Transportation
Public transit is available through the Regional Transit Service, yet ridership struggled during the pandemic and transportation infrastructure is a oft-cited challenge throughout our region.
Communities without options for transportation have difficulty accessing the community’s assets and addressing basic needs of all residents.
There is a collective impact effort in process, the Transportation Impact Collective, with representation from municipal government, local advocacy organizations, and local transportation agencies.
