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.

Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Administration.
