Partnerships for P2 & Compliance Assistance

-State P2 programs -State regulatory programs (i.e., hazardous waste, underground injection control) -Local technical assistance programs (LTAPs) funded by the Department of Transportation to support local highway departments -Interlocal Risk Management Trusts, the statewide insurance cooperatives that cover many municipalities -State Army National Guard vehicle maintenance facilities -State departments of transportation, where viewed favorably by local departments

NEEAT has found that to reach elusive audiences' small facilities that have little experience with Federal/State government, little familiarity with or sense of urgency about environmental issues, and a tendency to hide rather than step forward - the program needs to rely primarily on the partners who actually know the intended audience on a personal basis and routinely offers assistance to them. In the realm of municipal highway department vehicle maintenance facilities, these are the LTAPs.
