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.
2025-2027 WSDOT Consolidated Grant
The goal of the Consolidated Grant is to improve transportation for people with mobility and accessibility needs. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) released the call for projects for the 2025-2027 biennium in June 2024 (for projects starting from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027). Please see the WSDOT Consolidated Grant website for details.
