To support the coordinating council on access and mobility (CCAM) with the coordinating council on access and mobility technical assistance center (CCAM - TAC)

The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded a $6 million cooperative agreement to the Community Transportation Association of America on December 29, 2025, to operate the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility Technical Assistance Center (CCAM-TAC) through January 31, 2027, under the Technical Assistance and Workforce Development program (CFDA 20.531).

The CCAM-TAC will deliver self-directed and customized technical assistance, training, and support services to CCAM members, federal agencies, their grantees, partners, and stakeholders to enhance safe and accessible transportation options through regional, state, and local coordination and strategic partnerships. The center aims to increase coordination and provision of public transportation services to transportation-disadvantaged audiences—seniors, individuals with disabilities, low-income families, and others with transportation barriers—and to support services provided by federally funded human service agencies where transportation access is critical.

Work encompasses human services transportation, public transit, and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) coordination. The Community Transportation Association of America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, is the direct recipient. Sub-recipients will conduct research, training, outreach, and technical support activities. Place of performance is Washington, DC.
