Meg Scully, LPA Staff

Narrative

Section 5310 - Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities- under both the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) provides funds to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation service and expanding transportation mobility options. This program supports transportation services planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities in all areas.

The DCHC MPO is the designated recipient of these funds and distributes the funds to eligible sub-recipients through a competitive selection process. A Call for Projects is conducted during even numbered years and includes funds from two fiscal years.

A total of $477,026 was apportioned to the Durham UZA for FY2015 and FY2016 and will be available for the 2016 Call for Projects. Attached is the Section 5310 application including the application process schedule.
