There's always something new at National RTAP! This fall, explore some of our newest and upcoming resources: Mobility Management in Rural and Tribal Areas, Demand Responsive Transportation Data Standards Article and Directory, National RTAP Website Accessibility Menu, Incidental and Shared Use: Use of Assets for Non-Transit Purposes, Rural Mobility Hubs: A Community Based Framework, and more.
The three most recent webinars are listed below. All National RTAP Webinars are available in our YouTube Channel.
The session instructed on how to use TACL, The Transportation Technical Assistance Coordination Library, and included a Resource Feature by the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility Technical Assistance Center (CCAM-TAC) on its Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan Course.
"Shapes" connect the route path between your stops to the correct road in your General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data. Shapes help visualize your bus network. In addition, National Transit Database (NTD) reporting requires shapes files for rural and tribal reporters beginning in Reporting Year (RY) 2026.
National RTAP hosted a webinar on Intercity Bus Industry and State Updates: Where Things Are Now on June 26, 2026. Participants learned about the current intercity bus landscape and how to provide access to intercity transportation facilities from experts.

" National RTAP offers one-stop shopping for rural and tribal transit technical assistance products and services. Call, email, or chat with us and if we can’t help with your request, we’ll connect you with someone who can! "
" You go above and beyond and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate it so much and always enjoy my time with you. The presentations give me so much to bring back to my agency and my subrecipients. "
" I always used the CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) method to develop training materials until I discovered RTAP. They give it to you for free. Use it! "
" National RTAP provides an essential service to rural and small transit agencies. The products are provided at no cost and help agencies maximize their resources and ensure that their employees are trained in all aspects of passenger service. "
" We were able to deploy online trip planning for Glasgow Transit in less than
90 days using GTFS Builder. Trip planning information displays in a riders'
native language, which supports gencies in travel training and meeting Title VI
mandates. "
" Having a tool like GTFS Builder is really light years ahead of what it used to be at one time in terms of how fast you can put everything together. Our university students really can't imagine transit without it, so I think it's very important for us in terms of attracting that particular demographic. "
" In the past we used proprietary database software that was very challenging, very murky, and hard to update. GTFS Builder is a great opportunity to make this more user-friendly, more readily updatable and it
would enable us to show how to create a GTFS to more of the staff. "
" Collaboration is a buzz word these days in the industry. On behalf of our Tribal segment, I appreciate RTAP for making Tribes a partner in industry opportunities. The organization goes over and beyond reaching partners one would not expect in a busy industry such as public transportation. Thank you for your tireless efforts! "
"We are so very thankful for all your transportation training materials. Your resources are as valuable as gold!"
