ENAccess for All Funding Program
Expanding Access to On-Demand Transportation for People with Disabilities
SacRT is proud to serve as the Local Access Fund Administrator (LAFA) for Sacramento County under the Access for All (AFA) Program, a statewide initiative developed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to implement Senate Bill 1376.
This program is designed to increase the availability of on-demand transportation for individuals with disabilities, including those who require wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs).
Cycle 5 Call for Projects Released:
SacRT is currently holding a competitive process to award funding to eligible applicants through the Access for All grant program. The Cycle 5 Call for Projects application period is open from December 10, 2025 through January 30, 2026, and funding recommendations are anticipated to be brought to the SacRT Board of Directors in spring 2026. Full funding for this cycle is approximately $3,759,338 for a three-year service period. Please view the detailed Call for Projects for more information about requirements and how to submit proposals.
Apply for Funding
Service providers interested in expanding WAV service in Sacramento County are encouraged to apply. Eligible service providers must directly provide, or contract with an entity to provide on-demand WAV transportation. “On-demand WAV transportation” is defined as meeting trip requests within 24 hours through a service that does not follow a fixed-route or schedule.
