Section 3038 – Over-the-Road Bus Program

Federal funds that are available to private operators of over-the-road bus services such as commuter, charter, and tour services, to fund the incremental capital and training costs associated with meeting the requirements of the U.S. DOT's over-the-road bus accessibility rule. Capital projects eligible for funding include adding lifts and other accessibility components to new vehicle purchases and purchasing lifts and associated components to retrofit existing vehicles. Eligible training costs include developing training materials or providing training for local providers of over-the-road bus services. This is a competitively-based, formula funded grant provided on a 90% federal/10% local match basis.
