River Valley Transit services are supported by funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).  FTA’s Charter Service Regulations (49 CFR Part 604), which implement 49 U.S.C. 5323(d), protect private charter operators from unauthorized competition from FTA grant recipients. In essence, the charter regulations were implemented to ensure that transit agencies, subsidized with federal money, do not unfairly compete with privately owned bus companies. Under the charter rules, with limited exceptions, local transit agencies are restricted from operating chartered services.

As a result, RVT does not provide charter services.  FTA has created a charter bus service registration, where you may view companies that have registered to provide charter service in your area.  You can find the charter bus registration at https://ftawebprod.fta.dot.gov/CharterRegistration/Default.aspx.
