Call for Collaboration: Rural Travel Training Program Guide Workgroup
We invite DOT staff, mobility managers, transit coordinators, and transportation professionals to join a collaborative work group to develop the Rural Travel Training 101 Manual, a National RTAP–aligned resource designed to strengthen rural mobility, access, and independence. This practical guide will provide step-by-step tools for teaching individuals in rural areas how to confidently and safely use public transportation—covering topics such as assessing rider needs, planning trips, understanding schedules, and ADA rights. By contributing to this effort, participants will help create a comprehensive, inclusive framework that expands access to essential services, reduces isolation, and empowers rural residents while enhancing the capacity of local transit systems nationwide.
Submission Deadline: November 15th
