This federal Project Grant award, provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513), will fund a 2-year pilot of a Statewide Mobility Management program led by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). The $451,001 grant will enable MassDOT to implement recommendations from a recent regional mobility manager study, with the goal of improving the accessibility, efficiency, and availability of transportation services for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and low-income residents across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Key activities include hiring a Statewide Mobility Manager, convening a Statewide Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility, and supporting community-based organizations to address gaps in the transportation system. MassDOT will collaborate with a steering committee of state agencies and consumer representatives to guide the program's implementation from September 2024 through December 2026.
