Pursuant to 13.106-1(b), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to negotiate a single source purchase order with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to procure local agencies and tribal transportation practitioner access to a library of over 200 on-line/web-based training modules covering a variety of topics in the areas of construction, maintenance, and materials. AASHTO manages a technical service program, the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TC3), that focuses on developing training products for technical staff in the areas of construction, maintenance, and materials. TC3 has a library of 200 on-line training modules covering a variety of topics. As a national resource, TC3 helps states, local government, tribal transportation practitioners and industry save money at a critical time of infrastructure investment through course development, web-based trainings, information, and resource sharing that is available at substantially reduced cost. All 50 state DOTs have used the TC3 web-based training resources. AASHTO TC3 develops and maintains a national curriculum for various transportation disciplines. This program also identifies training and certification requirements and leverages best practices across the country to determine how to best access and cost-effectively provide training. The TC3 training was developed to support training weaknesses identified by State DOTs for their transportation operation, maintenance and construction staff in several categories, such as Pavements and Materials, Geotechnical, Construction and Maintenance, Highway Safety, and Site and Personal Safety. AASHTO TC3 works with a unique, broad list of partners to assist in the education of the highway technical workforce, identify training needs and develop responsive courses. FHWA’s Local and Tribal Technical Assistance Program (LTAP/TTAP) is the only federally mandated program to provide professional development, training and technical assistance to local agencies and tribal governments with road management responsibility.
