New Freedom – Improve Access to Transit Application

MaineDOT is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) New Freedom Program. This competitive grant application is open to municipalities that have year-round fixed-route transit (bus service) and a demonstrated need to improve access to transit services for individuals with disabilities on municipal or state-owned property.

This project announcement is a unique collaboration among MaineDOT’s New Freedom Program, Quality Community Program, Civil Rights Office and the Traffic Engineering Division to leverage, to the greatest extent possible, state technical assistance and funding to deliver projects at the local level to meet the goals of the New Freedom Program. Projects funded under this program are intended to reduce barriers to transportation services and expand transportation mobility options for individuals with disabilities.
