Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL CIP DNTC 0233
The Strengthening Coordinated Transportation Systems for People with Disabilities and Older Adults grant opportunity (HHS 2017 ACL CIP DNTC 0233) is a discretionary, five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is designed to expand and deepen national efforts that help states and local communities build transportation systems that are better coordinated, more inclusive, and more responsive to the real-world needs of older adults and people with disabilities. Rather than starting from scratch, the project is meant to build on progress achieved over the prior five years and scale up proven models, tools, and strategies that have already shown results.
At its core, the opportunity focuses on ensuring that people with disabilities and older adults are not just recipients of transportation services, but active partners in shaping how coordinated transportation systems are planned, implemented, and improved. The funded project is expected to strengthen the structures and relationships that support meaningful inclusion, including partnerships across agencies and sectors involved in transportation policy and service delivery. This includes helping communities move beyond fragmented services toward coordinated approaches that can better address access barriers and improve mobility outcomes.
A major emphasis of the project is national peer-to-peer networking and capacity building. The successful applicant is expected to continue developing and expanding peer networks that allow practitioners, community leaders, advocates, and stakeholders to share practical knowledge, learn from one another, and spread workable solutions. This peer-to-peer model is intended to accelerate learning across jurisdictions by making it easier to replicate effective practices, troubleshoot common challenges, and build local capacity without every community having to reinvent the wheel.
Another central element is the design and administration of a small grants demonstration program at the community level. Through these smaller awards, the project is meant to stimulate hands-on, on-the-ground improvements in inclusive transportation planning and service provision. The idea is to encourage local innovation, test coordinated approaches in real settings, and generate lessons that can be applied more broadly. These demonstrations are not an end in themselves; they are meant to produce usable evidence, models, and implementation insights that other communities can adopt.
The grant also places strong weight on evaluation, continuous improvement, and dissemination. The awardee must work closely with ACL to develop a detailed evaluation plan that goes beyond basic reporting and helps measure what is working, for whom, and under what conditions. This includes strengthening and refining evaluation methods over time, using findings to improve program strategies, and documenting outcomes in ways that are credible and useful to the field. Alongside evaluation, the project must expand dissemination activities so that what is learned is shared widely, translated into practical guidance, and made accessible to stakeholders nationwide.
Finally, the opportunity calls for collecting and synthesizing information on new and emerging practices in the field. This means actively tracking developments, identifying promising approaches as they appear, and integrating that information into the project’s knowledge-sharing and dissemination efforts. The overall intent is to keep the work current and responsive as transportation technology, service models, and community needs evolve.
In terms of funding details, ACL anticipated making a single award with a ceiling of $1,000,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement during the project period, including collaboration on evaluation and other key components.
