road maintenance using motor graders.
Since its establishment in 1992, Minnesota LTAP has worked to improve the skills and knowledge of local transportation agency staff through training, technical assistance, and technology transfer.
In its first year, the program held 10 workshops in 15 Minnesota cities. Since then, Minnesota LTAP’s course catalog has expanded to include more than 30 in-person workshops, online courses, and customized trainings. In the past year, more than 8,370 local agency staff have participated in these LTAP training opportunities.
