The Rural and Tribal Passenger Transportation Technical Assistance program provides technical assistance for tribes and rural communities of less than 50,000 people to plan system start-up, transit service improvements, facility development, marketing, transportation coordination, and staff training.

Requests for technical assistance may be submitted by private for-profit businesses, nonprofit organizations, and federally recognized tribes. Other public entities are not eligible.

Rural is defined as an area with a population of less than 50,000.

This is a technical assistance opportunity funded by USDA and administered by the Community Transportation Association of America.

Links to additional guidance and application forms are available on the program website. There are separate applications for rural and tribal projects. Applications for short term technical assistance are accepted on an ongoing basis.
