Formula Grant NJ2026006

The Federal Transit Administration awarded New Jersey Transit Corporation $15,941,660 on August 10, 2026, under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513) to purchase gas vehicles equipped with lifts or ramps, support mobility management and operating projects serving seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout New Jersey.

NJ Transit will provide state administration, oversight, and technical assistance to sub-recipients, managing day-to-day grant activities including federal oversight, FTA reporting, grant agreement development, finance and reimbursements, grant closeouts, and technical support to sub-recipients. Force account funds will support vehicle inspections and pre-award and post-delivery audits. The capital funds will enable public bodies and private nonprofits across New Jersey to purchase vehicles and equipment and to support operating and mobility management activities—including driver support, dispatching, scheduling, and coordination services—that strengthen local transportation operations.

The program is designed to ensure seniors and individuals with disabilities have access to safe, reliable, accessible vehicles meeting current safety and ADA standards. By supporting both capital vehicle replacement and operating mobility management projects, the initiative aims to improve service reliability, reduce service gaps, and expand access to essential destinations including healthcare, employment, nutrition sites, education, and community programs.

The award runs through December 31, 2032, with place of performance in New Jersey.
