Transportation is always identified as a major gap/ barrier to services to children and families in West Virginia. Here are some upcoming caucuses in October where citizens will get a chance to voice their issues, and hear others.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Transportation is an essential part of any health, education, employment, transition or community living program. Currently only 33 counties have any sort of public transit and most is limited to specific program participants. The time to improve transportation in West Virginia is NOW!
Gateways is hosting a series of Transportation Caucuses across West Virginia to provide information and create a plan to encourage the most efficient and effective use of transportation resources in our state to serve the greatest number of people. If you are a transportation user, provider, funder or advocate, please register to attend the Caucus in your area.
