National Rural Transit Assistance Program

The National Rural Transit Assistance Program (NRTAP) is a federal initiative aimed at improving public transportation services in rural areas of the United States. It provides support and resources to help rural transit agencies enhance their services, ensure safe and efficient transportation, and meet the unique needs of their communities. NRTAP offers training, technical assistance, and funding opportunities to local transit providers, helping them improve operations and develop best practices to serve residents better. Ultimately, the program seeks to strengthen rural mobility and access to essential services for people living in less populated regions.
