ABOUT THE TRIBAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) is a training and technology transfer resource for Native American tribes in the United States. The program is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), both of which are agencies of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI).
TTAP CENTERS ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST TRIBAL NATIONS WITH TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
In 1993, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recognized a need to expand the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) to serve tribal nations. LTAP centers were originally established by the FHWA in 1982 to enable local government units to improve their transportation networks.
In the same way that the local LTAP centers assist state, county, and city governments, the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) centers provide information about the latest technological ideas and improvements related to road and bridge maintenance, repair, construction, and other issues.
There are seven (7) TTAP centers serving Indian Country:
- Alaska TTAP
- California/Nevada TTAP
- Colorado TTAP
- Michigan TTAP
- Northern Plains TTAP
- Northwest TTAP
- Oklahoma TTAP
For more information, go to TTAP Programs where you can find links to each one of the TTAP centers.
