Measurements of the differential cross section and the transverse single-spin asymmetry, A_N, vs x_F for π⁰ and η mesons are reported for 0.4_F<0.75 at an average pseudorapidity of 3.68. A data sample of approximately 6.3 pb⁻¹ was analyzed, which was recorded during p^↑+p collisions at √s=200 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The average transverse beam polarization was 56%. The cross section for π⁰, including the previously unmeasured region of x_F>0.55, is consistent with a perturbative QCD prediction, and the η/π⁰ cross-section ratio agrees with existing midrapidity measurements. For 0.55_F<0.75, the average A_N for η is 0.210±0.056, and that for π⁰ is 0.081±0.016. The probability that these two asymmetries are equal is ~3%.
