TTA BY THE NUMBERS
The UVA Transportation Training Academy was formed in January 2011 by the merger of two training programs: the Virginia Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and
the Virginia Transportation Professional Development Program (TPDP). The TTA was established to provide practical, affordable, relevant training to our customers based on
their needs. Today, TTA offers over 80 unique workshops on transportation-related topics targeted at Virginia state and local government agency employees at all levels.
109 workshops held in this period, 2,477 attendees, 43 instructors
representing 27 organizations, 25 training sites across the state,
1,197 professional contact hours awarded
