Overview of National RTAP
• Our mission is to improve the mobility of rural, small urban and tribal communities with populations under 50,000.
• Program founders recognized that transit drivers, dispatchers, maintenance workers, managers, and board members needed special skills and knowledge to provide quality service to their diverse customers across large service areas.
