Action
Notice of request for proposals.
Summary
This solicitation is for states to submit proposals for the State Coordination Grants component of the United We Ride initiative (UWR). The intent of the UWR initiative is to break down the barriers among Federal programs as they relate to transportation and set the stage for local partnerships. State Coordination Grants may be used to assist states in (1) conducting a comprehensive state assessment using the UWR Framework for Action; (2) developing a comprehensive state action plan for Coordinating Human Service Transportation; or (3) for those states who already have a comprehensive state action plan, grants can be used for implementing one or more of the elements identified within the Framework for Action (for those states that have an established Action Plan). The UWR Framework for Action is a self-assessment tool for states and communities to conduct comprehensive state assessments to identify areas of success and highlight the actions still needed to improve the coordination of human service transportation. The self-assessment tool is designed to address the needs of people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with lower-incomes. For further information on the Framework for Action, please visit: www.fta.dot.gov.
