[nfb-talk] Transportation Plans for Hard to Access Chapters

[Mark Tardif]

Some states are just too spread out and rural even for that.  I live in 
Maine, but in what some people refer to as "the other Maine."  This is not 
what the tourists see during the summer when they come for lobster or to 
visit the shore.  This is northernmost Maine, practically into Canada. 
Anyway, we have an at large chapter that meets every month in a conference 
call.  Most of our members are in southern Maine.  To get there would take 
literally 5 or 6 hours and I'd end up staying in a hotel, so for us, that 
idea is just not practical.

How about free conference call, every other month and meet in person the 
other months.  Members could contribute to to a donation and mabe you could 
get some volenteers to drive for those 6 meetings.

If there is no transportation, people cannot find their own unless they have 
relatives to drive them.  Is there any way you could help all the members to 
go on skype and have the meetings on skype?

Hello all,

I'm trying to start a chapter in a part of Virginia where public 
transportation is very limited. We're not exactly rural, but transportation 
is a big reason why the chapter has failed to start in times past. Can 
someone recommend transportation plans they utilized in such a scenario?
Also, to what extent is transportation the responsibility of the chapter, 
and to what extent should the membership find their own way to the meeting 
location? Thank you kindly in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Joe
