U.S. Department of
Transportation Announces $6.3 Million Funding Opportunity to Improve Access
to Healthcare
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) has announced the availability of $6.3 million in
competitive grant funds for transit coordination projects that improve
access to healthcare.
Applications due: November 13, 2018
FTA’s Access and Mobility Partnership Grants focus on
transportation solutions to medical appointments and other non-emergency
healthcare services. The grants will help improve options for people with
limited transportation choices and bridge the gap between service providers
in the transportation and health sectors.
Funding is available under two programs: the Innovative
Coordinated Access and Mobility (ICAM) Pilot Program, which supports
projects focused on non-emergency healthcare travel needs, and the Human
Services Coordination Research (HSCR) program, which funds research to
reduce gaps in services to provide safe, affordable and reliable mobility
options to seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals.
