The application period has been extended to May 1 for grants of up to $60,000 through the Idaho Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramp Program.
Local jurisdictions — cities, counties and highway districts — and tribal governments are eligible to submit an application. Funds will be used for construction in 2016.
The Idaho (ADA) Curb Ramp Program is a state-administered program providing funding for projects to build or correct curb ramps on the state highway system, which is the responsibility of the Idaho Transportation Department.
ITD is allocating $500,000 of state funds annually for this program. Applicants can qualify for up to $60,000 in state funding to construct new or alter existing curb ramps.
The goal of the program is to provide accessible facilities for pedestrians with disabilities while allowing local jurisdiction flexibility in meeting the required standards.
Applications are available on the ITD website at www.itd.idaho.gov, under the Bike/Pedestrian link on the left-hand side of the page and the ADA Curb Ramp Program. Interested parties may also call (208) 334-8168.
Completed applications should be sent to [email protected]
