They're working with Jenn Buteau from the Alliance on Healthy Aging which is overseeing a state-based needs assessment for transportation, which hopefully will help address some of the public transit deserts in the state like my town of New Hampton, the towns surrounding Keene in the Monadnock area, or the North Country to mention a few. Below are the details for the listening sessions, and attached is a PDF flier for those same sessions. If you can't read the PDF, or you have questions, feel free to contact Lisa Stedman or myself and I will get you in touch with the organization. It would be incredibly helpful if anyone would consider attending on the 18th or 19th.

We hope you can join us in place of this month's Lunch & Learn! Speak Up for Better Transportation in NH - Join Us or Take the Survey Transportation is a critical link to independence, inclusion, and quality of life - but for many people with disabilities in New Hampshire, it's not working the way it should. The ABLE NH Transportation Task Force has partnered with the NH Commission on Aging to invite you to speak up as part of a statewide Community Transportation Needs Assessment focused on improving transportation for people with disabilities. Your input will directly shape state policy, funding, and service improvements. You can participate in two easy ways: Option 1- Join a virtual listening session July 18 at 12:00 pm or 7:00 pm, or July 19 at 10:00 am https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84389460204 (Meeting ID: 843 8946 0204, Passcode: 603) No prep needed - just come as you are to share your experiences. Option 2- Can't make it? Complete the survey instead Your voice is just as important. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/transport_nh Why this matters: This effort is part of a federally funded initiative through the NH Commission on Aging and ABLE NH's Transportation Equity Task Force. The results will inform the state's long-term plans to invest in better, more accessible, and more equitable transportation options. We especially want to hear from: People with disabilities Caregivers and family members Direct support professionals Advocates and allies Please join us, take the survey, and share this opportunity with your networks. Together, we can help fix what's broken and build a transportation system that works for all. -- Lisa Steadman on Behalf of the ABLE NH Transportation Equity Task Force To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to Transportation+unsubscribe at ablenh.org . -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
