Transit Family of Services
|
The Transit Family of Services Committee is run by a team of IPATH members dedicated to trans-disciplinary/cross-sector collaboration and information sharing. This committee provides information, advice, and recommendations on transit and mobility issues as determined by committee members.
A comprehensive mobility strategy allows a community to benefit through the provision of targeted and efficient transit options for the individual user regardless of income, physical ability, age, gender and ethnicity. This strategy should provide connections to work, health care, shopping and services, schools, social networks and leisure/recreational activities. Mobility options may include demand-response suburban first and last mile connections to transit hubs, rural shared-ride options, and frequent limited stop and local fixed route bus and rail routes. Fast, frequent and adequately funded public and other shared-ride services are necessary to sustainable support growing local economies and healthy populations. |
