Caltrans Division of Local Assistance has released the 2021 Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) and 2021 updates to the Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG). All changes have been documented in Local Programs Procedures 20-01 (LPP 20-01) and can be viewed here.

The LAPM helps California local agencies scope, organize, design, construct, and maintain their public transportation facilities when participating in Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded federal-aid or state funding. The manual describes the processes, procedures, documents, authorizations, approvals, and certifications required in order to receive federal-aid and/or state funds for many types of local transportation projects.

The LAPG provides local project sponsors with a complete description of the federal and state programs available for financing local public transportation-related facilities. Each program is discussed in detail by chapter and addresses such topics as: project eligibility, project selection process, funding levels, key decision makers, significant dates, relevant statutory references, and related publications.
