Has your municipality recently built an innovative gadget or come up with a better way to do a job? If so, it’s not too late to participate in the 2025 Build a Better Mousetrap Innovation Challenge! This award recognizes solutions that employees have designed, built, or adapted that innovate maintenance, equipment, or processes to better serve Pennsylvania travelers.   

LTAP is looking for innovations from the development of tools and equipment to modifications to processes that increase safety, reduce costs, or improve efficiency or the quality of transportation. Technological innovations and unique use of new tools, such as drones, apps, computers, smartphones, and tablets are welcome.
