The Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) received a $212,914 project grant award from the Federal Transit Administration's Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513) to provide transportation services for elderly persons and individuals with disabilities. The grant period runs from September 26, 2022 through March 30, 2030.
Through two sub-awards totaling $106,457, the PRHTA will fund the acquisition of accessible vehicles by the municipalities of Adjuntas ($11,457) and Utuado ($95,000) to expand existing transportation services and provide more options to meet the needs of elderly and disabled populations in those areas. The vehicles will be used to transport clients and allow for increased ridership among workers, visitors and patients who rely on public transit where other options are inappropriate, insufficient or unavailable.
