Thursday (Dec 13) 1:00 pm at Mt Pleasant/Titus County Chamber of Commerce, 1604 North Jefferson, TxDOT staff will discuss the Federal Transit Administration Program 5310 to enhance the mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities.

This federal program provides funding for transportation options that address the needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when current transportation service is unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate.

TxDOT’s series of regional listening sessions will gather input from interested parties in rural communities across Texas. They also provide an opportunity to learn about the public transportation program from local transit providers. Invited are residents from Bowie, Camp, Cass, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Panola, Titus and Upshur Counties for this meeting.

Interested parties may also participate online by going to www.txdot.gov and searching keywords “get involved” and give input by taking an online survey by searching keywords “enhanced mobility.”
