The Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) is a federal interagency council that works to coordinate funding and implement activities that improve the availability, accessibility, and efficiency of transportation for people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals of low income. The CCAM’s work is bolstered by a number of technical assistance (TA) partnerships, which are funded by CCAM partner agencies, that support the provision and coordination of transportation services and promote the mobility of the CCAM’s target populations with a range of services.
