What local resources are available to assist my community in planning and developing or expanding public transit services?
State departments of transportation, local councils of government, private transportation companies, economic and community development corporations, and regional planning organizations can assist rural communities undertaking transit planning projects. Also, individual state Rural Transit Assistance Programs (RTAPs) provide workshops, on-site training, educational materials, and peer assistance. Contact your state’s department of transportation for information on your individual state RTAP resources. In addition the Community Transportation Association of America offers a variety of technical assistance for communities looking to initiate and/or expand transportation services and programs that link people to jobs, medical care and other destinations necessary for quality of life.
