Application for Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities
On June 26th, Governor Cuomo announced that $28.7 million in federal funding is available to help communities eliminate barriers to traditional transportation services and enhance public mobility alternatives for seniors and New Yorkers with disabilities. This includes public transportation projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable.
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has posted the applications for funding under the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (Section 5310). The application form, along with criteria for eligible applicants, funding amounts based upon population density, technical assistance, upcoming webinars, and a Frequently Asked Questions document, can be found here.
