The new Rural Transport Programme (RTP) structure involves the establishment of 18 Transport Co-ordination Units (TCUs) in place of the existing 35 RTP Groups currently delivering the service. The appraisal of the applications, submitted in response to the Call for Applications from existing RTP Groups, for the selection of the TCUs which was managed by the NTA, has concluded and all applicants have been informed of the outcome of the selection process.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct response. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days please contact my private office.
