What is the Transportation Disadvantaged Program?
The Transportation Disadvantaged Program is sponsored by the State of Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund.
Its mission is to ensure the availability of efficient, cost-effective, and quality transportation services for individuals who are unable to transport themselves due to physical or mental disability, income limitations, age, or other qualifying conditions.
These services help residents access essential needs such as health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, and other life-sustaining activities. The program also serves children who are handicapped, high-risk, or at-risk, as defined in Section 411.202, Florida Statutes.
MPO Responsibilities
