Apply for an accessible vehicle through the Community Transit Grant Program

The FY27 application will open in early 2027. Join our newsletter for updates on grant cycles.

If you are looking to apply for an accessible vehicle, this page is for you! Through this program, MassDOT seeks to expand mobility for older adults and people with disabilities across the Commonwealth through filling gaps in the transportation network, complementing – not duplicating – existing services, and supporting coordinated models of transportation. We are not currently accepting applications, but plan to open the next application cycle early in 2027.

If you are interested in applying for funding to operate transportation or promote mobility management to expand mobility for older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income people, please visit our page on applying for operating and mobility management grants instead. The operating and mobility management application is now open, due October 30.

Please note that Community Transit Grant Program vehicles are large, multi-passenger vans targeted to groups and shared rides. Regional transit authorities, municipalities (including Councils on Aging), non-profits, and private operators providing public transportation are eligible to apply. Individuals and families looking for accessible vehicles can refer to these resources.

Applicants considering applying for an electric vehicle (EV) may also be interested in resources from other organizations and agencies.
