SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The New Freedom Program (49 U.S.C. 

5317) was established to fund capital 

and operating expenses that support 

new public transportation services and 

public transportation alternatives 

beyond those required by the Americans 

with Disabilities Act (ADA), in order to 

assist individuals with disabilities with 

transportation, including transportation 

to and from jobs and employment 

support services. 

When developing guidance for the 

New Freedom program, FTA initially 

proposed that ‘‘new public 

transportation services’’ and ‘‘public 

transportation alternatives beyond those 

required by the ADA’’ be considered 

separate categories of service. (See 71 

FR 13456, Mar. 15, 2006.) Subsequent to
