Enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities - Section 5310
Virtual public involvement workshops
Dec. 3, 2024 through Jan. 10, 2025
The Texas Department of Transportation hosted a series of workshops across the state (scroll down for the full schedule and meeting links) on the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (49 USC, Section 5310), also known as the FTA 5310 Program. This program coordinates with other federal, state, and local resources and programs that are designed to serve similar populations. This is accomplished through regionally developed public transportation coordination plans and public workshops.
The public workshops provided an opportunity to gather input from a varied group of local stakeholders and the public to assist TxDOT in making decisions regarding the Federal Funding for the 5310 Program and identify how we can best use our resources to serve the mobility needs of the community. We sought the participation of, seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human service providers, and other members of the public who share TxDOT’s goal of improving the local mobility services for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Regional public workshops were held in December 2024 and January 2025. The comment period for the virtual public workshops closed on Jan. 17, 2025. You can view and download a summary report of the workshops by clicking on the link below:
