Program  Announcements 

    • Announcing call for FTA 5310 Elderly Individuals and Individuals With Disabilities program projects.     
    • The deadline for applications is NOVEMBER 7, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.

 

Program Overview 

The goal of the Section 5310 program is to improve mobility for elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities throughout the country. Toward this goal, FTA provides financial assistance for transportation services planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special transportation needs of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities in all areas – urbanized, small urban and rural. The program requires coordination with other Federally-assisted programs and services in order to make the most efficient use of Federal resources.

 

Title 49 U.S.C. 5310 authorizes the formula assistance program for the special needs of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities, Section 5310 program. FTA, on behalf of the Secretary of Transportation, apportions the funds appropriated annually to the States based on an administrative formula that considers the number of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities in each State. These funds are subject to annual appropriations.  (further guidance can be obtained through Circular FTA 9070.1F)

 

Applicant Criteria 

Provide public transportation capital projects planned, designed and carried out to meet the special needs of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities.
