The Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority received a $3,563,501 Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.513 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities) to provide transportation services for elderly persons and individuals with disabilities. The grant will fund operating assistance, preventive maintenance, acquisition of vehicles and technology, and other support (e.g. GPS, tablets, uniforms) to meet the special transportation needs of these populations in areas with insufficient or unavailable services. The Authority will work with 14 municipalities and a non-profit organization as sub-grantees to implement the grant-funded activities, which are expected to increase participation in multimodal transportation and maintain optimal conditions for vehicle fleets. The award has an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2032.
