Road Scholar Program

What is a Road Scholar Program?

The North Dakota Local Technical Assistance Program has developed a Road Scholar Program for road and highway practitioners in North Dakota. It recognizes each participant's achievement in subjects and topics essential to efficent and effective local road maintenance and management.

Your participation in the Road Scholar program will increase your knowledge and awareness of how and why the road systems must be properly managed. The ideas, knowledge, and skills you gain through LTAP training will help you on the job, strenghten your agency, preserve the roadway infrastructure, and reduce the cost of maintaining the roadways.
