The Salt Institute develops winter maintenance training materials in partnership with the National LTAP Association (LTAP is Local Technical Assistance Program). In Canada, the Institute has partnered with the Ontario Good Roads Association and Transportation Association of Canada. With excellent outcomes, to wit:
In the US in 2005 LTAP trainers conducted 1,434 winter maintenance sessions and trained 30,367 snowfighters.
In Canada, OGRA alone trained more than 600 snowfighters in 27 sessions and another 136 attended OGRA workshops to learn about salt management planning.
