Pobal administers the Rural Transport Programme (RTP) on behalf of my Department and is working with 37 individual rural transport groups around the country, including groups in County Roscommon, to expand it on a phased basis in response to local public transport service needs and having regard to the availability of resources. A list of RTP groups is available on the Pobal website at www.pobal.ie. Euro 10 million is being provided for the RTP in 2008, up from Euro 9 million in 2007. Euro 11 million has been allocated for the Programme in 2009.
