Marin Agency Transportation Needs & Resources Survey
June 24, 2010
The Marin Mobility Consortium, a new collaboration of Marin's community stakeholders and advocates, would like to know about the transportation needs faced by Marin's senior, disabled and low-income residents. The following link is to an on-line survey designed to collect information about these transportaion needs as well as the transportation resources of Marin's various agencies or organizations that serve Marin's transit-dependent residents. Although the survey was designed for responses from the agencies that serve these populations, responses from individuals who are concerned about these issues are also encouraged -- simply complete as much of the survey as you can. The Consortium will use this information to look at how to coordinate resources and services so as to provide more mobility options for Marin's residents.
