Transit Planning 4 All Virtual Roundtables: Lessons Learned

Over the past decade, the ACL-funded Transit Planning 4 All initiative has promoted the development and dissemination of best practices in transit planning inclusive of people with disabilities and older adults. A major component of these efforts is funding a series of demonstration projects, each seeking to increase inclusion in transportation planning. Transit Planning 4 All is hosting an online roundtable series with representatives from these demonstration projects to discuss the lessons learned. Each roundtable will include time for audience questions and dialogue. All sessions will be recorded and will be posted on the Transit Planning 4 All website.

Captioning and American Sign Language will be provided for each of these events. A separate registration is required to attend each roundtable.
