NDOT seeks public comment on rural transit needs, meetings in Carson City, Carson Valley
CARSON CITY — The Nevada Department of Transportation is hosting community workshops to gather public input on rural transit services and needs. NDOT is updating the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan for rural Nevada.
The plan assesses existing transit services and future needs to help guide transit prioritization and identify strategies to meet future transit needs across the state.
Community workshops will be hosted to gather input on challenges and unmet passenger transportation needs in rural Nevada. Topics will include rural community needs for public transportation to work, medical appointments, entertainment and other venues. Public, private and non-profit transportation providers, human service agencies and citizens needing public transportation are encouraged to attend to learn more about the plan and share feedback about local and regional access to transit resources.
