LTAP, recently began a series of visits to various regions throughout the Commonwealth. He’s meeting with transportation colleagues across the state,
listening to their issues and helping to identify resources to address their needs.
The TTA offers practical and relevant training opportunities, including newly-
launched online courses such as the upcoming Technical Writing for Transportation Professionals. The TTA also provides training programs ‘on the go’ to bring programs and activities directly to your organization or locality. The TTA’s brand new safety circuit rider (SCR) program assists local agencies with resources and
expertise to identify, diagnose and solve traffic safety problems.
Watch for information about when Jim will be traveling to your location. Or contact
Jim at jwz9m@virginia.edu to schedule a visit. Read on for Jim’s first message from
the TTA highway:
Greetings from the road!
After a successful Advanced Work Zone class in Bristol in June, I spent time visiting
some of our colleagues in the southwest corner of our great state. It was wonderful
to meet with people face-to- face and, of course, it was great to drive through one of
the most beautiful parts of Virginia.
I learned that transportation workers are really interested in finding out more about
the TTA and what it can do to help them do their jobs more effectively. We talked
about extending services into rural areas and ensuring that technical assistance is
available in every corner of the state. The role of Virginia’s LTAP (our Local
Technical Assistance Program) is to make sure that local transportation service
providers have all the tools and skills they need to make our roadways safe. As I
journey to other parts of the state, I’ll be bringing you the most current information
about all of these resources.
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
