CTD Allocation Study Website

In response to containment efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Commission has temporarily suspended public workshops. Information on upcoming workshops and/or web-based forums will be announced in the near future.

The Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged is launching a website that will provide all information relevant to the Trip and Equipment Grant Allocation Formula Study. We encourage stakeholders to begin exploring the website at: https://ctdallocationstudy.com/.

The website includes a summary of the study objectives and guiding principles to support the development of a new funding formula. It also provides information about the upcoming public workshops that will be held in March and April. In the coming weeks, the website will also provide data that is being analyzed within the study and potential funding models for consideration that will be discussed during the public workshops.

The website also includes a form and email address for participants to submit feedback on the information posted. Users who submit feedback will receive an email confirmation. We welcome participants to begin submitting feedback on the guiding principles
