About transportation grants
Transportation grants fund mobility-related needs — vehicles, transit services, equipment, and operating costs — often to help nonprofits get vulnerable populations to jobs, healthcare, food, and community life. A large share of this funding flows through federal and state transportation programs administered locally, alongside foundation and corporate support. Many programs specifically target seniors, people with disabilities, and underserved or rural communities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do transportation grants fund?
Transportation grants can fund vehicles such as accessible vans and buses, mobility management, technology and scheduling systems, and in some cases the operating costs of providing rides. They commonly support services that connect people to medical care, employment, and essential destinations, especially where existing public transit is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable.
Who offers transportation grants for nonprofits?
A major federal source is the Federal Transit Administration's Section 5310 program (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities), which provides funding — distributed through states — for nonprofits serving older adults and people with disabilities, covering capital, mobility management, and certain operating expenses. Additional support comes from state departments of transportation, regional and metropolitan planning organizations, foundations, and corporate giving programs.
How do nonprofits apply for transportation funding?
For federal programs like FTA Section 5310, nonprofits typically apply through their state DOT or designated regional recipient, and projects often must be included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit–human services transportation plan. Because much federal transportation funding is passed through to states and localities, it's important to check your state's process, deadlines, and matching requirements; foundation and corporate transportation grants follow their own separate applications.
