Purpose

The National Center for Mobility Management provides grants and technical assistance to support communities that are ready to take concrete steps toward implementing transportation solutions to help underserved residents become more fully engaged in economic opportunities, improve their health and well-being, and/or become more integrated into their community.

Program goals include:

  • Allow communities to pilot an innovative transportation solution that will allow underserved community members to become more fully engaged in economic opportunities, improve their health and well-being, and/or become more integrated into their community
  • Guide communities in using this pilot opportunity to test and confirm the feasibility of innovative transportation solutions in real-world applications and learn where these solutions need to be further revised
  • Provide communities with technical assistance throughout this pilot phase
  • Assist communities in preparing to seek funding for a full-scale roll-out of their solutions
  • Guide communities in gathering outcome data regarding their solution to use as they seek sustainable funding for long-term implementation

Funds may be used for activities such as:

  • Leasing or renting of vehicles and equipment necessary to implement the pilot
