WTTAP Pothole Patching and Repair (Virtual)

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Thank you for your interest in Western TTAP’s Pothole Patching and Repair. Western TTAP’s primary service audience consists of federally recognized Tribes and their employees within the western United States. While we welcome participation from all interested individuals and organizations, Tribal governments and Tribal employees receive priority enrollment for all trainings.

To support our mission of serving Tribal communities, all prospective participants—Tribal and non-Tribal—must first join the course waitlist. Upon receipt of your waitlist submission, staff will review the information provided. Non-Tribal applicants will remain on the waitlist until priority registration for Tribal participants has been completed.

Approximately one week prior to the training date, Western TTAP will contact individuals on the waitlist to offer any remaining available seats. Once you receive confirmation of placement in the course, you will have 24 hours to submit payment for the number of seats originally requested. Additional seats may not be added at that time. Failure to remit payment within the 24-hour window will result in the seat(s) being offered to the next individual or agency on the waitlist, in the order requests were received.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to equitably fulfill our service mission.
