All Stations Accessibility Program

What's New

  • On May 28, 2024, FTA announced that eight transit systems in eight states will receive a share of $343 million in funding to help make our nation’s oldest rail stations accessible through the All Stations Accessibility Program. By improving stations to ensure people with disabilities can get on board with the same ease as anyone else, we are taking a major step toward promoting equity in our transportation systems.
     
  • On December 19, 2023, FTA held a public webinar with information about the All Stations Accessibility Program and how to apply.

Overview

The All Stations Accessibility Program makes competitive funding available to assist in the financing of capital projects to repair, improve, modify, retrofit, or relocate infrastructure of stations or facilities to make all public areas of the station accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs.

Eligible Recipients

Eligible applicants for ASAP include designated recipients that allocate funds to legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems, states (including territories and Washington D.C.) or local governmental entities that operate legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems. 

Eligible Activities

Eligible activities are capital projects to upgrade the accessibility of legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems for people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs, by increasing the number of existing stations or facilities for passenger use that meet or exceed the new construction standards of title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12131). Activities include:

  • Repairing, improving, modifying, retrofitting, or relocating infrastructure of stations or facilities for passenger use, including load-bearing members that are an essential part of the structural frame;
