RTAP funds can be used for courses, workshops, seminars, materials, driver training(s) and conferences with subject matter applicable to rural and specialized transportation.

“This straight-forward process encourages our sub-recipients to utilize the scholarship funds for various types of training; including the purchase of training materials.
