PATH recently hosted a community presentation at Dr. Ho’s Humble Pie, bringing together older adults from the North Garden and Covesville areas for a conversation about public transportation. The event provided an opportunity for PATH to connect directly with residents, share information about its PATH Helpline and mobility services, and better understand the unique transportation needs of rural communities in southern Albemarle County.
During the presentation, PATH staff highlighted available public transit resources, including services provided by Jaunt. Attendees learned how to schedule rides, what types of trips are available, and how to navigate the system with confidence. The session emphasized practical, real-world guidance, helping to reduce uncertainty and encourage more people to consider transit as a viable option for medical appointments, errands, and social activities.
Events like this reflect PATH’s ongoing commitment to community outreach and partnership-building across the region. By collaborating with local providers like Jaunt and meeting residents where they are, PATH continues to strengthen connections between people and transportation. These efforts not only expand awareness of existing services but also help identify gaps and opportunities, ensuring that mobility solutions evolve in step with the needs of the communities they serve.
