2023 Ready-to-Launch Grants

A huge congratulations to our 2023 Ready-to-Launch grantees!   

Funded by the Federal Transit Administration, the 2023 Ready-to-Launch Grants will allow communities to pilot a promising mobility solution, the development of which was inspired and informed by the results of community research. The solution also will address transportation equity with regard to low-income, elderly, and/or underserved individuals. Read our press release about our grant recipients.
