On February 18th at Feeding Greene Food Pantry in Stanardsville, members of TJPDC mobility management program (PATH) hosted a Transportation Solutions Workshop, bringing together members of the local community to explore public transportation options available in Greene County and the Region 10 area.
The workshop provided detailed information on how County of Greene residents can utilize Jaunt services to travel to Charlottesville and the metropolitan areas of Albemarle County. Participants were guided on navigating Charlottesville using Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT), MicroCAT, and UTS (University Transit Service).
Together with attendees, organizers shared experiences regarding public transportation challenges in rural areas and engaged in a meaningful discussion on potential solutions. Among the participants were representatives of local charity organizations (Feeding Greene Inc., GRACE) which are directly involved in assistance to seniors and people with disabilities. We look forward to hosting future workshops to continue promoting public transit as a vital resource for our communities.
