The FTA Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program requires that any activity funded under this program be supported by a coordinated transportation plan. DRPT’s Coordinated Human Service Mobility Plan (CHSM) assesses current services and transportation needs of seniors and people with disabilities, identifies strategies to address service gaps, and sets priorities for project implementation. The plan includes significant outreach to riders and providers of human service transportation to capture unique challenges and opportunities.
When applying for Section 5310 funding through DRPT, applicants must demonstrate how their project aligns with the CHSM strategies and actions. This document can also be used to guide other transportation projects across the Commonwealth, and represents statewide and regional needs, challenges, and goals.
The plan was previously updated every three years, but starting in 2026, updates will occur on a four-year schedule.

The Plan Overview offers a high-level summary of the full plan, highlighting key goals, strategies, and findings. For those looking for more detail, the Final 2026 CHSM Plan includes both statewide analysis and supporting content that informs regional decision-making. The full Plan Appendix is also available as a separate PDF and provides additional technical information, data tables, and supporting documentation.
The 2026 CHSM Plan also features individual Regional Profiles that take a closer look at transportation conditions and demographics across different areas of the state. Each Regional Profile is available as a standalone PDF, along with an interactive StoryMap experience (coming soon). These StoryMaps include additional transportation and demographic data, allowing users to explore regional trends, maps, and insights in a more dynamic and engaging way.
