ASAP Supports Station Accessibility
The Federal Transit Administration is seeking OMB approval to continue the information collection that supports the All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP). ASAP funds upgrades to legacy rail and fixed‑guideway stations—such as elevators, ramps, and level boarding—so stations are fully accessible and all passengers can use public transit independently and reliably.
Who Can Apply for ASAP Grants
Eligible applicants for ASAP are designated recipients that allocate funds to legacy rail fixed‑guideway public transportation systems, states (including territories and Washington, DC), or local governmental entities that operate legacy rail fixed‑guideway systems. The notice estimates 20 respondents, 40 annual responses, and a total annual burden of 280 hours, and requests comments by February 23, 2026 (OMB No. 2132-0582).
