The National Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP) can provide financial assistance to any RTAP eligible tribal transit system wishing to attend a National RTAP sponsored training program, professional development program, or educational conference. The purpose of the National RTAP Scholarship Program is to help offset some of the costs associated with attending training programs in order to encourage and further the development of the skills and abilities of those persons working for FTA-funded agencies.
Eligible training includes courses, seminars, workshops, and conferences with subject matter specifically related to the transit industry.
