Transportation Partnerships & Practices in Advancing Transportation Equity

Providing equitable transportation to underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized communities requires multiple sectors working together, including public transit, community transportation providers and human services agencies. Ensuring that transportation meets the needs of older adults and people with disabilities from traditionally underserved communities makes it even more critical that cross-sector collaboration and the development of innovative mobility solutions to advance transportation equity in the community occur.

Join the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center for an engaging panel discussion that brings together expertise in multiple sectors – public transit, human services transportation, aging and disability services – to discuss innovative partnerships and practices and the resulting measurable impact on equitable transportation access in communities. This forum will provide attendees with increased knowledge on how to tailor their transportation programs to address the needs of diverse older adults and people with disabilities through successful partnerships and adoption of promising practices.

Prospective Panelists:

 Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area

 Capital Area Rural Transit System (CARTS)

 Capital Metro, Austin

 Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities

 VIA Metropolitan Transit
