As Iowa's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) center, CTRE is dedicated to helping Iowa's local governments keep up with growing demands on local roads, streets, bridges, and public transportation. The center provides technical and management assistance to Iowa's local transportation officials through a variety of programs.
