Ensure underserved and/or special need populations have access to adequate public transportation services

Goal 8. Ensure underserved and/or special need populations have access to adequate public transportation services

Access and mobil­i­ty must be enhanced for all pop­u­la­tions, espe­cial­ly those who do not or can­not rely on pri­vate­ly-owned auto­mo­biles to get around. The Town should deter­mine whether or not there are pop­u­la­tions that have spe­cial needs or are under­served when it comes to exist­ing pub­lic trans­porta­tion ser­vices and, if nec­es­sary, iden­ti­fy areas for enhance­ment of pub­lic trans­porta­tion for those pop­u­la­tions. The Town should also remain attuned to the trans­porta­tion needs of seniors and engage with mer­chants to make mass tran­sit eas­i­er for their employ­ees to use and access.
