The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has announced the availability of $343 million in fiscal-year 2024 federal funding to help make transit more accessible.
Hundreds of transit stations built before 1990 — known as legacy stations — are not accessible to people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), FTA officials said in a press release.
Funding is available through FTA's All Stations Accessibility Program, which supports upgrades to subway, commuter-rail and light-rail systems to meet the ADA standards.
Grant applications are due Jan. 30, 2024.
"Public transit ought to be reliable, safe, and accessible for anyone who wants to use it," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "Through President Biden's infrastructure package, we are proud to open applications for another round of grants so that people with disabilities or those with limited mobility can better access transit stations."
