Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2020 001 TPM
The Access and Mobility for All Pilot Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). For Fiscal Year 2020, the FTA announced that roughly $3.5 million would be available under this pilot program (CFDA 20.513), although the final availability of funds depends on Congress providing a full-year appropriation. The program is framed as a competitive funding opportunity, meaning proposals are reviewed against each other and awards are made to the strongest applications rather than being distributed by formula.
The core purpose of the program is to expand and improve mobility options for people who often face the biggest transportation barriers: older adults, individuals with disabilities, and people with low incomes. Rather than focusing on traditional service expansion alone, the program emphasizes "innovative coordination" and partnership-building. In practice, that means projects are expected to better connect and align transportation resources across agencies and providers so that riders can more easily reach essential community destinations and services, such as healthcare, employment, nutrition programs, education, and other critical supports.
A key feature of the funding is that it supports innovative capital projects designed to improve coordination between public transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). The goal is to reduce fragmentation between systems that may already exist in the same community but operate with different eligibility rules, scheduling methods, funding streams, or service areas. By encouraging coordinated strategies, the program aims to make transportation more seamless for riders, improve efficiency for providers, and strengthen access to medical and community services that depend on reliable trips.
Eligible applicants for this specific opportunity include state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary transportation funding. The notice was created on November 1, 2019, with an original application deadline of January 6, 2020. The announcement anticipated about 30 awards, and while an award ceiling is listed as zero in the source data, that typically reflects that no single maximum award amount was specified in the summary field rather than indicating that awards would be zero.
Overall, this pilot program is best understood as a targeted effort to fund practical, on-the-ground innovations that make transportation systems work better together, especially where improved coordination can directly increase access to healthcare and other vital services for underserved populations.Apply for FTA 2020 001 TPM
