Community Connections:
Transportation Options for All Ages  Summit
September 19, 2014     8:30 am - 12:10 pm

Come to a fun event filled with hands-on learning and discussion about transportation options for all ages, the young and the old, on Friday, September 19th.  This event will be held in conjunction with the Active Aging Week (September 21-27, 2014) http://www.landofsky.org/activeaging.html.

Our senior community is growing in Western North Carolina, and people are looking for options to age in place and retain their independence.  At the same time, working families with young children are also looking for affordable and accessible ways to get to school, to work and to other important destinations.  Transportation options accessible for people “from 8 to 80”, from safer sidewalks to bus service to paratransit can be a part of the solution. 

Who Should Attend:
•    community leaders, interested citizens, transportation and social services stakeholders
•    local government staff and elected officials
•    focus on Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison and Transylvania Counties
•    community stakeholders, citizens and staff from the wider Western North Carolina region welcome

The morning schedule will include an overview of demographic issues in the region, and a panel of transportation experts and local government staff.  

Please contact lyuba(at)landofsky.org if you have questions about the event.
