Butterfli Technologies Secures Third Year Funding for Access for All Program
In a significant stride towards inclusive mobility, Butterfli Technologies, Inc. has announced the successful acquisition of funds from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for its Access for All (AFA) grant program for the third consecutive year. This initiative is pivotal in reinforcing the shared commitment to provide equitable transportation solutions specifically tailored for individuals with mobility challenges residing in the Los Angeles region.
The AFA Program is designed with the intent to vastly improve the availability of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV), catering to both demand-responsive and scheduled transportation services. As Butterfli embarks on its third year of operation under this program, which officially began in September 2025, the focus remains steadfast on delivering safe, secure, and reliable transport services that prioritize customer sensitivity.
Key to the AFA Program's mission is the empowerment of community members with disabilities, who often face significant barriers in accessing transportation that aligns with their needs. This initiative not only fosters independence among eligible riders but also facilitates essential access to various resources, ultimately allowing them to engage more comprehensively in their daily activities.
Commenting on the achievement, Delilah Lanoix Harris, CEO of Butterfli, expressed, "We are honored to be a trusted partner for the Access for All Program, creating equity in mobility options." This statement underscores Butterfli’s dedication not only to the logistical aspects of transportation but also to enhancing the overall quality of life for its riders.
