About this opportunity
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is soliciting competitive grant applications for capital and planning projects designed to upgrade the accessibility of legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city/township governments, and other entities that operate or financially support legacy rail public transportation systems. Projects must focus on increasing the number of existing stations and facilities that meet or exceed new construction accessibility standards under Title II of the ADA, with particular emphasis on serving people with disabilities, including wheelchair users. The FTA will evaluate applications based on demonstrated need, project benefits, financial commitment, implementation strategy, and consistency with local planning requirements. All applications must be submitted electronically through GRANTS.GOV by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 1, 2026, with the funding opportunity ID FTA-2026-001-TPM-ASAP. Inquiries should be directed to Thomas Wilson at thomas.wilson@dot.gov or (202) 366-2053.
This competitive funding opportunity makes $686 million available for FY 2025 and FY 2026 combined. Recent awards under this program have ranged from approximately $1.7 million to $318 million, with project durations typically spanning three to five years and completion dates extending into 2028 and 2029. The award timeline approximates 15 to 30 days from application submission in the FTA's Transit Award Management System (TrAMS). Performance of work will occur at legacy rail stations and facilities throughout the United States, with major previous awards concentrated in regions served by entities such as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, and other regional transit authorities across the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast.
