Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority Awarded $198,000 Digital Equity Grant to Enhance Transportation Access for Older Adults – Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority
The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA), in collaboration with COAST (Councils on Aging Serving Together), has been awarded a $198,000 Digital Equity Grant to improve transportation accessibility for older individuals who are unable to use mobile apps.
The grant will fund the development of a dedicated call-in service, enabling older adults to arrange CCRTA’s SmartDART, an on-demand, app-based service, without relying on digital payment methods or technology-heavy processes. This initiative is part of a broader effort to bridge the digital divide and ensure equitable access to public transit for all members of the community, particularly older adults who may face barriers to using modern technology.
