The 5310 Program was enacted to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities in the community by removing barriers to transportation services and expanding the transportation mobility options available.
The program provides funds for capital and operating expenses for:
- Public transportation projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable.
- Public transportation projects that exceed the requirements of the ADA of 1990.
- Public transportation projects that improve access to fixed-route service and decrease reliance on complementary paratransit.
- Alternatives to public transportation projects that assist seniors and individuals with disabilities with transportation.
