Offered by the Pennsylvania Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), the Roads
Scholar Program provides an opportunity for municipal employees to be trained by
LTAP’s professional team in the latest road-related technologies and innovations.
The program provides a professional certification to municipal employees and officials
who attend a certain number of courses within a three-year period.
Courses are conducted at convenient locations throughout the Commonwealth. During
these courses, participants are educated on up-to-date maintenance and safety
topics taught by LTAP’s technical experts. You can track your progress by logging
in to your account, using the View My Schedule feature. Just clear out the start
date and click on the search button. Check the current class offerings for more information.
Note: LTAP encourages you to take any Roads Scholar courses for professional development,
even if you are not working toward an LTAP Roads Scholar certificate.
Who can participate?
The Roads Scholar Program is designed for all municipal employees and officials
responsible for road maintenance and safety in their community. Roadmasters, road
superintendents, road crews, public works personnel, managers, and elected officials
will learn from each workshop and become an even more valuable member of their municipal
team as a result of this knowledge. Anyone earning a Roads Scholar certification
receives recognition by their managers and peers as authorities in their field.
