Funding over the past few years has paid for technical assistance and support contracts in the areas of movable bridges, service life design, tunnel design, element-level bridge inspection issues, and load-rating issues for the Committee on Bridges and Structures members. The funding has also been used to provide state training on bridge security, finalize a new LRFD tunnel design publication, and to complete a complete review and reorganization of the concrete section of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Also, each year six to eight technical committees are able to meet face-to-face for mid-year meetings where specifications are updated and research proposals are written.

Only State DOTs can participate in the Technical Service Program.
