[HealthyTribes] Community Grants available through ODOT Innovative Mobility Program

[Droge Emily]

Hello!

OHA-PHD and the Community Engagement Team are pleased to partner with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in helping to spread the word about a new grant funding opportunity called the "Innovative Mobility Program."

ODOT's Innovative Mobility Program (IMP) seeks to improve access to public transportation, reduce the number of trips Oregonians make by car, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The IMP focuses on social equity and helping historically excluded groups get where they need to go more quickly, cheaply, and safely. The program has $20 million available for grants, contracts, and administration from 2022-25.

For more information, please see: 1) one-pager in English and Spanish (attached); and 2) IMP website: Oregon Department of Transportation : Innovative Mobility Program : Public Transportation : State of Oregon<https://www.oregon.gov/odot/RPTD/Pages/Innovative-Mobility-Program.aspx>

The website includes an application form for currently available $5,000 micro-grants; with information to be released about larger grants later this fall.

In addition, please see the following survey designed to help ODOT better understand the transportation needs of people who have been underserved by our transportation system and help further develop the new Innovative Mobility Program.
