Local Assistance Training
The California LTAP training catalog represents an aggregation of course offerings from a variety of institutions established to fulfill the training needs of surface transportation professionals throughout the state. This catalog serves as a central database of regulatory, compliance, planning, engineering, and technical training programs that specifically target the local public agency audience.
Course titles are organized below based on topic, with each topic opening to a range of current course titles offered now or in the near future. Each title links to a separate training page that presents a comprehensive overview of the course itself, including when it’s next scheduled and how to register.
Note that some of the courses listed may be hosted outside the California LTAP network of training providers, and as such are subject to different fee structures, registration requirements, and payment processing terms. Where known, all of these details are laid out on each training page. Should you have any questions, please contact the host institution or the LTAP Center for support.
