All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP)

General Grant Program Information

The main purpose of the All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) is to providing funding to States (including territories and Washington, D.C.) and local governmental authorities to help finance capital projects to upgrade the accessibility of legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems (e.g., subway, commuter rail, light rail) for persons with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs, by increasing the number of existing stations or facilities that are fully accessible.

FTA intends to target funding for: (1) capital projects to repair, improve, modify, retrofit, or relocate infrastructure of stations or facilities for passenger use, including load-bearing members that are an essential part of the structural frame; or (2) for planning projects to develop or modify a plan for public transportation accessibility projects; accessibility assessments; or assessments of planned modifications to stations or facilities for passenger use.
