Colorado Rural Agencies Free Registration

New in 2025, we have opened up the 2 free registration to all RTAP-Eligible agencies in Colorado. In years past, a rural agency needed to be a CDOT Subrecipient, but no more! The free registration will be provided as reimbursements after the conference. The process for receiving a reimbursement for two registrations is outlined below:

  • Register for the conference
    • Answer “CORTAP Eligible” to the question: Public or Non-profit organizations that provide transit services to rural areas in Colorado are eligible through CORTAP to have up to two (2) registrations reimbursed upon completion of the conference. Please indicate your agency’s eligibility below.
    • Pay for the registration
  • Check-in with CASTA Staff when you arrive at the conference
  • Enjoy the conference
  • Once the conference is over, CASTA will send reimbursement checks to cover up to 2 registrations for which Rural Agencies paid.
  • Rural Colorado Agencies are public and non-profit organizations that provide rural or specialized transportation services in Colorado, including organizations that receive or are eligible to apply for Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 and Section 5311 current year funds.
  • If you have any questions please reach out to josephp@coloradotransit.com

You may also apply for CORTAP Scholarship funds to cover travel and lodging to attend the conference. Rural Colorado Agency Free Registration may not be used as match toward CORTAP Scholarships. Rural CDOT Sub-Recipient free registrations are paid for through CORTAP

CASTA will be having a webinar to discuss Scholarships and the Rural Colorado Agency Free Registrations on July 9th, 2025 at 11:00 AM. You can register by going to the Registration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYqf-6rrDkrGd2vPc9xKd_FsF2D-N4YBsv0
