Community Spec is currently soliciting applicants for the 2010 Federal Transit Administration Over the Road Bus Accessibility Grant Program, which is a wheelchair lift grant.
The Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility program provides funding that may be used by private operators of over-the-road buses to finance costs of meeting the accessibility specifications required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
January 21: The US Department of Transportation formally announced the availability of funds for Over The Road Bus Accessibility grants. The authorizing legislation calls for national solicitation of applications with grantees to be selected on a competitive basis. Federal transit funds are available to intercity fixed route providers and other OTRB providers at up to 90 percent of the project cost. A total of $8,800,000 has been appropriated for the program in FY 2009. FY 2006 funds have lapsed in the amount of $1,867,900. The total amount available for allocation is $10,710,43, which includes FY 2009 appropriations and lapsed funds.
