For VDOT employees only: VA LTAP workshop registration fees and related expenses for all VDOT employees will be paid from the VDOT Learning Center budget. VA LTAP will direct bill the VDOT Learning Center for workshop registration fees. However, registrants need to contact their District Training Office or the VDOT Learning Center (Central Office employees) for instructions on how to seek reimbursement for travel expenses. Please also note it is not sufficient to enroll in a VA LTAP workshop through the VDOT Virtual University. VDOT registrants MUST also complete and submit a VA LTAP registration form to the VA LTAP office.
Due to current travel restrictions, VDOT employees are strongly encouraged to attend VA LTAP workshops on a day trip basis. Overnight travel requires permission from your District Administrator or Chief – and in some cases higher levels of authority. If you require overnight lodging to attend a VA LTAP workshop, consult with your supervisor, District Training Manager, or VDOT Learning Center on travel approval procedures.
Provided space is available, registrations will be accepted up to and including 3 days ahead of each workshop.
Please call Jane Carlson, VA LTAP Program Manager, at 434-982-2897 if you have any questions regarding this announcement.
