President's Corner
What a crazy year. If there is one thing that I have learned from these times we are living through, it is to be appreciative for the amazing things in life and to let those you appreciate know it! I appreciate all of you, and I owe you all a HUGE thank you for all you do. I wish that I could come to your centers and meet you individually where you work, see your centers, and inquire about what is working for you.
Celebrating LTAP
40 Years!
Trinette Ballard, FHWA
December 23, 1981 is a historical moment in time for the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). It was the day then President Ronald Reagan signed a bill into law that officially established the Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP).
Great Job!
Congratulations to Regina Hackett from the T2 Center for being honored with the New England APWA Meritorious Service Award!

Roadway Management Conference Was a Big Hit in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware!
The Mid-Atlantic Region (PA, WV, MD, VA, DE) was back in person October 6-8 with the Roadway Management Conference, this time in Rehoboth Beach. The annual conference, optimized to operations and maintenance personnel, was recently held in Gettysburg, PA and then Ellicott City, MD, but our plans for Charlottesville had to go virtual in 2020 and the Virginia team switched gears on a dime for a great success. We rolled the dice for 2021 and caught a break on the weather, the pandemic, and well, everything. It was another great success, according to the many attendees that patted us on the back throughout the conference. Read More Here
