    Overview

    In conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), PennDOT developed Publication 740, the Local Project Delivery Manual (PDF), which provides assistance to local project sponsors, project managers, and interested stakeholders in successfully delivering locally sponsored transportation projects. 

    Publication 740 does not specifically address the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), but many of the same processes will apply.
