Applicants can apply for up to $10,000 to put towards improving transportation for people with DD.
- Accessibility Increasing access to transportation. Accessibility should be considered broadly. Accessibility could include improvement to any element which would discourage people with DD from accessing a transportation mode or service.

This could include but is not limited to people with DD, families and caregivers of people with DD, DD providers, transportation professionals or policymakers.
