IF YOU ARE A
DELEGATE/ALTERNATE TO THE RNC
If you are traveling to Tampa for Paul Festival weekend only, you may see the Ronvoy routes for this option at the National Ronvoy to Paul Festival page.
Delegates/Alternates: We want to help fund your trip to Tampa, and we would love to have you attend Paul Festival 2012 the weekend before the RNC begins! Be sure to register for your FREE 3-day VIP Pass! Specific rates for Delegate/Alternate Ronvoys to Tampa will be posted soon. In the meantime, please register so that we know how many Delegates and Alternates and where you are all coming from.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Paul Festival 2012?
Paul Festival 2012 is a weekend long music and liberty festival, with entertainment and activism. It begins on Friday, August 24, 2012 and ends on Sunday, August 26, 2012. We would love to have all Delegates and Alternates attend Paul Festival prior to the start of the RNC on Monday, August 27th.
How can you help Delegates and Alternates with Funding?
- This sponsorship page gives the public a central location for donating funds which will benefit ALL Delegates and Alternates who register. Although the Ronvoys are not FREE, we want to reduce the amount that Delegates and Alternates will pay out of pocket, by taking all donated funds and literally dividing them evenly to ALL Delegates and Alternates who register with RTM once all donated funds have been collected.
- It's definitely in your best interest to promote the Delegate Sponsorship page on your social networking pages, and to encourage your local meetup groups to donate.
- EACH STATE DELEGATION will soon have it's OWN Ronvoy page, at which the public may donate DIRECTLY to that specific State's Delegates and Alternates. We are working on the Delegate/Alternate State-Specific Ronvoy rates and we will have those up as soon as possible.
- DO NOT purchase a Ronvoy ticket on the main Ronvoy 2012 to Paul Festival site. Simply register as a Delegate or Alternate on that site or on this one and RTM will contact you to guide you in registering for the Ronvoy when the State-specific rates Delegates/Alternates are confirmed. Note that the rates on the Ronvoy 2012 site DO NOT include the week of the RNC, and are for travelers who are attending Paul Festival ONLY.
Can Delegates/Alternates and their Guests take the Ronvoy to Paul Fest & the RNC?
ABSOLUTELY!
Just visit the State Ronvoys to Paul Fest page and you'll be able to see discounted Delegate Ronvoy rates from all 48 contiguous States.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide Ronvoy transportation from Hawaii, Alaska, or the Territories.
How is the rate for a particular Ronvoy route determined?
Revolution Travel Management is an entirely non-profit travel & lodging brokerage. Our Committee volunteers are not paid for their service of coordinating travel & lodging for liberty events. They do it because they believe in the cause. Travelers pay the EXACT amount per person for each vehicle and for fuel. There is no trick to this. Revolution Travel Management contracts with various car rental agencies through the nation, including Avis, Budget and others. We are able to reserve bulk amounts of vehicles at the lowest rate possible. We divide the total cost of the vehicle, including the rent fee, insurance and tax, by the number of passengers on the vehicle. We then calculate the cost of fuel for the route. Starting from the original departure city, we determine the total mileage to Tampa and back. We divide that by the miles per gallon of the vehicle (15mpg). After computing the amount of gallons of fuel required, we multiply that number by $5 per gallon. We take that total cost of fuel and divide it by the number of passengers per vehicle on the route. Approximately one week prior to the driver's departure date, we transfer the fuel funds to him directly. He then holds complete responsibility for paying for the fuel for the Ronvoy from that point forward. Note: Some routes may encounter toll fees. Travelers are asked to share in the responsibility of paying these fees throughout travel. Where possible, RTM has coordinated routes avoiding tolls as much as possible, while reasonably coordinating a route that is the most direct route to Tampa. *Yes, we know fuel isn't $5 per gallon EVERYWHERE, but in the major cities it is getting close - we don't want to cut ANY vehicle short of fuel. Any minute amount of fuel money that may be left over is given to the driver who picked up the vehicle, for his dedicated service to the cause of liberty, at the end of the trip.
How does the Ronvoy work?
The vehicles hold 12 or 15 people each. We sell the spots to twelve or fifteen people per vehicle per route. Once all the spots on a particular vehicle have been sold on a route, we pay for the vehicle directly from the Revolution Travel Management account with traveler funds. Ronvoy vehicles are driven by volunteer drivers who are also paid travelers on the route. Revolution Travel Management transfers the TOTAL amount of money required for fuel for the entire route to the driver in advance of the departure date. The driver agrees to be responsible for picking up the vehicle at the correct time and to travel the route as required to pick up all travelers who have been assigned to his or her vehicle. The driver communicates with his Ronvoy route coordinator (the volunteer who is organizing the passengers into vehicles for that route) during the entire process to ensure timely and safe transportation to Tampa.
What about transportation IN Tampa?
Ronvoy drivers are REQUIRED to commit to transporting Delegates and Alternates to the Convention Center during the week of the RNC. Drivers and Passengers may generally agree to other transportation needs in the city, but ALL drivers commit to being available for the duration of the RNC for Delegate/Alternate transportation.
Driver Information: Qualified Drivers are required for every Ronvoy route vehicle. A qualified driver will be at least 25 years of age, with a valid drivers license. If ticket purchaser will be a driver and is qualified, please indicate so on registration form when paying for ticket. Drivers are responsible for ensuring timely and safe travel for all passengers. Revolution Travel Management does not require a DMV check, however the vehicle companies we contract through may do so at vehicle pick-up. Drivers are responsible for communicating with the Ronvoy coordinator with any unanticipated changes throughout travel. For more information on being a driver, please don't hesitate to contact Susan Wolfe directly at 424-254-8911 or email the Ronvoy Travel committee at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
Traveler Information: Drivers will be provided with all confirmed and paid traveler's contact information. Driver information will be provided to all travelers on August 1, 2012. It is the traveler's responsibility to contact the driver directly with any questions or concerns regarding travel. It is the traveler's sole responsibility to arrive at the departure location on time to the departure location. Travelers are encouraged to arrive at least thirty minutes early for departure. Travelers are expected to communicate with the driver on issues regarding schedule. Drivers will be in contact with travelers to confirm departure location and estimated arrival time. There are NO REFUNDS for being late/missing the departure of the Ronvoy. It is ABSOLUTELY in the best interest of the traveler to be in contact with your driver regularly. Unless route is cancelled due to low participation, all sales are FINAL.
Vehicle Information: Vehicles are 12 and 15 passenger vans - NOT buses. RTM utilizes passenger vans for several reasons:
- This allows travelers to be flexible in their travel - stop to eat, use the restroom, stretch at leisure.
- This allows travelers to have transportation to and from all the events in Tampa.
- Rather than using personal vehicles, we utilize rental vehicles so that in the event of mechanical error, travelers are ensured that the company will get them back on the road.
Payment Information: PayPal payments are preferred, however you may also pay by check or money order. Mail Checks and Money Orders to: Revolution Travel Management 1725 S. 155th W. Suite 6, Goddard, KS 67052 Full payment must be received by July 31, 2012. Traveler will receive confirmation email within 3 days of payment receipt. No cancellations except in the event of route cancellation, however ticket may be transferred to another traveler by contacting the Ronvoy Travel Team by This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or on the Ronvoy Hotline at (407) 4RONVOY.| (407) 476-6869.
Revolution Travel Management created the Ronvoy process for the purpose of transporting thousands of attendees to liberty events nationwide. RTM is an entirely non-profit travel & lodging brokerage. Our committee is made up entirely of volunteers, who donate our time and energy toward coordinating low-cost travel & lodging for attendees of national Liberty events. Please share this on your social networking page to assist us in our efforts. Thank you!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Paul Festival?
Paul Festival 2012 is a weekend long music and liberty festival, with entertainment and activism. It begins on Friday, August 24, 2012 and ends on Sunday, August 26, 2012. We will also participate in the Veterans for Ron Paul march during the start of the Republican National Convention on Monday, August 27, 2012, after which we will head home.
Which Ronvoy route should I choose?
Travelers should register for the route that has the city you will depart from on it. So if you're coming from Long Beach, you'll depart in LA at the airport. You will depart from the home city on either August 22nd or 23rd, depending upon which city you are departing from, arrive in Tampa on the 24th...enjoy the weekend of events...then depart for home on the 27th after the Veterans march, arriving back home on either the evening of the 28th or the morning of the 29th, depending upon how far away the original departure city is.

Revolution Travel Management transfers the TOTAL amount of money required for fuel for the entire route to the driver in advance of the departure date. The driver agrees to be responsible for picking up the vehicle at the correct time and to travel the route as required to pick up all travelers who have been assigned to his or her vehicle. The driver communicates with his Ronvoy route coordinator (the volunteer who is organizing the passengers into vehicles for that route) regarding specific pickup locations in each city.
Driver Information:
Qualified Drivers are required for every Ronvoy route vehicle. A qualified driver will be at least 25 years of age, with a valid drivers license.
If ticket purchaser will be a driver and is qualified, please indicate so on registration form when paying for ticket. Drivers are responsible for ensuring timely and safe travel for all passengers. Revolution Travel Management does not require a DMV check, however the vehicle companies we contract through may do so at vehicle pick-up.
Drivers are responsible for communicating with the Ronvoy coordinator with any unanticipated changes throughout travel. Two or more volunteer drivers is preferable on each vehicle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Paul Festival?
Paul Festival 2012 is a weekend long music and liberty festival, with entertainment and activism. It begins on Friday, August 24, 2012 and ends on Sunday, August 26, 2012. We will also participate in the Veterans for Ron Paul march during the start of the Republican National Convention on Monday, August 27, 2012, after which we will head home.
Which Ronvoy route should I choose?
Travelers should register for the route that has the city you will depart from on it. So if you're coming from Long Beach, you'll depart in LA at the airport. You will depart from the home city on either August 22nd or 23rd, depending upon which city you are departing from, arrive in Tampa on the 24th...enjoy the weekend of events...then depart for home on the 27th after the Veterans march, arriving back home on either the evening of the 28th or the morning of the 29th, depending upon how far away the original departure city is.
NOTE: DELEGATES/ALTERNATES, AND SUPPORTERS WHO WILL BE STAYING IN TAMPA FOR THE DURATION OF THE CONVENTION - THESE RETURN DATES DO NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU WILL DEPART TAMPA ON AUGUST 31, 2012, AND YOU RETURN TO YOUR ORIGINAL CITY ON EITHER SEPTEMBER 1ST OR 2ND DEPENDING UPON THE LENGTH OF YOUR TRAVEL. Please bear with us as we work to compile all the information for every individual State Ronvoy! Thank you!
How is the rate for a particular Ronvoy route determined?
Revolution Travel Management is an entirely non-profit travel & lodging brokerage. Our Committee volunteers are not paid for their service of coordinating travel & lodging for liberty events. They do it because they believe in the cause. Travelers pay the EXACT amount per person for each vehicle and for fuel.
There is no trick to this. Revolution Travel Management contracts with various car rental agencies through the nation, including Avis, Budget and others. We are able to reserve bulk amounts of vehicles at the lowest rate possible. We divide the total cost of the vehicle, including the rent fee, insurance and tax, by the number of passengers on the vehicle.
We then calculate the cost of fuel for the route. Starting from the original departure city, we determine the total mileage to Tampa and back. We divide that by the miles per gallon of the vehicle (15mpg). After computing the amount of gallons of fuel required, we multiply that number by $5 per gallon. We take that total cost of fuel and divide it by the number of passengers per vehicle on the route. Approximately one week prior to the driver's departure date, we transfer the fuel funds to him directly. He then holds complete responsibility for paying for the fuel for the Ronvoy from that point forward.
Note: Some routes may encounter toll fees. Travelers are asked to share in the responsibility of paying these fees throughout travel. Where possible, RTM has coordinated routes avoiding tolls as much as possible, while reasonably coordinating a route that is the most direct route to Tampa.
*Yes, we know fuel isn't $5 per gallon EVERYWHERE, but in the major cities it is getting close - we don't want to cut ANY vehicle short of fuel. Any minute amount of fuel money that may be left over is given to the driver who picked up the vehicle, for his dedicated service to the cause of liberty, at the end of the trip.
How does the Ronvoy work?
The vehicles hold 12 or 15 people each. We sell the spots to twelve or fifteen people per vehicle per route. Once all the spots on a particular vehicle have been sold on a route, we pay for the vehicle directly from the Revolution Travel Management account with traveler funds. Ronvoy vehicles are driven by volunteer drivers who are also paid travelers on the route. Revolution Travel Management transfers the TOTAL amount of money required for fuel for the entire route to the driver in advance of the departure date. The driver agrees to be responsible for picking up the vehicle at the correct time and to travel the route as required to pick up all travelers who have been assigned to his or her vehicle. The driver communicates with his Ronvoy route coordinator (the volunteer who is organizing the passengers into vehicles for that route) regarding specific pickup locations in each city.
