The New Freedom program (Section 5317) provided grants for new capital and operating projects aimed at reducing, beyond the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, transportation barriers faced by individuals with disabilities to expand mobility through transportation, including transportation to and from jobs and employment support services. The New Freedom Program was repealed under MAP-21; however, New Freedom type projects are eligible for funding under the new Section 5310 Program (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program – Circular FTA C 9070.1G).

It is expected that current New Freedom Projects will continue to expand accessible transportation options for people with disabilities to enhance their access to employment, education, healthcare and other life activities. New Freedom programs such as mobility management, expansions of service coverage/time, accessible infrastructure improvement, the proliferation of travel training programs, taxi voucher programs, and other above the ADA service will assist more people with disabilities to stay remain active in their communities of choice. Additionally, as these projects end, the innovations developed through those programs will inform additional projects that could be funded other formula grants such as Section 5310.
