Provide Input on The Mobility and Access for All Ages & Abilities Plan
The draft of the Mobility and Access for All Ages and Abilities Plan, or the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan, is a collaborative action plan for human services and transportation programs and partners to work together to improve mobility and access for people of all ages and abilities in and around Boulder County. The plan includes realistic and manageable strategies for the Mobility and Access Coalition (MAC) and its community partners to work on collaboratively and adequately address over the next 5 years.
We are looking for your input on these strategies that will guide the work of Boulder County, Mobility for All, the MAC, and Youth Transportation Programs over the next five years. Specifically, we would appreciate any comments about the "who" in each strategy.
Comments on the plan are due by March 25.
