The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) announces the availability of applications for the FY2014 and FY2015 Special Transportation Formula Fund. Sponsored by the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Public Transit Division, this program funds transportation services benefiting the elderly and people with disabilities. Eligible applicants are public and private non-profit agencies with managerial and financial capability providing transportation services for the elderly and people with disabilities.
