20240328 Untangling Transportation-Part 1 of Transit Advocacy Toolbox Originally Broadcasted March 28, 2024, on ACB Media 5 Transit is local. That means that effective transit advocacy begins at home. Therefore, we will be using the next several months to deliver a free seven-part course that will cover everything you need to know to be a powerhouse transit advocate with your transit agency, in the community where you live, work, and travel. During this episode, we’ll discuss the laws that create the requirements for accessible public transit and paratransit, how transit services are planned and funded, and how decisions are made. You can learn more about the entire seven-part Transit Advocacy Toolbox by visiting our website. Sponsored by: Accessible Avenue
