FY24 Community Transit Grant Program Vehicle Cycle Schedule

September 21, 2023

MassDOT Rail and Transit is pleased to announce the schedule for our next round of applications for wheelchair-accessible vehicles, opening November 28. Regional Transit Authorities, nonprofits, municipalities, and private operators of public transit (shared-ride) services will be eligible to apply for fully accessible vehicles to expand mobility for older adults and people with disabilities through MassDOT's Community Transit Grant Program (CTGP).

Please note that while MassDOT offers grants for operating and mobility management projects as well as vehicles through the Community Transit Grant Program, only the vehicle application will be opening in November. Applications for FY24 operating and mobility management projects were due in June 2023.
