Missouri Local Training & Resource Center (MLTRC) is located on the Missouri S&T campus in Rolla, Missouri and is home to the MO-LTAP, MO-RTAP, and Community Resilience Workforce Development Program. We provide workforce and professional development training to local governments, municipalities, and organizations across the state. Missouri Local Technical Assistance Program (Missouri LTAP) operates on funding provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Missouri LTAP is recognized throughout the state for its training, resources, and programs that it provides to local agencies. These agencies include county road and bridge departments, city public works departments and various other local agencies tasked with constructing and maintaining infrastructure. Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP) was initiated in 1986 by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to provide resources, training, and technical assistance to rural transit providers. The Missouri RTAP has been at Missouri S&T since April 2012, and helps to promoting safe and effective operations of the rural transit system to effectively utilize public and private resources. We also manage the reimbursement to rural transit providers through the Scholarship Reimbursement Program. Missouri Community Resilience Workforce Development Program is the newest program to join MLTRC and was initiated by a grant through the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation out of Kansas City, Missouri. This program is focused on developing training aimed at a variety of demographics to support an inclusive workforce with opportunities for career advancement, which includes pathways to entrepreneurship and business development in underserved communities. The Community Resilience Workforce Development Program will provide a network to local officials, community leaders, investment advocates, businesses, local workforce, and area households.
