Has any state put out an RFP to improve transit somehow? We are looking into that here…and just struggling with a project idea.
Also-thanks for the words of encouragement all, it was needed today.

No we have no public transportation infrastructure. We have NEMT and private providers. 4 towns/cities have public bus transportation that have limited schedules/days
they provide service. We have nothing public that moves people from north to south or east to west.

Thank you Christine for this information.
Do you have good coverage of the state with public transit? Do transit providers rely heavily on smartphone technology for navigation? Are job seekers expressing concern about the lack of coverage and affordability of internet to utilize
mass transit?
Just needed to dig a little deeper for understanding.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Bax

In Idaho we have large rural areas without cell phone coverage and internet service providers, but we are a large western state with frontier counties. We work to resolve this as best we can by doing mailings and old fashioned conference calls from a land line.

Good morning,
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to use the Des Moines public transit system. In an effort to be in all the right places at the right time, I relied heavily on my smartphone. For example, if I had a meeting not at my office, I used the online trip planner and then sent the information to my smartphone for stop information and times.
My concern for people with disabilities through this experience was the affordability of smartphones and the service plans. Are any other Council's hearing this from their members? Do you have current projects geared toward addressing this issue?
On a separate note, but still transportation related, has any Council had experience with the Every Place Counts leadership academy? https://www.transportation.gov/leadershipacademy I'm thinking this would be a powerful advocacy experience for an individual that wants to serve on their regional transit boards and provide input to the Transit ADA transition plans.
Thank you in advance, and happy Tuesday,
--
