The Mobility 4 All (M4A) program is a regional initiative by the RTA to improve transit, with a focus on people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with limited incomes. This program aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability or income, has access to safe, reliable, and affordable transportation services to get where they need to go in the four-county region.
The four-county region is Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties, including the City of Detroit.
M4A Helps All of Us and Our Community
Transportation is more than just a way to get around—it’s a gateway to opportunity. For many in our region, access to reliable transportation means participating in social activities, attending medical appointments, or finding employment. M4A focuses on three groups of people who have needs that other transportation services may not cater to:
People with Disabilities
Attend public meetings, committee meetings, or engagements to share your needs and suggestions. Engage with the RTA in our surveys!
Older Adults
M4A allows seniors to maintain independence and stay connected to their communities through accessible transit.
Limited Incomes
M4A advances affordable transportation solutions that reduce financial barriers to mobility.
MyRide2
MyRide2 is the region’s transit navigation assistance service. Need help finding transportation or learning how to board and pay fare? MyRide2 is one call or click away. Programs like MyRide2 are supported by M4A.
2025 Mobility 4 All Plan
The 2025 Mobility 4 All (M4A) Plan identifies opportunities to address regional transportation issues and better meet riders’ needs, enabling people to commute to work, medical appointments, and other daily activities.
These opportunities, presented as a series of goals and recommendations, will guide improvements to the delivery
of the RTA’s Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (CHSTP) over the next five years by prioritizing transportation projects for funding and implementation across Southeast Michigan.

M4A Program Management PlanAbout Mobility 4 All
RTA and regional partners maintain the Mobility 4 All (M4A) plan. This plan coordinates our resources, energy, and strategies to coordinate transportation access for older adults, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes.
M4A fulfills requirements laid out by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for a Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (CHSTP) and ensures the region has access to available federal and state funds. The M4A Plan is required for federal Transportation for Elderly Persons & Persons with Disabilities funding (FTA Section 5310). The goals and strategies of the M4A Plan are used to determine project selection and funding under the M4A Funding Program.
The Mobility 4 All program offers funding opportunities for local agencies, nonprofits and transportation providers that align with the program’s goals to improve existing services, increase connectivity of transit services, simplify transit use, and grow healthcare transit while preparing resources for the future.
