This section of the Transit Manager’s Toolkit discusses the issues and complexities that come with managing or engaging with a Tribal transit agency and the unique transit needs of Tribal communities. Amy Hill, Transportation Coordinator, Muscogee Nation, and National RTAP staff provided an introduction to the Toolkit content, including guidance, case studies, regulations, funding resources, and more.
This webinar is intended for the transit industry as well as rural development stakeholders to learn about rural grants and technical assistance programs from the USDA and FTA and how to be effective partners.
In this webinar, Dee Phan and Peter Clark of FTA provided an overview of FTA’s policies on early or advanced acquisition of real property for instances where federal funds are anticipated to be used for the purchase and relocation of any displacees or development of the subject property.

" You go above and beyond and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate it so much and always enjoy my time with you. The presentations give me so much to bring back to my agency and my subrecipients. "
" I always used the CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) method to develop training materials until I discovered RTAP. They give it to you for free. Use it! "
" National RTAP provides an essential service to rural and small transit agencies. The products are provided at no cost and help agencies maximize their resources and ensure that their employees are trained in all aspects of passenger service. "
" We were able to deploy online trip planning for Glasgow Transit in less than
90 days using GTFS Builder. Trip planning information displays in a riders'
native language, which supports gencies in travel training and meeting Title VI
mandates. "
" Having a tool like GTFS Builder is really light years ahead of what it used to be at one time in terms of how fast you can put everything together. Our university students really can't imagine transit without it, so I think it's very important for us in terms of attracting that particular demographic. "
" In the past we used proprietary database software that was very challenging, very murky, and hard to update. GTFS Builder is a great opportunity to make this more user-friendly, more readily updatable and it
would enable us to show how to create a GTFS to more of the staff. "
" Collaboration is a buzz word these days in the industry. On behalf of our Tribal segment, I appreciate RTAP for making Tribes a partner in industry opportunities. The organization goes over and beyond reaching partners one would not expect in a busy industry such as public transportation. Thank you for your tireless efforts! "
"We are so very thankful for all your transportation training materials. Your resources are as valuable as gold!"
