Learn How to Maximize Your Contracting Opportunities by Understanding Federal Programs and the Federal Planning Process

The Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association (TLPA) has been awarded a grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to assist private transportation operators in understanding and becoming involved in the transportation planning process and the opportunities for business and contracting that may follow. As a part of this technical assistance program, TLPA will be conducting seminars to help you become more involved in this process at the state, regional and local levels, to help you understand why being involved is in your best interest, and to help you identify additional revenue opportunities to expand your services.

1. The need to guard against inequitable government subsidized competition.

3. To prevent wasted resources through duplicative expenditures.
