Training and qualification

The Local Government Programs section helps train local governments, consultants and TxDOT employees in administering a locally let project.

Description

All local entities are required to have an individual qualified by TxDOT in Local Government Project Procedures (LGPP) assigned to each project being performed through an Advanced Funding Agreement. Through its LGPP Qualification Program, TxDOT offers a 12-hour course (virtual or in-person) that trains and qualifies individuals to work on these projects. TxDOT requires all "qualified" persons to successfully complete the LGPP qualification course at least once every three years.

LGP101 participants who are local to the Austin, El Paso, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Pharr districts are strongly encouraged to take the in-person sessions. Virtual classes are reserved for learners in the rural districts and TxDOT staff, and if there are spots available, they will be on a first-come, first-served basis. There are usually very long waitlists for virtual classes. NOTE: Enrollments are NOT guaranteed.
