Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), Public Transportation Section, works to promote Public Transportation by providing both financial and technical assistance to transit agencies and transit projects in the state.  The Public Transportation Section is responsible for transit planning and the administration of capital and operating assistance in both urbanized and rural areas throughout the state. The Public Transportation Section consists of three Offices (Grants Administration, Compliance, Mobility and Accessible Transportation) each of which has specific areas of responsibilities.

Through the promotion of efficient transit systems and coordination of all available resources, the TDOT Public Transportation Section seeks to maximize the customer service potential of all agencies offering transit services to residents of Tennessee. TDOT remains committed to a high standard of excellence and dependability in the provision of research and technical assistance in all aspects of public transportation.

TDOT, Public Transportation Section also proudly sponsors other transit programs and transit-related activities throughout Tennessee.  The Public Transportation Section offers capital assistance through the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section 5310 Program, which provides transportation services to seniors and individuals with disabilities.
