Description
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT) Multimodal Planning Division administers this Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 program, also called the Coordinated Mobility Program. It supports transportation for adults age 65 and older and individuals with disabilities of any age. Funding can help purchase vehicles and equipment, maintain assets, operate transportation services and coordinate providers through mobility management.
The program aims to remove transportation barriers and expand travel options. Funded services can connect riders with medical appointments, meals, adult day care, social services, shopping, education and employment. Regional planning is central: projects are expected to address identified needs, coordinate with other providers and avoid duplicating services.
