In this video, we hear from David Orr, P.E., Ph.D.
’05, BS ’87, Director/Senior Engineer of the Cornell Local Roads Program
(LRP). David explains how the Cornell LRP, in conjunction with the
national Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), works with state and local
governments to improve local roads. Since local agencies are often
short-staffed, these entities need technical assistance and training to
maintain and improve their road networks. Challenges include stretching
maintenance dollars, improving safety, and workforce development.
