Advocacy Days 2023 Transportation Equity for Non-Drivers

The ability to get to where we need to go on our schedules, whether to work, to the doctor or to spend time with friends or family, is essential.
Transportation access is a social determinant of health, a link to employment, and often a step toward financial security. Nearly 1/3 of Wisconsin residents are non-drivers, yet our transportation systems are built for those who do drive.
In this session, attendees will:
1. Gain understanding of the transportation programs in our state to better advocate for change.
2. Learn about the transportation proposals from the Council and other advocacy groups for the state budget and how they would impact the quality of services.
3. Develop advocacy strategies to creating greater transportation equity and access for non-drivers.
Speakers: Denise Jess, WCBVI, Nick Musson, Greater WI Agency on Aging Resources and Holly Keenan, Luther Social Services

Blind people should have cars.

The problem of blind people not having cars and motorcycles and not being able to travel is the government’s and government workers fault, it is abuse of power and abuse of “authority”.⛪️🇺🇸🛫
