National Center for Mobility Management

Federal Transit Administration (FTA), as the primary staff agency to the Federal Interagency Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) is releasing an Announcement of Funding Opportunities (Announcement) to promote mobility management - a customer-focused approach to transportation service delivery. FTA, under its National Research Program, plans to fund a National Center for Mobility Management (NCMM) which will carry-out activities to further mobility management and to improve and enhance the coordination of Federal resources for human service transportation. This solicitation seeks proposals from national non-profit organizations with transportation and/or mobility management experience which have the capacity to deliver a national technical assistance program. The selected organization will implement and manage the National Center for Mobility Management.FTA intends to fund the NCMM at $1,800,000 for the first year. FTA may extend funding for this Center for up to five (5) years; however, subsequent funding will depend upon: 1) decisions and program priorities established by the Secretary of Transportation related to the implementation of provisions set forth in Section 5314, Technical Assistance and Standards, of the newly-reauthorized Public Transportation Program contained within Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21); 2) future appropriations; and, 3) annual performance reviews. Furthermore, additional funding may be provided to the NCMM by other CCAM members to support mobility management and coordinated transportation priorities.
