Cobb County was one of 11 recipients of federal grants awarded this month through the Atlanta Regional Commission to fund transportation programs that serve people who don’t drive because of age, disability or because they cannot afford a car.
Cobb’s portion, $528,850, will be used to develop a voucher program for disabled residents between the ages of 18 and 59 who live outside the county's bus service areas, including people who lost their paratransit service last year due to budget cuts.
The funding is part of the Federal Transit Administration’s grant programs and is distributed annually.
