Community Transit Grant Program

The Details

Overview

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. The application will open September 25 and will be due November 7. Register for virtual pre-application training.

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.

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.
