Description

Partnerships with governmental entities, local businesses and community organizations are vital to the success of public transit systems across the SWTA Nation. To acknowledge the importance and dedication of these partners, SWTA has launched the SWTA Standard for Transit Advocacy to recognize organizations and leaders who’s collaboration has improved mobility options in their communities.

This webinar will provide examples from several SWTA members and their community partners as they tell the story of their collaboration, including the issues that brought them together, challenges encountered and solutions developed as a result of these partnerships
