Section 5310 Program Aids Mobility In July, the INCOG Board of Directors awarded nearly $1.75 million in funds to 12 agencies in the Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TTMA) from the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program, also known as the Section 5310 Program. The purpose of the 5310 Program is to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation service and expanding transportation mobility options. Local governments, Tribal Nations, and non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for funds under the 5310 Program. The following agencies received funding to purchase vehicles: A New Leaf, Rogers County Adult Day Center, Ki Bois Area Transit, Life Senior Services, MODUS, and Domestic Violence Intervention Services. The following agencies received funding for operating assistance: A New Leaf, Rogers County Adult Day Center, Ki Bois Area Transit, Life Senior Services, MODUS, Bridges Foundation, Blessings to Share, Gatesway Foundation, and Veterans Ride. "Out of all the grants and funding requests that we pursue, this one from INCOG has the biggest and most direct impact for our members and their quality of life. When our funds were depleted from the previous grant, we saw many unable to participate as much as they wanted to and even lost some of the independence that accessible transportation provides in their lives. I cannot express adequately just how thankful all of us here at the Blessings To Share Foundation are for this award." |
