Description
The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Innovative Mobility Program is a one-time initiative funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and State of Oregon dollars. It aims to improve under-resourced communities’ access to public and active transportation, reduce drive-alone trips, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Under-resourced communities include populations whose access to resources and opportunities has been limited by structural deficiencies related to age, disability, language, income, race or ethnicity, immigration status, or gender.
This competitive Capital and Equipment solicitation focuses specifically on purchases for microtransit/flexible shuttle and shared micromobility services. Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant and Carbon Reduction Program funds support vehicles, devices, and related equipment. Projects must demonstrate benefits for under-resourced communities and support the program’s transportation and climate objectives.
