The FTA Section 5310 Vehicle Capital Program supports the purchase of transit buses, minivans and full-size vans for transportation services for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) administers this Federal Transit Administration funding as part of the Public Transit Participation Program.
The opportunity focuses on vehicle purchases rather than a broader range of transit expenses. It draws on Formula Grants for Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities funding to help eligible organizations acquire vehicles for those services.
