This program enhances mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities by providing funds to programs that serve the unique needs of transit-dependent populations. These services are in addition to those found under traditional public transportation services and the Americans with Disabilities Act’s (ADA) complementary para-transit services.
In Arizona, the Section 5310 grant program is managed by the Arizona Department of Transportation. In response to the Federal United We Ride initiative, SAFETEA-LU, and MAP-21 requirements, the Arizona Department of Transportation began its coordinated mobility program to administer the grant programs and provide assistance and oversight for local coordination efforts.
