Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities - Section 5310: 

The Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program provides formula funding to increase the mobility of seniors and persons with disabilities. Funds are apportioned to large, urbanized areas with a population of over 200,000 and to states (for all areas under 200,000). It is a program that is planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Section 5310 funding grants are distributed to the designated recipient, Fayetteville Area System of Transit (FAST), as well as entities designated as sub-recipients. These designated recipients and sub-recipients are responsible for administering the program.
