Access 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 service for individuals with disabilities, including those who require wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs).

What SacRT Does as Local Access Fund Administrator

As the designated LAFA, SacRT is responsible for:

Ensuring on-demand WAV service is available in Sacramento County
Publishing a Call for Projects and managing the application process for service providers
Reviewing, evaluating and awarding funding to selected providers
Distributing Access for All funds to support WAV operations
Monitoring program performance through quarterly reporting
Engaging with the disability community, including regular updates to the Mobility Advisory Council (MAC)

Current Access Provider

SacRT Flex Microtransit was selected as the service provider to receive the Access for All program funds for cycle 5.

Award Amount: $3.7M for service between July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029

Service Scope: SacRT Flex microtransit service is delivered in partnership with Nomad Transit, LLC (a subsidiary of Via Transportation), and utilizes Access for All funds to provide on-demand wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) service in Sacramento County. SacRT Flex service increases the availability of WAV vehicles, improves reliability and wait times, and now offers on-demand WAV services on Saturday.

Future Access for All Funding

As the LAFA for Sacramento County, SacRT was awarded $928,325.50 in local access funds for Cycle 6, i.e., funding year 26-27.

SacRT will distribute these funds (less administrative fees) to a local access provider(s) through a competitive solicitation process on or before July 1, 2027.

SacRT is committed to inclusive outreach and regularly engages with the disability community to ensure the AFA program meets local needs. Feedback is welcomed and encouraged.
