Build a Better Mousetrap 2023
It's that time of year again!
CALTAP is relaunching "Build a Better Mousetrap" (BABM) in March 2023. BABM is a statewide competition recognizing local agencies who are using innovation to solve transportation-related problems and improve job safety and efficiency while saving costs. If you’ve devised a new way to tackle a work-related challenge, we’d like to hear about it!
Competition winners, selected by our industry panel, receive an opportunity to present at the next Caltrans Innovation Expo, move forward to the National BABM Competition, and receive a year’s worth of free LTAP training.
Check-out last year's winners, we'll be announcing contest deadlines and the application process shortly.
