Tribal Transit Section of the Transit Manager’s Toolkit

The Transit Manager’s Toolkit was created for the National Rural Transit Assistance Program and prepared by KFH Group, Inc.

The Tribal Transit section of the Transit Manager’s Toolkit discusses the issues and complexities that come with managing or engaging with a tribal transit agency and the unique transit needs of tribal communities. While there are many similarities between tribal and non-tribal transit systems, what a tribal transit manager needs to know on the very first day of the job may be a little different than what a non-tribal transit manager needs to know. This section of the Toolkit was developed to give new tribal transit managers the information they will need on day one to ensure their transit organizations are operating efficiently, effectively, and in compliance with federal regulations associated with receiving funding through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

While the day-to-day operation of a tribal transit agency can be challenging, it is possible to operate a system that is both efficient and effective when leadership has the right tools. This section of the Toolkit includes information and guidance to ensure that tribal transit managers are aware of available resources to successfully provide rides for tribal citizens.
