Why do California public transportation agency staff get reduced training fees?

Much of our training is delivered in partnership with the California Department of Transportation, Division of Local Assistance under the Cooperative Training Assistance Program. Pavement classes are now offered in partnership with the City and County Pavement Improvement Center, hosted by the University of California Pavement Research Center, and funded by California Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 Through these partnerships, employees of eligible public agencies may a reduced registration fee for many of Tech Transfer's courses. Private industry, out-of-state professionals public and private, as well as Federal employees and California public employees not working for a transportation agency are welcome in our training classes, but are asked to pay the full fee for training.
