The NYS Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) is offering funds for localities throughout NYS to implement innovative transportation projects that support people with DD to better access their communities. Applicants can apply for between $2,000 and $10,000 to put towards improving transportation for individuals with IDD. Proposals should focus on one of the following areas: Accessibility - Increasing access to transportation.
Accessibility should be considered broadly. Accessibility could include improvement to any element which would discourage people with IDD from accessing a transportation mode or service. Education and Advocacy - Increasing knowledge of transportation options, rights and/or “how-to” information.
Education could be focused on one or multiple stakeholders. This could include but is not limited to people with IDD, families and caregivers of people with IDD, DD providers, transportation professionals or policymakers. Local/Regional Collaboration - Building partnerships, connections, and/or alliances between community partners working toward measurable improved transportation outcomes for people with IDD.
Focus Area 1: Accessibility Description: The NYS CDD is seeking grant proposals to increase the accessibility of transportation for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Accessibility should be considered broadly.
It could be physical accessibility (i.e., the addition of an adaptive handgrip to the local bus), emotional accessibility (i.e., creating outreach and space that helps people with IDD feel safe and welcome), cognitive accessibility (i.e., creation of easy-read or plain language resources) or functional accessibility (i.e., updates to a product or process which make them easier to understand or use).
These funds are intended to be used to fit the unique needs of your community. These funds are NOT intended to be used on accessibility needs already required by the ADA.
Examples of what grant funds could support include: Organizational staff time to carry out grant activities Resources to gather self-advocate contribution and input Resources for creating and updating items meant to improve access, such as adaptive lighting, no-slip materials, creation of easy-read resources, or updates to an app which increase understanding or useability Translation of materials into other languages (including braille and ASL) Subscriptions, platforms, or software to improve accessibility, such as digital/website accessibility checkers, platforms to ensure document accessibility, or software to add subtitles or closed captioning to materials.
Focus Area 2: Education and Advocacy Description: The NYS CDD is seeking grant proposals to increase knowledge and understanding about transportation options, usage, and/or rights. Education could be focused on one or multiple stakeholders.
For example, education focused on people with IDD might include ensuring people with IDD know their rights and are able to advocate for themselves or knowing what transportation options are available to them and how they can use them. Education for families and caregivers could be around raising outcome expectations for their loved ones or how to support their loved ones in using new transportation options.
Education for transportation professionals might be disability awareness training or effective communication skills. Education and advocacy for policymakers could focus on the needs and gaps in a community. These are not the only stakeholders who can be targeted by education and advocacy.
The important qualification is that the goal of the efforts is to improve transportation outcomes for people with IDD. These funds are intended to be used to fit the unique needs of your community.
Examples of what grant funds could support include: Organizational staff time to carry out grant activities Resources to gather self-advocate contribution and input Resources for creating and updating educational resources and materials Subscriptions for outreach platforms, such as Constant Contact or MailChimp Resources for communication and reach, such as virtual platform subscriptions like Zoom or Teams, or closed captioning services Translation and/or interpretation of materials into other languages (including braille and ASL) Resources for holding trainings or classes Focus Area 3: Local/Regional Collaboration Description: The CDD is seeking grant applications to build goal-oriented coalitions between community partners to improve transportation outcomes for people with IDD.
The coalition could take various forms such as a community of practice, collaborative, partnership, alliance, or committee. Community partners can include individuals (such as self-advocates and caregivers of people with IDD), community organizations, provider organizations, transportation organizations, or other relevant stakeholders. Coalitions built through these funds should have clear, specific goals and tangible deliverables .
These funds are intended to be used to fit the unique needs of your community.
Examples of what grant funds could support include: Organizational staff time to carry out grant activities Resources to gather self-advocate contribution and input Resources to convene meetings such as meeting materials, virtual platform subscriptions, or closed captioning services Resources to support the participation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in meetings (i.e. closed captioning, ASL, plain language, large print materials, etc.) Translation and/or interpretation of materials into other languages.

Flagship-pilot: large-scale demonstrations of CCAM (CCAM Partnership) is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: This flagship pilot is the culmination of the entire activity catalogue carried out by the CCAM Partnership since its launch in 2021. It will combine in one project the most promising CCAM use-cases across three key domains, with the technological advancements from all its R&I clusters [1] supporting and enabling CCAM systems and services towards market uptake. This action is expected to contribute to all the following outcomes: Large-scale demonstrations of inclusive, user-oriented, and well-integrated CCAM systems and services for people and goods in mixed traffic through Field Operational Tests (FOTs), Technology Pilots, and Living Labs, building upon advanced and emerging SAE Level 2 systems to move towards SAE Level 3 and 4 functionalities, at multiple test sites and corridors showcasing CCAM potential [2] , for a minimum of 12 months. Validation of enabling technologies that facilitate the extension of Operational Design Domains (ODDs) in large-scale operations and enhance perception performance under poor lighting and adverse weather conditions in large-scale demonstrations and pilots. Assessment of deployment readiness and demonstration of technological maturity focusing on their reliability, security, and real-world applicability. Identification of the remaining technological and societal development needs to accelerate deployment and drive user and societal demand. These demonstrations will strengthen the connection with users and society through a co-creative process, ensuring that technological developments align with real-world needs and societal expectations. Recommendations for regulatory action aimed at facilitating the deployment of Automated Vehicles (AVs) in Europe, by engaging with relevant policy and regulatory bodies. Identification and selection of viable business models for each of the use-cases explored per domain, aiming for continued operation after the flagship pilot through private investment or national/local public funding including mechanisms for transferability and replicability to enable a broader application of results to other cities and regions. Scope: CCAM solutions are expected to provide a more user-centred, inclusive mobility system that enhances safety, reduces congestion, lowers harmful emissions, and contributes to decarbonization. In addition, CCAM solutions enhance transport effectiveness, thereby strengthening Europe's competitiveness in the global mobility sector. Novel mobility services can enable seamless integration with existing services such as public transport and logistics, while higher levels of automation are expected to boost transport productivity and efficiency. However, the benefits of these solutions must be proven through large-scale demonstrations, validating their effectiveness for both people and goods. It is also of key importance to integrate and test enabling vehicle technologies and to validate trusted communication and cyber security, as well as real time information transmission. Moreover, a comprehensive assessment of technology maturity is necessary, evaluating the readiness of automated driving functions within mixed traffic conditions and in confined areas. This evaluation helps determine the readiness of automation technologies for deployment, considering factors such as operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and user acceptance. By fostering a systematic approach to large-scale demonstrations, technology validation, and maturity assessment, and by prioritising zero-emission mobility, these efforts contribute to the seamless integration of CCAM solutions across the entire public and private transport ecosystem. The proposed action is expected to demonstrate different CCAM solutions and technologies in all the following domains: Individual mobility within mixed traffic environments, encompassing urban, suburban, motorway, and rural settings, with a focus on the seamless integration of automated and conventional vehicles.

Geopolitical competition and socioeconomic resilience in CCAM: an innovation and policy roadmap for EU leadership (CCAM Partnership) is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: Assessment of Europe’s CCAM position in global competition, identifying strategic vulnerabilities, dependencies and opportunities across business models, supply chains, critical components, technological capabilities, infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks, supported by advanced AI-driven analytics and innovation mapping tools. Stakeholder-driven, participatory future scenarios and strategic pathways that define Europe’s leading role in the evolving geopolitical, technological, and economic landscape of CCAM. These should be developed using advanced foresight methods ( e.g. qualitative scenarios, horizon scanning, technology roadmapping, etc.), complemented by iterative validation through a minimum of 3 dedicated Living Labs selected to represent diverse European regions, urbanisation levels, and governance capacities, ensuring a structured, robust, and anticipatory approach to long-term decision-making. A data-driven understanding of the socioeconomic effects of different CCAM deployment pathways, based on a quantified assessment across Member States and Associated Countries, economic sectors, and demographic groups, at national and cross-national levels, using innovative, integrated economic-transport modelling that captures dynamic interactions, systemic feedback loops, and long-term impacts. Socioeconomic effects may include, but are not limited to, employment and growth aspects, equity, and transport poverty. Robust governance models, policies and business strategies (including for SMEs and micro-enterprises) that strengthen Europe’s leadership, economic resilience, and market positioning in CCAM, developed through interdisciplinary methods combining policy analysis, institutional diagnostics, and scenario-based stress testing, to ensure robustness under diverse future geopolitical and economic conditions. These should identify viable business cases, recommend sectoral R&D priorities, and support innovation scaling for both public and private entities. Additionally, they should ensure long-term adaptability to geopolitical and market uncertainties, promote equitable growth, reduce external dependencies, and mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities, all while promoting sustainable growth. Ensuring close coordination and synergies the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance (ECAVA), in particular the autonomous driving roadmap, announced by the European Automotive Action Plan. Scope: CCAM is a key area of global competition and one of the five pillars of the European Automotive Action Plan for the automotive sector, aimed at helping the industry regain its leadership in the shift towards smarter (AI-powered), cleaner, and more connected vehicles, However, CCAM deployment is shaped by evolving geopolitical dynamics, rapid technological advancements, and economic uncertainties. Europe must secure its leadership in CCAM and strengthen its socioeconomic resilience by continuously addressing vulnerabilities and identifying robust pathways for policy development and market deployment. This topic will assess the global geopolitical landscape of CCAM innovation, map future pathways, and develop evidence-based strategies for policymakers, businesses, and investors. The results will support robust, future-proof policies, business strategies, and investment frameworks, ensuring a resilient, inclusive, and competitive European CCAM ecosystem. Proposed actions are expected to address all of the following aspects: Conduct a comprehensive geopolitical and economic analysis of CCAM to map Europe’s strategic position in global competition. Identify vulnerabilities, dependencies and opportunities in business models, supply chains, critical raw materials, technological capabilities, digital and physical infrastructure, validation processes, safety benchmarks, and pricing strategies, supported by AI-driven analytics and innovatio Programme areas: Horizon Europe (HORIZON), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Climate, Energy and Mobility, Industrial Competitiveness in Transport, Clean, Safe and Accessible Transport and Mobility, Smart Mobility
