California Local Assistance Survey

Caltrans DLA, CALTAP, and FHWA need your feedback to determine how we can better support the needs of our local and tribal road agencies, and to set priorities for training and technical assistance throughout the state.

• Is there training you need but can't find?
• Missing the Federal Aid Series or Resident Engineers Academy?
• Need a Local Road Safety Plan to capture SS4A money?

It's high time you tell us what you think!
