Welcome to the Transit Manager's Toolkit

Welcome to the National RTAP Transit Manager’s Toolkit! This online Toolkit was developed to give new transit managers the information they will need on day one to ensure their rural transit organizations are operating smoothly and are in compliance with the federal regulations associated with receiving Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5311 funding.

 

While this Toolkit covers many topics regarding compliance, it is important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and transit managers should not rely on this Toolkit alone to ensure they are meeting all federal requirements. Currently, the Toolkit focuses on the federal regulations in place as of February 2024, with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15, 2021, being the most recent authorization of the transportation programs of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

 

The Toolkit contains the following section categories: Administration, Operations and Planning, Compliance, and Tribal Transit. To view the topics included in each section, see the table of contents or visit the online Toolkit and click on any of the sections in the left toolbar to expand your navigation options. Federal circulars are referenced throughout the Toolkit, and to learn more about what a circular is, access a list of circulars that are relevant to transit managers in the Federal Regulations and Circulars section.

 

We will be adding to this toolkit as additional guidance is issued and new topics arise. If you find that this Toolkit does not cover a topic that you are looking for, feel free to use the Suggest a Topic form to submit your topic idea.  Note that the online Toolkit is updated more frequently than the PDF version.
