(a) The department may, when funds are available from the United States government for such purposes, provide financial assistance with such funds, or such funds and state general funds appropriated for these purposes, to private nonprofit corporations and associations for the specific purpose of assisting them in providing transportation services meeting the special needs of the elderly or persons with disabilities, or both, for whom the department determines that the mass transportation services planned, designed, and carried out by local public bodies, agencies, and authorities are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate.
