This is a program of grants to help private operators of over-the-road buses finance a portion of their costs in complying with unique aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act that pertain to these vehicles and their operations. All of these funds ($7 million annually) are awarded through annual competitive grants, a portion of which go to operators of scheduled intercity bus services, and the remainder of which go to charter, tour and other non-scheduled over-the-road bus operators.
