The Transit Connection for State DOTs
It sounds simple: find a way that states can obtain and use the public transit technical expertise of other states. Connect with one another regarding past experience. Network and efficiently solve technical and programmatic problems.
Simply stated, that connection is the Multi-State Transit Technical Assistance Program or MTAP.
Through its members and services, the MTAP brings real-life, practical solutions to transit problems – on topics as varied as state funding procedures, transit asset management, financial management, vehicle procurement, rural inter-city service development, and ADA compliance.
