Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities

To provide financial assistance in meeting the transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities where public transportation services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate. The Section 5310 program is designed to supplement FTA's other capital assistance programs by funding transportation projects for seniors and individuals with disabilities in all areas - large urban, small urban, and rural. Upon repeal of the New Freedom Program, its goals were incorporated into the Section 5310 program, which funds alternative forms of transportation where traditional services are unavailable, inappropriate, or insufficient. Funds can be used for capital and operations activities. The discretionary program assists in financing innovative capital projects for the transportation disadvantaged that improve the coordination of transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services. In August 2025, this AL was split into two separate programs with specific AL's, Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities 20.536 and Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility (ICAM) Grants – 20.537. The new listings will be utilized by DOT at the start of FY 2026.”
