INTRODUCTION

The Transportation Accessibility and Mobility Program (TAMP) is a state-funded pilot program established to address accessibility, mobility, and transportation insecurity in five South Jersey counties (Atlantic, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem).

The Department of Transportation recognizes that some individuals are affected by inflexible, unreliable transportation options or no practical options. The United Way describes some of these individuals as ALICE – Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These individuals are employed but are unable to afford basic necessities including transportation.

This program seeks innovative and impactful projects that will address transportation gaps in the region and help meet the needs of individuals experiencing transportation insecurity. Proposals must align with the following program criteria.

Accessibility Enhancement: Projects that focus on improving accessibility where limited access exists.
Service Expansion: Projects that aim to increase rider capacity and overall service expansion.
Efficiency and Flexibility: Initiatives that can address flexibility and efficiency by reducing travel and wait times.
Alternate Modes of Travel: Projects that support the development and implementation of alternate modes of transportation.

Qualified projects may include but are not limited to the development of accessible transportation, expansion of routes, implementation of ridesharing programs and the deployment of smart transportation technologies. We encourage partnerships among service providers, however the applicant must be a Local Public Agency (LPA).

Applications are due on November 15, 2024.
