Pima Association of Governments, working closely with the federal "United We Ride" and "Arizona Rides" initiatives, developed the Public Transit-Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan. This plan was adopted by the PAG Regional Council on May 24, 2007. Human service agencies were actively involved in identifying regional human service transportation needs and developing strategies to meet these needs.

Three federal grant opportunities provide annual funding for implementing these strategies and specific projects identifed by the coordinated process. 

• Elderly and Persons with Disabilities Transportation Program, known as Section 5310, assists non-profit agencies in acquiring vehicles to transport elderly and disabled clients.
• Job Access and Reverse Commute Formula Grants, known as JARC or Section 5316, assist in the development and maintenance of transportation services designed to transport welfare recipients and low income individuals to jobs and activities related to employment.
• The New Freedom Program, known as Section 5317, provides funding for public transportation services and alternatives beyond that required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

All three of these grant programs are intended to increase mobility options in the region for the elderly, persons with disabilites and low-income individuals.
