Technology and Innovation Implementation

While knowledge sharing can occur through virtually any form, Technology Transfer can be an effective mechanism for motivating and facilitating knowledge sharing and accelerating innovative processes. Technical Assistance is an integral function of Colorado LTAP as we bring new ideas and techniques to local transportation agencies.

Special Projects & Funding Support
With this service offering, Colorado LTAP partners with local agencies to provide support in identifying projects and funding streams (including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL or IIJA)) that will benefit Colorado's local agencies. The Special Projects Coordinator will provide support with the funding application process, planning, implementation, program reporting and closing out the project. Please feel free to reach out if you are not sure how to get started or need more information.

Safety Circuit Rider
Colorado Safety Circuit Rider partners with local agencies to reduce accidents on Colorado roadways.  Roadway departures and intersection crashes are common, but there are a number of low cost countermeasures that can be implemented to reduce those occurrences.  There is also Federal funding available for these projects.  Please feel free to reach out if you are not sure how to get started, have hit a sticking point with safety on your roads or need more information.

Equipment Loan Program
Data helps roadway managers make informed decisions when prioritizing projects and deciding on the type and level of work that should be done. Collecting and analyzing data can help your agency prioritize safety, maintenance, and development needs. Having a better understanding of what is currently occurring is beneficial for future planning and helps provide improved safety and better service to motorists and pedestrians in your area. Local agencies are encouraged to take advantage of the tools available in the Equipment Loan Program as a way of saving money versus purchasing equipment that may only be needed for a short time.

Lending Library
Colorado LTAP has a small but comprehensive, in-house library of reference materials including videos, books, reference materials, reports and research documents. All media in the LTAP library is available to agencies for checkout for a two-week period, free-of-charge.

Project Guidelines and How To Guides
As Colorado LTAP expands its equipment loan program, it will establish a toolbox of resources for how to successfully use and implement the different technologies to improve your system processes. Resources are currently available for the following processes.

  • Determining the Safe Speed for Curves
  • Providing Proper Stopping Sight at Distance Curves
  • Restriping Parking Spaces
