The MassDOT Transit Division has announced that it will be holding remote trainings for its upcoming Community Transit Grant Program. The remote trainings have been scheduled in response to COVID-19.

The next round of the Community Transit Grant Program for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2021 will open in May. The Community Transit Grant Program is the consolidated competitive grant for Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities funds and State Mobility Assistance Program funds.

The trainings will cover program eligibility and requirements, the online application process, and tips for submitting a successful proposal.

The two online trainings are scheduled for:

  • Tuesday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Thursday, May 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

 

Attendance at one of the trainings is mandatory for all new applicants. Previous CTGP awardees are also welcome to join. Please RSVP to jennifer.n.henning@state.ma.us by Friday, May 1. A link to access the webinar will be emailed closer to the training date.

The application is scheduled to open on Friday, May 8 and close at 5 p.m. on June 26, and will be submitted through the MassDOT Transit Division’s online grants management system, GrantsPlus+.
