New National RTAP Transit Data Standards Resource Directory

A new Transit Data Standards Resource Directory has been published under the National RTAP Projects button in our Resources Megamenu. The Directory helps users understand the data specifications and supporting resources relevant to rural transportation providers. Organized with the Complete Trip in mind, they support all aspects from agency operations to rider needs, including planning, scheduling, booking, paying, and reporting.

Drop-down menus provide resources on data standards, supporting resources, industry efforts, and capacity building tools and resources.

Thank you to Jana Lynott, AICP, Independent Consultant; Marcy Jaffe, Principal and Founder of Transnnovation, Inc and National RTAP GTFS Technical Support; Santosh Mishra, President & CEO of Flexlynqs; Kevin Chambers, Principal/Founder of Full Path Transit Technology and National RTAP RideSheet Technical Support, for contributions to this directory.

Transportation Technical Assistance Library (TACL) News and Updates

The Transportation Technical Assistance Coordination Library (TACL) helps rural and tribal transit agencies access information about public transportation coordination, coordinate among federally funded programs, and share resources across agencies to improve transit in their communities. TACL contains reports, training seminars, toolkits, and other materials developed by FTA and its technical assistance centers.

Welcome new San Jose State University Graduate School of Library and Information Science TACL reviewers: Minnie Esquivel Gopar and Sy Maestas.

In July 2026, 2 new resources were added to TACL:

TACL Partner Resource: Collaborating for Transportation Access in Rural Communities

We are featuring the Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) this quarter with resources shown in a carousel at the bottom right of TACL's homepage.

The next Learn About TACL training will take place on August 12, 2026 from 2:00-3:00 PM ET. The session will instruct on how to use TACL and include a Resource Feature by the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility Technical Assistance Center (CCAM-TAC) on its Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan Course.

Learn About TACL eLearning has been updated with new information about CCAM-TAC, partner resources, new features, and new TACL resources. Thank you to Tom Nutter from Oklahoma DOT and Abby Mader from the Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) for reviewing the update to this course.

Publications

NCHRP's Preparing the Transportation Workforce for Emerging Technologies addresses recruitment, development, and retention of a workforce proficient in developing and deploying complex emerging technologies. The guide is designed to help enhance the agility, adaptability, and preparedness of transportation agencies to bolster their workforce’s resiliency to change and enable the capitalization of benefits offered by emerging technologies.

Understanding Transport Demands and Elasticities: How Prices and Other Factors Affect Travel Behavior by the Victoria Transport Policy Institute describes concepts related to transport demand, investigates the influence that factors such as prices and service quality have on travel activity, and how these impacts can be measured using elasticity values. For example, vehicle miles traveled tend to have higher fuel-price elasticities, and since rural households tend to drive relatively high annual miles and have relative low annual incomes, they tend to be more price elastic than urban households.

In Transit Agency Practices for Operator Candidate Assessment, the Transit Workforce Center (TWC) presents four ways for collecting information about applicants for transit operator positions (screenings, interviews, tests, and reference checks), as well as common practices and best practices for each, based on its research with transit agencies.

The Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) launched a website on Artificial Intelligence, with datasets, frameworks, best practices, funding opportunities, case studies, peer exchanges, and more.

Databases and Tools

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) updated its Transportation Economic Trends (TET). Updates included per-mile costs of owning and operating an automobile, transportation productivity, cost of fuel, and other data.

The 2026 Fleet Manager Salary Survey chart, produced by Automotive Fleet, Work Truck, and Government Fleet, shows that fleet manager compensation is rising, particularly in the $100,000 to $150,000 range.

The AARP Livable Communities Map displays towns, cities, and counties throughout the nation that have enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities or received a quick-action AARP Community Challenge grant. The map can be searched by area and by keyword (such as transit).

The Federation of American Scientists provides a Heat Policy Explorer that lets users click on states to see their approaches to extreme heat preparedness in workplaces and communities.

Opportunities

The program prioritizes investment in infrastructure and construction projects that deliver immediate, measurable risk reduction to communities vulnerable to natural hazards.

FEMA also published a Notice of Funding Opportunity for its Fiscal Year 2026 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program. This program provides funds to intercity bus companies to protect

critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism. Proposals are due July 24, 2026.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking nominations for Tribal representatives to serve on the Tribal Transportation Program Coordinating Committee (TTPCC).

Comments are due August 29, 2026.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposes placing the antidepressant tianeptine in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Comments are due August 7, 2026.

NHTSA published a letter to automated vehicle (AV) developers regarding a pattern of interference with first responders. Interference includes AVs driving directly into active emergency scenes, blocking the paths of ambulances and firefighters, and failing to recognize and respond to basic safety conditions like flashing lights, flares, smoke, fire, and traffic cones. NHTSA is planning meetings with AV developers to hear their solutions.

FMCSA is planning to update the 2022 electronic logging device (ELD) mandate and has removed 10 devices from the agency’s list of approved ELDs.
