My Department provides funding for the Rural Transport Programme (RTP) to the National Transport Authority (NTA).
The NTA has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including, since 2012, management of the RTP.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
