The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is offering the Bus and Bus Facilities Livability Initiative: Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) Grant. This grant aims to provide approximately $30 million in funding to state and local governmental agencies. Its primary purpose is to support the creation, expansion, or enhanced access to local One-Call/One-Click Transportation Resource Centers. These centers are designed to simplify transportation access for veterans, service members, military families, persons with disabilities, and other transportation-disadvantaged populations including older adults and low-income individuals. The grant covers capital costs for these centers and some research to demonstrate successful implementation, fostering better connectivity to various local transportation options.
