Comprehensive Transportation Projects
Specialized Transportation
Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan
The Coordinated Plan combines the regional requirement for a Short-Range Transit Plan with the federal requirement for a Coordinated Plan into one planning document.
The Coordinated Plan identifies the transportation needs of seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income persons; evaluates regional transit services; assesses available social services transportation; and establishes strategies to fill transportation gaps and meet the identified unmet transportation needs of transportation disadvantaged population groups.

Specialized Transportation Grant Program
The SANDAG Specialized Transportation Grant Program (STGP) funds projects and programs that expand mobility options for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Funding for the STGP comes from two sources: the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 program and the TransNet Senior Mini-Grant program.
Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, purchase of accessible vans and buses, coordinated volunteer driver programs, shopping shuttle services, non-emergency medical trips, and transit travel training classes.
Approximately every two years, SANDAG conducts a competitive process to award funding to eligible programs and projects.
