Paratransit/Special Needs and Rural Mobility formula grants
These transit formula grants sustain and expand services to people with disabilities, seniors, children, and people living in rural areas.
Paratransit/Special Needs
Paratransit/Special Needs formula grants assist transit agencies around the state in sustaining and expanding services to people with disabilities, including seniors and children.
This grant is supported by state funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA) (55.5 percent).

Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.
This grant is also supported by funding from the Multimodal Account (44.5 percent).
