Enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities - Section 5310 Enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities - Section 5310 Virtual public involvement workshops Dec. 3, 2024 through Jan.
10, 2025 The Texas Department of Transportation hosted a series of workshops across the state (scroll down for the full schedule and meeting links) on the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program ( 49 USC, Section 5310 ), also known as the FTA 5310 Program. This program coordinates with other federal, state, and local resources and programs that are designed to serve similar populations.
This is accomplished through regionally developed public transportation coordination plans and public workshops. The public workshops provided an opportunity to gather input from a varied group of local stakeholders and the public to assist TxDOT in making decisions regarding the Federal Funding for the 5310 Program and identify how we can best use our resources to serve the mobility needs of the community.
We sought the participation of, seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human service providers, and other members of the public who share TxDOT’s goal of improving the local mobility services for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Regional public workshops were held in December 2024 and January 2025.
The comment period for the virtual public workshops closed on Jan. 17, 2025.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The FY2026 Bus Safety, Accessibility, and Innovation Research Program closes September 28. Universities, agencies, and startups are all eligible to lead — but every team must include a transit vehicle manufacturer in a prominent role, and FTA already cancelled a nearly identical NOFO in 2024 without making a single award.
Read articleThe Federal Transit Administration issued its FY2026 notice of funding opportunity for the Buses and Bus Facilities and Low or No Emission programs: $21 million and $589 million respectively, due September 21, 2026 through Grants.gov. Two things changed that reshape who wins — the total is down roughly 70 percent from FY2025, and FTA states it intends to prioritize low-emission projects over zero-emission projects to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Read articleThe continuing resolution signed September 2, 2026 extended surface transportation authorities through December 11 — but left out the IIJA Division J advance appropriations that fund them. The authority survives; roughly $17.5 billion a year does not. Here is what changes October 1 and how applicants to live FTA and FRA competitions should respond.
