The Federal Transit Administration awarded $2.48 million in Formula Grant funding to the Knoxville Knox County Community Action Committee on March 10, 2026, under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513). This award addresses significant transportation gaps in the Knoxville urban area, where fixed-route mass transit and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) paratransit services cover only approximately 25-30% of the service territory, leaving 70-75% with limited demand-response options for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The grant funds support implementation of both capital and operating projects through distribution to non-profit and human service agency sub-recipients. Capital projects include the purchase of vans and minibuses for expanded service delivery throughout the underserved urban area. Operating projects encompass volunteer-assisted transportation programs and expanded demand-response transit services, all of which exceed ADA requirements. Additionally, the award supports mobility management coordination initiatives designed to optimize existing transit services and expand transportation options. The funding period extends through March 30, 2034, enabling sustained expansion of transportation access that promotes employment opportunities and community participation for vulnerable populations.
