Attend a Conference about Accessible Transportation

Transportation is the number one factor limiting independence for older adults, individuals with disabilities, as well as low-income people seeking employment. The Aging and Disability Resource Consortium of the Greater North Shore (ADRC of GNS) invites you to attend the conference Choices for Change: Accessible Transportation for All on Friday, September 24, 2010. Guests will learn from key note speakers and panelists about transportation best practices and potential solutions to fill the gaps that many individuals on the North Shore face. You should attend this conference if you are interest in, limited by, or concerned about transportation.
