Specialized transportation serves older adults, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, youth, and other people with mobility and accessibility needs. Specialized transportation, such as ADA paratransit, demand-response vans, or volunteer transportation programs, fills gaps in the regional transit network and expands mobility options for people in the region.
2027-2029 WSDOT Consolidated Grant
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Consolidated Grant supports transportation services for people with mobility and accessibility needs. WSDOT has released the call for projects for the 2027-2029 biennium (July 1, 2027-June 30, 2029). Please visit the WSDOT Consolidated Grant Program website for details.
