Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2024 006 TPM ICAM
The FY 2024 Competitive Funding Opportunity: Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility Pilot Program (ICAM) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It makes available $4.7 million in competitive funding (sourced from FY 2023 funds) to support pilot efforts that improve how transit and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) are coordinated for people who face the biggest transportation barriers. The core purpose is to finance innovative capital projects that make services easier to access and better aligned across providers, with a particular focus on older adults, people with disabilities, and people with low income.
ICAM is framed as a pilot program, meaning the emphasis is on practical, testable approaches that can demonstrate improved coordination and more efficient delivery of trips and services across a region or statewide area. The program is specifically aimed at solving longstanding coordination problems between public transportation and NEMT systems, such as fragmented scheduling, duplicated services, confusing eligibility pathways, and misaligned funding and cost accounting across agencies. By funding capital investments tied to coordination, the program is designed to help communities build the infrastructure, tools, and systems needed to integrate or better align services rather than simply adding more service in an uncoordinated way.
Funding is awarded competitively, consistent with federal public transportation law and subject to appropriations. The opportunity is listed under FTA Opportunity Number FTA 2024 006 TPM ICAM, with assistance listing CFDA 20.513, and it is categorized as a transportation grant. The application deadline listed for the original closing date is February 13, 2024. FTA anticipates making around 20 awards under this opportunity, and the notice does not specify an award ceiling amount (the listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates no fixed maximum is stated in the summary information).
Eligibility is centered on entities that can operate or directly implement public transportation-related coordination pilots at a meaningful scale. Eligible applicants include State departments of transportation, designated recipients for Section 5310 funds (a program that supports mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities), and local governmental entities that operate a public transportation service. Eligible subrecipients may also participate, but they must have the authority and technical capacity to implement a regional or statewide cost allocation pilot, which signals that FTA is looking for applicants capable of handling the operational and administrative complexity of multi-provider coordination, including how costs are assigned and reimbursed across partners.
The opportunity also clarifies how certain private providers may participate. Private entities that provide shared-ride, on-demand service to the general public on a regular basis are considered operators of public transportation and therefore may be eligible subrecipients. In contrast, organizations that do not operate public transportation are not eligible applicants. The listing also indicates eligible applicant types in a broad sense, including state governments, federally recognized Tribal governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions), as well as other entities, but the narrative eligibility language makes clear that the deciding factor is the applicant's role in operating public transportation and their capacity to implement a cost allocation pilot tied to coordinated access and mobility goals.
In practical terms, this funding opportunity is meant for public-sector transit agencies and their qualified partners who want to modernize and better coordinate the systems that connect transportation-disadvantaged riders to essential destinations, especially medical care, by investing in innovative, coordination-focused capital projects and pilots that can be evaluated and potentially scaled.Apply for FTA 2024 006 TPM ICAM
