NCST Person-Directed Mobility Management

Picture

Tompkins County Office for the Aging sponsored a grant application for NCST's Person-Directed Mobility Management request for proposals. The proposal was submitted on 12/23/2011. Contact Dwight Mengel with any questions.
  


Coming Soon! New Senior Transportation Grant Opportunity - Due December 23.

Picture
I participated in NCST’s telephone conference last week and got answers to several questions I had. About 270 people were on the call.

We need to pull together ideas for a proposal that fits the application objectives and criteria this week.  It is clear, this opportunity is to support mobility management and not fund direct transportation services.

I propose two meetings for interested people who can come. If you can make both meetings, please do.

The meetings are:

·         Today, Monday, Dec 12,  at 2:30-3:30 pm, Beverly Livesay Conference Room. County Human Services Building

·         Thurs. Dec 15, 3:30-4:30, Beverly Livesay Conference Room
 - Dwight Mengel 274-5605

-------------------------------------------------------
The National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST) announced a new grant opportunity very soon. Applications will be due December 23, 2011. Non-profit or local/regional/Tribal governmental agencies that plan, administer, or provide aging and/or transportation services may apply.

Projects funded under the solicitation will demonstrate innovative and effective solutions to enhance the mobility of older adults through person-centered mobility management. Four categories of projects will be funded:

  • Peer-mobility management and employment;
  • Mobility management in rural/frontier areas that have limited transportation options;
  • Holistic models that integrate mobility management within current practices, including options counseling, information and assistance and/or case management; and
  • Mobility management applied to the family of senior transportation options.
     
The NCST expects to award 8 grants, 2 in each of the categories listed above. Grants will be awarded for a maximum of $50,000.  Matching funds are not required. Grantees will be expected to complete their work in approximately 9 months. 

The focus of all the grants is on older adults, although projects may also target adults with disabilities. A focus on culturally and ethnically diverse older adults is strongly encouraged.

Older adults must be involved as key partners in the project. Applicants are also expected to work in collaboration with stakeholders in senior transportation and obtain letters of commitment from key partners.

To assure that you receive the announcement of the Request for Proposals when it is issued, please sign up for the NCST e-news.

Questions about this funding opportunity should be directed to Lynn Winchell-Mendy at (202) 872-0888 or lwinchellmendy@n4a.org.
