Tribal Transit Workshop
Western TTAP and National RTAP are proud to partner to provide tribes with our 2-day Tribal Transit Workshop.
This training is designed using the framework established by the National RTAP Transit Manager’s Toolkit, an online resource designed to help new rural transit managers operate efficiently and comply with Federal FTA Section 5311 regulations. This training covers Administration, Operations and Planning, Compliance, and Tribal Transit, with references to key Federal circulars. Regularly updated, the Toolkit provides current guidance and allows users to suggest new topics for practical, day-to-day management support.
The workshop is designed for new rural and tribal transit managers who need a practical reference for day-to-day operations and FTA Section 5311 compliance. It provides essential guidance to help transit organizations run smoothly and meet Federal requirements.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the core responsibilities of rural and tribal transit managers.
