This $382,000 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration will fund the Community Transportation Program operated by the RIO Metro Regional Transit District (RMRTD) in New Mexico. The program provides on-demand taxi service to low-income residents of Bernalillo County who do not have access to reliable public transportation to reach employment, job training, and child care locations. The grant will support the continuation of this critical "job access" transportation service, which connects disadvantaged individuals to economic opportunities when fixed-route bus service is unavailable or not feasible. This 2-year grant award, effective from September 2024 to June 2026, enables RMRTD to sustain its community transportation initiatives and improve mobility options for the targeted low-income population in the Albuquerque urban area.
