Section 5310 is a formula grant assistance program for the enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities available from the Federal Transit Administration. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as well as KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission and the Tri-State Transit Authority (TTA) refer to this program as "the Section 5310 Program." FTA provides financial assistance for transportation services planned, designed, and carried out to meet the specialized transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities in all areas: urbanized, small urban, and rural. FTA, on behalf of the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, apportions the funds appropriated annually to the States and Urbanized Areas based on an administrative formula that considers the number of seniors and individuals with disabilities in a State or Urbanized Area (UZA). The program requires coordination with other federally assisted programs and services in order to make the most efficient use of Federal resources.
