T2 Center
The LHTAC T2 Center is part of a national program known as the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). We provide training and technical assistance to meet the needs of highway jurisdictions in Idaho.
The Local Highway Jurisdictions (LHJ) in Idaho maintain over 34,000 miles of the transportation system in Idaho. The LHTAC T2 Center has been addressing the technical support and training needs of LHJs since 1986. Our goal is to foster a safe, efficient, and environmentally sound surface transportation system by improving skills and increasing knowledge of the transportation workforce and decision-makers. Our program promotes best practices in an efficient and effective manner through strong partnerships and communications.

Leadership Development Program
The LHTAC Council and T2 Advisory Board have moved forward with developing a new training program within the T2 Center. The Leadership Development Program is aimed at emerging leaders within the local agencies. These leaders can be at any level from road crewman, to clerks, to crew chiefs to supervisors. The program does not have prerequisites from the other two T2 Programs – Road Scholar and Road Master; it is a standalone program.
The classes in the Leadership Development Program can be found on the schedule titled:
- Transition to Leadership – Guiding a Highway Agency
- Mastering Management – A Practical Approach
- Leadership Communication
- Organization of a Local Highway Agency
- Team Communication and Team Building
- Leading Across Generations
It is recommended that students take the Transition to Leadership course first, however, you can take them in any order if desired.
