Availability of FTA Grants for Private Business


Q.  We are a very small town; not a city. I charge a reduced rate to the elderly. There are a lot of things needed to make my business a success. I'm lacking the money to invest. Is there any grant for women like me in transportation?
 
A.  FTA does not provide direct financial grants to private individuals or businesses. Instead, we suggest that you contract with your local transit agency or social services agency to provide transportation to their clients. In addition, you should also contact the U.S. Small Business Administration regarding funding availability for a small woman-owned business:  http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/onlinewbc/index.html
