Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5310—
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and
Individuals with Disabilities Program &
Section 5311—Nonurbananized Area
Formula Programs.
OMB Number: 2132–0550.
Background: 49 U.S.C. 5310
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and
Individuals with Disabilities Program
provides formula funding to states and
designated recipients to meet the
transportation needs of older adults and
people with disabilities when the
transportation service provided is
unavailable, insufficient, or
inappropriate to meeting these needs.
Funds are apportioned based on each
state’s share of the population for these
two groups. Formula funds are
apportioned to designated recipients; for
rural and small urban areas, this is the
state Department of Transportation or a
local government entity that operates a
public transportation service, while in
large urban areas, a designated recipient
is chosen by the governor. Designated
recipients have flexibility in how they
select subrecipient projects for funding,
but their decision process must be
clearly noted in a state/program
management plan. The selection process
may be formula-based, competitive or
discretionary, and subrecipients can
include states or local government
authorities, private non-profit
organizations, and/or operators of
public transportation. The program aims
to improve mobility for older adults and
people with disabilities by removing
barriers to transportation service and
expanding transportation mobility
options. This program supports
transportation services planned,
designed, and carried out to meet the
special transportation needs of seniors
and individuals with disabilities in all
areas—large urbanized (over 200,000),
small urbanized (50,000–200,000), and
rural (under 50,000). Eligible projects

include both ‘‘traditional’’ capital
investment and ‘‘nontraditional’’ capital
or operating investment beyond the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
complementary paratransit services.
49 U.S.C. 5311—Formula Grants for
Rural Areas Program provides capital,
planning, and operating assistance to
states to support public transportation
in rural areas with populations of less
than 50,000, where many residents often
rely on public transit to reach their
destinations. The program also provides
funding for state and national training
and technical assistance through the
Rural Transportation Assistance
Program. Eligible direct recipients are
States and Indian Tribes. Eligible
subrecipients include states and local
governmental authorities, nonprofit
organizations, and operators of public
transportation or intercity bus service.
The Tribal Transit program provides
funding directly to federally recognized
Indian Tribes for capital, operating, and
planning purposes, through a formula
and a competitive program.
Respondents: States or local
governmental entities that operate a
public transportation service, federally
recognized Indian Tribes, and
designated recipients; or eligible
subrecipients.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 523 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
54,727 hours.
Frequency: Annual.

Background: Transit Asset

and establish performance measures in
order to help agencies keep their
systems operating smoothly and
efficiently. FTA’s TAM rule requires
transit agencies to develop a compliant
TAM plan, set performance targets for
capital assets, create data and narrative
reports on performance measures, and
coordinate with their planning partners.
Transit agencies are required to submit
their performance measures and targets
to the National Transit Database.
