| Purpose |
Grants can be awarded
to recipients located in rural and small urban areas with populations
under 50,000 not identified as an urbanized area by the Bureau of the
Census. The grants may be used for public transportation capital
projects, operating costs of equipment and facilities for use in public
transportation, planning, and the acquisition of public transportation
services, including service agreements with private providers of public
transportation services. Under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) regulations, public fixed
route operators are required to provide ADA complementary paratransit
service to individuals who cannot use the fixed route due to their
disability. Coordinated human service transportation that primarily
serves elderly persons and persons with disabilities, but that is not
restricted from carrying other members of the public, is considered
available to the general public if it is marketed as public
transportation. |
