FTA is making $30 million in funding available to support the Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative which will award grants to local transportation providers and other groups around the country so they can better coordinate and deliver important transit information through “one-call” or “one click” centers. Drawing on existing federal resources, and in consultation with advocates for veterans and people with disabilities, projects will be funded in urban, suburban, and rural communities around the nation to strengthen and promote “one-call” information centers and other tools that conveniently “connect the dots” as never before. As a result, these deserving men and women and their families may quickly and conveniently turn to trusted sources who have been specially trained to help them access local transportation options and other support services, ranging from workforce training to food pantry locations.
Applications are due September 16, 2011 and a copy of the Notice of Funding Availability can be found at
