CY 2010 Section 5310 grant application:

Revision 1 - updated 10/7/09

The Federal Section 5310 Program authorizes federal capital assistance grants to meet the special needs of elderly persons and persons with disabilities where public mass transportation services are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate.

The Federal Transit Administration distributes Section 5310 funding based on each state's share of the number of elderly persons and persons with disabilities within the United States. Indiana funds (roughly $2 million annually) are available for distribution on a 80% federal basis and 20% local (applicant) matching basis.

Eligible applicants include private non-profit organizations and public bodies that coordinate specialized transportation services. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) solicits Section 5310 applications, selects projects, executes grant awards, buys equipment and monitors vehicle operation. Receiving a vehicle under the Section 5310 program is a lengthy process and may take up to two years from application to receipt of vehicle.

The Section 5310 State Management Plan is designed to assist current and potential grant recipients in fulfilling the various requirements of receiving federal financial assistance in accordance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 9070.1F. Its purpose is to outline the Indiana Department of Transportation's (INDOT's) plan for administering the Section 5310 program and as a source of guidance to current grantees and interested parties.
