Virtual public workshops

The Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (49 USC, Section 5310) is also known as the FTA 5310 Program and is intended to fully integrate with other federal, state, and local resources and programs that are designed to serve similar populations. This is done through regionally developed public transportation coordination plans and public workshops.

The public workshops provide an opportunity to gather input from a group of local stakeholders and the public to assist TxDOT in making decisions regarding the Federal Funding for the 5310 Program and identify how we can best use our resources to serve the mobility needs of the community. We are seeking the participation of, seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human service providers, and other members of the public who share TxDOT’s goal of improving the local mobility services for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Regional public workshops were held in December 2022 and January 2023. The comment period for the virtual public workshops closed on Jan. 19, 2023. A workshop summary will be available in winter of 2023. You can view materials from the workshops here:
