The UNH T2 Center supports highway and public works departments in improving the quality and safety of roads and streets across New Hampshire. As the home of the state’s Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), UNH T2 provides practical training, technical assistance, and resources to support local road networks- often a community’s most valuable public asset. UNH T2 also connects local highway teams with knowledgeable partners and peers to strengthen collaboration and support effective roadway maintenance.
The history of LTAP
The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) was established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)in 1982. Today, LTAP operates as a nationwide network of 51 state-based centers across the United States and Puerto Rico, supported through FHWA and state DOT funding.
LTAP centers in each state provide local highway and public works agencies with practical, mission-critical training, resources, and technical assistance to support the maintenance and management of local road networks. These agencies, and the roads they maintain, have historically been underserved. LTAP fills this gap by delivering accessible, low- to no-cost services tailored to the real-world constraints of local highway departments, particularly those with limited staff, funding, and access to technical support.
The New Hampshire LTAP program was created in 1986 at the University of New Hampshire. Support for the program is provided by the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (“NHDOT”). UNH T2 Center is also part of the National Local Technical Assistance Program Association (NLTAPA), a not-for-profit organization representing the LTAP and TTAP member centers across the country and Puerto Rico.
Mission: To support New Hampshire’s local highway and public works professionals by building professional and technical skills, sharing knowledge, and delivering practical training, resources, and technical assistance that strengthen the safety, performance, resilience, and sustainability of local roads and streets.
Vision: A safer, more resilient local road network in New Hampshire, maintained by knowledgeable transportation professionals working in partnership with their communities.
