New National RTAP Checklist for Transferring Vehicle Ownership

National RTAP's new Checklist for Transferring Vehicle Ownership outlines the steps needed by transit agencies that receive FTA 5311 funding to transfer ownership of transit vehicles. This checklist is for public transit agencies purchasing used vehicles from other organizations, including other public transit agencies.

Thank you to National RTAP Review Board members Deborah Bach, Rural Transit Programs Supervisor, New Mexico Department of Transportation, Transit and Rail Division, and Kevin Wassom, Compliance Specialist, Michigan Department of Transportation, for review of and contributions to this technical brief.

Checklist

Updated National RTAP Technical Brief on Developing Effective Policies and Procedures

National RTAP updated its technical brief on Developing Effective Policies and Procedures. The brief outlines the most important things to keep in mind when developing policies and procedures for the rural transit system, and ways to ensure their effectiveness once they are in place. A particular focus is placed on issues related to the system itself and issues related to employees and human resources.

Updates include recommendations for how often policies should be reviewed, additional topics to consider for policy manuals, and new system-related and employee-related considerations for policy manuals.

Tech Brief

Thank you to Laura A. Corff, Transit Director, United Community Action Program, Inc., for the review of the updated edition.
