Introducing the Community Auto Program

On October 1, 2025, MDOD began implementing the Adapted Vehicle Access Pilot Program, which will operate until September 30, 2030.   

Branded as the Community Auto Program (CAP), CAP facilitates the donation of working, adapted vehicles to eligible individuals who do not qualify for other programs or financing to purchase adapted vehicles. 

To qualify, the recipient must: 
  1. Be an individual with a disability who uses a mobility aid;
  2. Be the vehicle's primary driver; 
  3. Possess a valid driver's license with appropriate adaptation restrictions;
  4. Or possess a current (last 12 months) prescription for vehicle modifications;
  5. Must have been turned down for a financial loan through the AT Financial Loan Program within the MD Department of Disabilities OR voluntarily self disqualify by not applying to the AT Financial Loan Program
Full text of the legislation, HB1481,can be found here. 

If you would like further information on the qualification process, joining the driver-eligibility list, or would like to donate a working, adapted vehicle, please email mdtap.general@maryland.gov.
