This fall our LHTAC staff will travel to 12 cities around the state and present a half-day workshop overviewing our programs. This year we’ve added more locations in hopes to reach more jurisdictions. We plan to cover program applications and how to submit a successful package. We have also added a brief presentation on how to properly fill out your Road and Street Financial Report.
Remember: Workshop Attendees Can Earn One (1) Elective Credit Towards Their Road Scholar/Master Program.

The LHTAC T2 Center offers a variety of courses aimed to grow and aid our local road professionals and this September we will launch a new Course Management System to expand and improve that service!
New features have been added to improve the registration process and allow more customizable options for viewing past, present and upcoming courses. During the brief transition time that we switch from the old system to the new one you will be unable to login. But once the new system is up and running you may use your existing T2 login information.
Registration will open in phases based on class location: Northern Idaho courses will open September 22nd, Western Idaho and South Central Idaho will open September 23rd, and Eastern Idaho will open September 24th.
