Qualification Core Training Program & Purpose
The LPA Qualification Program has been developed to help Local Public Agencies successfully navigate the policies, procedures and practices of both the LDOTD Highway Program, and the Federal-Aid Highway Program. LDOTD wants to ensure that Local Public Agencies (Parishes, Municipalities, Towns, etc.) can access the benefits and fully understand the requirements of using state and federal transportation funds for their transportation projects. LPAs must have sufficient knowledge of state and federal regulations to take full advantage of available funding and resources. All LPA project sponsors and their consultants will be required to take the core training to be qualified to participate in the state and federal programs on future transportation projects.
