The Federal Transit Administration awarded Clark County Public Transportation Benefit Area (C-Tran) $1,667,173 under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513) on July 22, 2026.

The award funds Reserve-a-Ride transportation services for non-ambulatory individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid and travel outside C-Tran's service boundary, mobility management services to evaluate and address transportation barriers for seniors and people with disabilities, and a Community Access Van/Volunteers in Motion volunteer driver program. C-Tran will install Braille placards at transit stops and complete ADA stop improvements including the purchase of 22 replacement shelters.

Performance runs through January 31, 2032, with work performed in Washington. The program's expected outcomes include providing ADA transit services beyond C-Tran's complementary ADA service offering, enhanced accessibility for visually impaired riders, and improved rider experience through shelter replacements.

C-Tran delivers services through two subrecipient agreements: Volunteers in Motion (formerly the Human Services Council) and Catholic Community Services, which operate the mobility management and volunteer driver program components. The intended beneficiaries are residents traveling within C-Tran's service area in Clark County.

Activities

The reserve-a-ride program provides transportation for non-ambulatory individuals that do not qualify for medicaid and are travelling outside c-trans service boundary. Mobility management will evaluate and work to help solve transportation obstacles for at risk populations focusing on seniors and people with disabilities. The community access van/volunteers in motion services will operate as a multifaceted volunteer driver program offering additional ways to engage community volunteers to support the transport of seniors and people with disabilities. C-tran will install braille placards at stops affixing them to existing shelters and poles as well as complete ADA stop improvements with the purchase of 22 replacement shelters.

Expected outcomes

Funding will provide services to assist clark county residents through mobility management and the provision of other ADA transit services that go beyond what c-tran provides as part of its complementary ADA service c-van. C-tran will also add braille placards to better serve the visually impaired and replace 22 shelters at existing stops for an enhanced rider experience.

Intended beneficiaries

The intended beneficiaries are the population traveling within c-trans service area.

Subrecipient activities

The services described in this grant agreement are provided through two subrecipient agreements one with volunteers in motion (formerly the human services council) and the other with catholic community services.
