49 USC Section 5310 - Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities provides formula funding to states for the purpose of assisting private nonprofit groups in meeting the transportation needs of older adults and people with disabilities when the transportation service provided is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate to meeting these needs. Section 5311 - Non-Urbanized area formula program provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states and federally recognized Indian tribes to support public transportation in rural areas with populations less than 50,000, where many residents often rely on public transit to reach their destinations. It also provides funding for state and national training and technical assistance through the Rural Transportation Assistance Program.

The total number of burden hours associated with this request is 45,087, representing an increase of 24,205 hours from the previous request of 20,882 hours. The increase is due to three factors; 1.) An increase in the number of Section 5310 applicants due to a change in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act. MAP-21 changed the eligible recipients for Section 5310 from only states to states and designated recipients in urbanized areas, greatly increasing the number of applicants; 2.) The addition of a pilot discretionary grant program under the Section 5310 program in the FAST Act; and 3.) An increase in the number of Indian Tribes participating in the Tribal Transit program.
