@NadiaWorsley I totally resemble that remark. I’m talking learner and I present for a living.

@floridartap ❤️❤️🎉

[National RTAP @nat_rtap]

A6. So true @MattCrespi - It's the tech that puts the mobility in rural transit. #RuralTransitDay

[floridartap @floridartap]

Rural agencies have to cross state lines for medical appointments. #ruraltransitday I see you @GADeptofTrans @ALDOT

[National RTAP @nat_rtap]

A5. That's an excellent idea @Transit_Happy. And we're happy🙂to see you on #RuralTransitDay

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@RichInTransit @humantransit Yeah! I can’t wait till they connect out of state. NC and TN in particular.

[Wyatt Gordon @yitgordon]

Virginia’s is also experiencing an intercity bus revival as @VirginiaDRPT has helped set up four hugely popular north-south @VABreezeBus routes with a fifth that will mirror the proposed Commonwealth Corridor on the way. 🚌💨

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@nat_rtap I feel lucky I was able to participate with the #NADO team supporting their initial program. #ruraltransitday at the rural grocery summit I met other rural ppl interested in starting service

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@NADTCmobility Park and rides can help get people to work. Bike racks on buses help with first mile last mile access. Make it easier for people to access alternative modes including walking and biking. #ruraltransitday

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@HeleOnJohnA #ruraltransitday I used the Gorge service Portland to the Dalles to go on a bike ride with a friend. Other people were going for a day out w/o driving or hike on the PCT

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@HeleOnJohnA I have used regional services @KayakTransit that helped me get to appointments and meetings while others on the same bus used it to get to work everyday.

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@floridartap A1: make friends. The Rural Transit industry is a very friendly place. You can share questions, ideas, and build on successes. #ruralTransitDay

@ruralhealthinfo @nat_rtap has ADA training for drivers available in two different ELearning courses. Plus 2 the Point training can help liven up your driver training meetings with quizzes. #Resources4Rurals #Transit #DriverTraining

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@ruralhealthinfo Yes and the very attributes that attract ppl to rural communities can be barriers for healthy aging and access to needed services. Transportation can mitigate isolation and by its very existence reflect the community value for its residents #Resources4Rurals

[Texas A&M Transportation Institute @TTITAMU]

@ruralhealthinfo Access barriers are worsened in rural areas because of limited transportation options, long travel distances and lengthy wait times. Inadequate infrastructure, including sidewalks and street connections, further hinders safe access to public transportation. #Resources4Rural

[RobinNationalRTAP @RobinRtap]

@ruralhealthinfo Social Determinants of Health need access for success. Transportation is a key element of engagement, interaction, and learning. Build access into your program and help people focus on barriers to success and connection rather than access to opportunities. #Resources4Rurals
