About the research

The Federal Highway Administration has provided funding to the state Local Technical Assistance Programs (LTAPs) to assist, as they are able, in the provision of training and/or technical assistance in the area of construction project environmental reviews. The funds could be used for a variety of activities (to be defined in the LTAP application) that facilitate the environmental review process and build capacity to complete the reviews. Iowa LTAP, in collaboration with its partners, submitted an application that included the development and offering of a webinar, two National Highway Institute courses, an interactive form to help track activities, and a flipbook or brochure on mitigation measures connected to threatened and endangered species in Iowa.
